Tiny Feature: Thoughts of a blogger “en herbe”
What I have learned in my first week of blogging 1/ The world of blogging is its own universe and is limitless And I am probably stating the obvious here…but it was not obvious to me. How did I reach this conclusion? Well, I decided to launch a blog, posting the reviews of all the…
Book Review: ” The Casual Vacancy” by J.K Rowling
Synosis from  What a way to break the mold Ms @jk_rowling ! “The Casual Vacancy” had been on my To Be Read list since February and it took one of my TBR pal from a book club to select it for me to read. Well, I am glad I got to read it. I…
Series Book Review: “Dark Lover” by J.R. Ward
This series became my “peche mignon”, in the sense that I read one installment usually after a read that I find taxing. Thank God this is a fantasy world! This much hotness in only one place and the world would just implode :). I was looking for something entertaining and easy to read and I…
Read4Review: “Superunknown: Of Fairytales and Grunge” by G.C. Huxley
Well, there is that one book that I was not taken with. But I am sure it will be a hit with a lot of readers so don’t let my opinion sway you. I would like to first of all thank the author for providing me with a copy of Superunknown and will provide an…
Book Review: “The Light Between Oceans” by M.L. Stedman
I remember reading this and being so mad at Isabel throughout the whole book. Evidence right there, that I was completely and totally engaged in this read, hence the 5 star rating. Here’s my March 2014 review I have just finished this book and I find myself smiling, which was not at all how…
Book Review: “Orphan Train” by Christina Baker Kline
My first audiobook!! I remember not knowing what to expect when I first pressed “play” for this book, but @bakerkline took me on a tragic and beautiful journey, where the characters found a little happiness where ever they could and the story was beautifully told by the narrator. I have not listened to an audiobook…
Book Review: “Fault In Our Stars” by John Green
Below is my June 2014 review about the book, at the time where I had turned the last page. I had not heard about @johngreen and the phenomena that was his novel, and one of my book club pal had selected it for me to read at a time where I was unwell. I ended…

Book Review: “Attachments” by Rainbow Rowell
This one also made it to my “2014 Top 10 list of Faves” Ironically ‘Attachments’ is the first published novel by @rainbowrowell and for some reason I decided to read it after ‘Eleanor and Park’ and ‘Fangirl’ which are equally both literary chef d’oeuvres (in my books at least). I tend to go for favorites…
Tiny Book Review: “The Help” by Kathryn Stockett
Another book that made my 2014 list of faves!! Only just a few words suffice to grasp how good this book is: “You is kind, you is smart, you is important”. LaChouett
