Reading Tales

  • Reading tales: Time War and The Spear

    Recently, my mother saw me charging my Kindle for the second time in a week and she said, “I preferred it when you were going to the library for books. At least that way, you’d take breaks in between.” It made me laugh. Because now that instant gratification has become a thing with the Kindle,…

    How do you rate books?

    I dislike giving stars to books. I remember talking to a friend, telling her how much I love a book and she happened to see the rating I had given this book and she was confused because I had given it only 3 stars. When she asked me to explain, I had no idea why…

  • Reading tales: Project Hail Mary and the Murderbot Diaries

    I haven’t written a post on my blog – or for #BlogchatterBlogHop – in a while and it does not surprise me that I’m breaking this dry spell because this week’s prompt says: a book or movie that deeply impacted you. And now I have zero excuses to not talk about these two books that…

  • Not a book review: The Seas

    I usually have very little patience for books like The Seas. From the blurb and the first chapter, I was expecting a book that would be self-indulgent, romanticize mental illness, have no plot and just meander through the pages, coming to an abrupt end like the author couldn’t be arsed to at least write a…

  • Not a book review: A Meaningful Triumph

    I love fantasy. I think that’s a well-established fact, especially if you see my Netflix suggestions and the books I have read or added to my TBR. It pains me that there are so few fantasy readers and authors in India. So obviously I had to read and review Arsh’s ebook A Meaningful Triumph.
