Mini Book Haul Wednesday

Mini Book Haul Wednesday

Posted August 1, 2018 by @amanhimself in blog, Books / 0 Comments

It is only the start of the month and I received a gift from Bloomsbury India. So excited to read this and review it. Blurb Pyjama Profit is a guide for millennials to get started with a self-sustained online freelance practice, while developing their skills needed to succeed. The book talks about in-demand online skills and the different paths one can take to become an expert in these fields. A stable income from freelancing in college was the bedrock that had allowed the authors to explore their ambitions further and get to where they are today. In the process, they’ve worked with many of their own batch mates, colleagues and friends to help them set up highly successful freelance careers. […]

Keeping up with Kaneda is Gaurav Sharma’s debut in the world of fiction. It is a short novella, the published work being only 130 pages long.

BOOK REVIEW: The Inheritants Saga by Kristy Mackmurdie

Kristy Mackmurdie’s latest trilogy, The Inheritants, an urban fantasy, is her debut work. The book is divided into three parts namely: The Funeral March, Invisible Man and The Offering.

BOOK REVIEW: Such is Her Life by Reecha Agarwal Goyal

Posted June 23, 2018 by @amanhimself in Book Reviews, Books, Non-Fiction / 0 Comments

Such is Her Life is the debut work of writer Reecha Goyal published earlier this year. It is a heartwarming collection of thoughts. These thoughts are based mostly on reality and presented to us as a reader in the form of musings. It is as clear and raw as if I, the reader is picking on her brain. Expressed over 184 pages long, the whole concept works well as it contains around 150 musings. The common theme of these musings is the role a woman plays in lives of everyone as a mother, daughter, sister, wife, daughter-in-law, but societal norms do not appreciate all the effort to the life giver herself. I know that the western world has accepted or […]
