Hi everyone! I'm really sorry for being MIA for a long time, but I'm back! Life Update: I have recently read a lot of books and now I'm here to provide some reviews so that you all will be able to decide your next read carefully. Also, I bought a new Kindle Oasis which I'm in love with.  Life has surely been very tough for the past few months, for not only me but for the majority of us, and all credits go to the infamous CORONA VIRUS. Also, I hope each and every one of you have been keeping safe during these hard times.  I have been living alone for the past few months and trying to get by. My social life seems to have hit a new low since I started working from home. But it has also given me extra time to read and do all the things I love. Its technically making lemonade out of the lemons life has given us. Now getting back to the main topic- without further ado, here is a brief review of  "Beach Read" by Emily Henry. Blurb: A roma...

Click Here to purchase a copy from Amazon. Book : Ella Enchanted  Author: Gail Carson Levine Publisher: Harper Collins  Pages: 239 Genre: Fantasy and Fiction  My Rating: 3.75/5 stars  Recommend: Definitely yes! When Ella was born, she was bestowed with a gift of obedience and the unwary fairy Lucinda didn't realize that she lay a curse on her. Now Ella will always be obedient to others and listens to every order directed to her; finish the cake, hop on one foot, kill the prince, betray her kingdom. She is waiting to be free from the curse so, she can be herself and has the power to say no.  "My gift is obedience. Ella will always be obedient. Now stop crying, child." I stopped. Review: As a child, I loved reading fairy tales, but with time it occurred to me that fairy tales usually dispirit women and expect them to behave like a typical princess and someday a prince will save her from misery. Ella Enchanted is a re-telling...

I’ve been on a reading slump for so long as I had so many obligations and commitments that I had to take care of. April was a happy month for me, as my BEST FRIEND tied the knot with the man of her dreams (there aren’t enough emoticons to describe how I feel!). It was a big affair and as one might call- A BIG FAT INDIAN WEDDING. I had the time of my life and literally it got so hard for me to get out of that *wedding zone*. But then I got a reality check as our Finals approached. I had been scared as I wasn’t in the zone to get back to studies just yet. So yes that happened and our Finals took the whole month of May, and it was dreadful, pulling all-nighters, living and breathing on caffeine. But eventually it ended (fortunately) and then I was free! All through my exams I had this urge to drop whatever I was doing, or whichever subject I was preparing for and just pick up a book and start reading it. I had kept so many books on hold that I couldn’t wait to dive back into them. As so...

February Wrap Up February was a good month for reading, and we read six books in total, among which two were e-arcs. I honestly don't enjoy reading e-books, it also takes me ages reading these but I am getting better at it. So, without a further due let's set things moving!! The first book I read this month was  1. The Man Who Won the World by O.E Boroni Rating: 3.5/5 stars. I received an e-arc of this book from the author and I really liked this book. I have already put my review on our blog, Here's the link:  http://thewordaholics.blogspot.in/2017/02/the-man-who-won-world-by-oe-boroni.html   If you want to read a historical fiction then you should grab this book and enter into the world created by O.E. Boronoi.  2. The Sea of Monsters by Rick Riordan  Rating:  4/5 stars. I really enjoyed reading this book!! I read the first book last year and fell in love with Percy Jackson. However, if I compare the first...

Illuminae Review Blurb:   This morning, Kady thought breaking up with Ezra was the hardest thing she’d have to do. This afternoon, her planet was invaded. The year is 2575, and two rival megacorporations are at war over a planet that’s little more than an ice-covered speck at the edge of the universe. Too bad nobody thought to warn the people living on it. With enemy fire raining down on them, Kady and Ezra—who are barely even talking to each other—are forced to fight their way onto an evacuating fleet, with an enemy warship in hot pursuit. But their problems are just getting started. A deadly plague has broken out and is mutating, with terrifying results; the fleet's AI, which should be protecting them, may actually be their enemy; and nobody in charge will say what’s really going on. As Kady hacks into a tangled web of data to find the truth, it's clear only one person can help her bring it all to light: the ex-boyfriend she  swore  she'd never speak to again. ...

Trilogies I want to read in 2017 We all set reading goals at the beginning of the year, and like everyone, I set to read 35 books in 2017. I know this goal is easy as pie, but I don't want to burden myself and read as many books as I possibly can. So my friend and I decided to make a list of the Trilogies we want to read in 2017. Also, these are the that trilogies we haven't started reading (not even the first book) and want to dive into them as soon as we can. This blog will be in two parts: I (Anushka) would write the first part, and Yashvi will write the second part.  Okay, I have five trilogies that I eagerly want to read, and most of them are fantasy. Without any further ado, here's the list: 1. Anna and the French Kiss by  Stephanie Perkins  In this, we have first book Anna and the French Kiss; the second book is Lola and the Boy Next Door and lastly Isla and the Happily Ever After.  These are the contemporary young adult genre, and I...
