Book Review- Ranjan and his Many Lives by Prakash Balasubramanian . Rating- 4/5 ✨ . Ranjan is in a coma after surgery for lung cancer. The plot revolves around his family as they wait for him to wake up. Tara, Ranjan’s wife is a very hard-working mother of two kids and a restaurant owner. While Ranjan is in a coma, he has encounters with God and several characters from the Mahabharata. The characters tell him their perspective on their decisions and actions. The book starts by discussing the purpose of human life. The preface by Swaran Singh IAS (Retd) discusses the evolution of human beings throughout time, from living in caves to living in multi-story buildings. He addresses one of the most important questions of life— Are we happy, peaceful and healthy? Is our society harmonious? The book delves deeper into these topics. . I really enjoyed reading this book and also learned a lot from it. Read my full review of this book on my blog! Link in bio. . Q.

Hey everyone! . I keep hoping that I'll eventually break this cycle of not posting regularly but it doesn't happen. I'm still gonna hope. . Featuring here a small book haul. Thank you @book.chor for these bookmarks ❤️ I absolutely love them. . READING UPDATE . I haven't been reading a lot lately. I have a few pending review copies so hoping to finish that soon. I've been re-reading an old favorite romance series. Besides this, I'm focusing on my college reading list which has some really good books this semester. So far, I've read Alice Through The Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll. This book is even more bonkers than Alice in Wonderland. Also, good luck to all of you participating in #discoveringindiareadathon! I'll try to read atleast one book for it. . I'm watching That 70's Show on Netflix. Since Taylor Swift's latest song The Archer came out (It's absolutely lyrically beautiful. Go listen to it), I've been listening to all her old songs. . What's been going on in your lives? What are you currently reading/listening/watching? . . . #bookstagramindia #unitedbookstagram #delhibookstafam #bookhaul #currentlyreading

The Broken Amoretti by Sudipto Das and Aparajita Dutta . The book is narrated by Saoli. She went to IIT Kharagpur and has a lot of fond memories in the town. She is coming back to India to teach English at IIT KGP after separating from her husband. She meets Parushni at a paper conference at Jadavpur University. Since both of their papers were on lesbianism, they get to know each other and form a close bond. . Saoli finds a diary filled with poetry. The poems are filled with references from Greek mythology. She is fascinated by one poem which is written in dactyl hexameter, the Homeric meter. It talked about Parush and Batista. From then on, we read about the story of this couple. Parush is Parushni’s brother, and Batista was the girl he fell in love with during his college days. . Read my review of this book on my blog! Link in bio! . Q. Do you prefer complex or simple plots? What are your favorite books of these types? . . #delhibookstafam #unitedbookstagram #bookstagramindia #bookreview

Q. Do you read books based on true crimes? Any favorites? . Why She Lied by Julie Coons . “Always, listen to your gut.“ The protagonist Julie is a single mother working in the emergency room of a hospital. Her life has been incredibly difficult so far. She was abused by her mother and raped in college. She is raising her daughter all on her own with no child support from her ex. She meets a guy named James and suddenly everyone is encouraging her to go out with him. Ignoring her intuition, she gets into a relationship with him. She finds out she is pregnant on the same day that he tells us he has been accused of child molestation. As the book starts, Julie narrates some things she has witnessed while working in the ER and describes the crimes in her town. From then on, I knew this was going to be a terrifying read. . .

Q. Do you read graphic novels or comics? Do you like them just as much as novels or less/more? . Hi everyone! . Here's a graphic novel recommenation for you all. . Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic by Alison Bechdel is a graphic memoir. It's the author's story of her relationship with her father. She comes as a lesbian in college and later finds out that her father is gay. The book is very emotional and shows an extremely complicated family dynamic. I really admire the author in penning down her own story in this wonderful graphic novel. . . . #graphicnovel #delhibookstafam #bookstagramindia #unitedbookstagram

Q. If you wrote a fantasy book, where would it take place? Can be on earth/any dimensiom/realm/country etc. . The Devil's Apprentice (The Great Devil War, Book 1) by Kenneth B. Andersen . . Phillip, a 13-year-old boy, is killed and goes to Hell. The problem is that he wasn’t supposed to go to hell. He is a good boy who never lies and never hurts anyone. It was the school bully Sam, a heartless tormentor of his fellow students, who was supposed to die and become the devil’s successor in Hell. Lucifer is furious at the mistake as he was counting on Sam to take over his kingdom. He is left with no choice but to train Phillip to become a Devil from the Angel that he is. The entire book takes place in Hell. However, it’s not the typical Hell. There is torture and evil all around but also, kids are going to school and people are doing their jobs just like on Earth. This setting was very strange but also very interesting to read. If this sounds interesting, read the full review on my blog!
