My Review

If you are a writing prompt or planning to write a book then this book is definitely a pick for you. I really liked the concept where it provides some situation based on the categories and just let your imagination to do the job. There are eight categories in this book to enhance your writing skills: 

1. What happens next?
2. Character-building
3. Incredible India
4. Genres 
5. Everyday Magic
6. Two-Parters 
7. Integration
8. Every hair on its head

Writing requires a lot of work- Hard Work. To me, writing is a unique passion and requires dedication and thought that is inside of each of us. This book helps you to discover your strengths and weaknesses and benefits you in such a way to turn your weaknesses into strengths. The prompts in this book are not random or any provocative words designed to stir you to write just anything. I could see that the author has made a lot of efforts and left no stone unturned. My favourite category was 'what happens next?' and to me, it has many cool prompts there. 


What I find intriguing here, every person will have a different approach for different situations and the author has made a website where all the passages and stories based on this book's prompt will be posted online on mystory@booksofprompts.com.

ME BEFORE YOU BY JOJO MOYES

Blurb:   Lou Clark knows lots of things. She knows how many footsteps there are between the bus stop and home. She knows she likes working in The Buttered Bun tea shop and she knows she might not love her boyfriend Patrick. What Lou doesn't know is she's about to lose her job or that knowing what's coming is what keeps her sane. Will Traynor knows his motorcycle accident took away his desire to live. He knows everything feels very small and rather joyless now and he knows exactly how he's going to put a stop to that. What Will doesn't know is that Lou is about to burst into his world in a riot of colour. And neither of them knows they're going to change the other for all time. I hesitated first to read this book because romance genre is not my cup of tea.  Romance genre seem to be always average for me.  I tried to read some books to change my perception but only disappointment comes in. So, I convinced myself to read this book and I was

PERCY JACKSON & THE LIGHTNING THEIF

Arrrghhhh... PERCY JACKSON!!! Okay. I've had this book since a really long time, but never read it because? I seriously can't remember the reason anymore. I cannot believe I've waited this looooong to get to this book, because this book is everything! So to start, the best thing I like about this series is that it's set in the 21st century, so it's relatable (well not in a demigod-ish camp-halfblood way). The character development is amazing, and so is the friendship development. Also the way this story just molds with Greek Mythology and has so much greek elements to it is just so fascinating. All those Greek Gods and stuff! This book is about a boy named Percy Jackson who has special needs. He is dyslexic and has ADHD (but there's a reason for that). His father is Poseidon –YEAH THAT'S RIGHT!! THE FRIGGING GOD OF THE  SEA (how cool is that?).  So he's dyslexic because his brain is 'hard-wired' to read ancient Greek and ADHD is jus
