BOOK REVIEW: Your Creative Career by Anna Sabino

Anna Sabino is an entrepreneur and she wrote her debut work, Your Creative Career for budding entrepreneurs in mind who want to pursue a creative path.

Her suggestions in this book are on how to build a business with a creative mindset that reflects one’s skills and by putting one’s effort, one can have earnings. The book starts with some amount of pep talk that I find essential in the genre this book falls under and motivating personally. A reader who wants to pursue...

BOOK REVIEW: Let Me Go by Shriram Iyer

Shriram Iyer’s new book is about a relationship between two friends. Belonging to opposite gender, it tries to breakaway the taboo, the society has been implementing for many years.

All it takes to bring them close is a lost school bag, a missed school bus leading to a walk back home, and a few cutlets to beat the after-school hunger.

BOOK REVIEW: Maps are Lines We Draw by Allison Coffelt

Maps are Lines We Draw is Allison Coffelt’s travel memoir. The book that is actually a novella, deciphers the culture of Haiti. I picked this book because of the cover and the title mainly. They both compliment each other and is a good attraction. Little did I know of Allison’s writing style at that time.

BOOK REVIEW: Radical Self-Love by Gala Darling

  In Radical Self-Love, you’ll discover exactly what makes you so magnificent. Written by Gala Darling, this book is indeed about personal development. I know there are many books out there that cover topics shared by the author in this book. However, this one is unique.

BOOK REVIEW: Mountains to Manhattan by Pinakie Kansabanik

The stories that explore harsh realities always fascinate me. Mountains to Manhattan is a book about Tibetan immigrants to India after the invasion of Red Army. What more fascinated me about this book is that the author has narrated the whole story by opting the opposite gender. The plot revolves around a young, and smart Tenzin Lhamo who was labeled as a refugee before she was born. After the invasion of Red Army her mother, aunt and grandmother had to leave Tibet and settled in India. But did the Indian government did not grant them citizenships and there was a...

BOOK REVIEW: Origami Birds by Tanya Jain

Origami Birds is a collection of forty-four poems written by Tanya Jain. In order to reach a reader’s heart these poems do cover a lot of topics that some of them might be considered sensitive but then I guess poetry is a way of expressing one’s feelings and a way for those who read them to share those expressions and feel a warmth in their heart too. It works both ways.   The title of this collection is rightly justified. When I received, I was curious about it and found a satisfactory verse that introduced me to it at the...

BOOK REVIEW: Based on Lies – It Begins by Debarshi Kanjilal

Based on Lies: It Begins is the first in a series of two novellas published in 2017.  The main element used in this novel is of psychological thriller following the life of Anuraag Sanyal, the protagonist of the novella. The writing certainly displays the dark corners of an imaginative mind. The plot starts with the protagonist sitting in the middle of the night, suffering from insomnia writing in his notepad about the event of his past life. The storyline somewhat follows this pattern and a reader gets to see the Anuraag’s present too. He is having a troubled marriage  for...
