Review Archives - Confessions of a Readaholic

The month of February has been a too much of an hassle for me. At the start of the month, I was busy working and launching my book on blogging called A Blogger’s Manifestowhich is a short ebook about blogging that talks about my journey in the world of blogging and I have lot to offer for newbie bloggers and especially for those who are getting started out in the world of book blogging.

Jon Nastor is a famous podcaster by the name of Hack the Entrepreneur which shares same title as the book. I picked this book because I read somewhere about it in which they mentioned as quote from Nastor that no body is born an entrepreneur. It is sort of a skill plus lifestyle that you have to create, build around and live. Though after picking up this book, I can say, there are some inspiring moments mentioned in this book.

I have started this year with an addition of a pure fantasy novel. Tyler Sehn’s first book in the series of Spiritbinder Saga, Daughter of Shadow. You know you are going to read something deep when there is map of a kingdom or a location where most of the plot takes place. Daughter of Shadow follows the traditional way in the fantasy world of Rua.

Abhishek Vincent’s debut The Book of My Life: A True Love journey was released in late 2017. Full of emotions, and deciphering feelings page by page both of the character and the reader, it is a book not to be missed if you are a fan of romance fiction or like to read good heartwarming stories.

South of Main Street written by Robert Gately is a contemporary novel set in small-town Pennsylvania which explores the intangible ties that form a family, a community and the influence that one man can make crossing social and economic lines.

Some say happiness is a state of mind. Many believe in that. I do too. It indeed is a state of mind but we all wonder how to achieve that state of mind, don’t we?

The happiness of an individual is reflected by aspects that are prior to us mortals. These aspects fall under few different criteria and a common ground between them is where the state of happiness lies. It is not something that is achievable because there is nothing to achieve. It is a state of mind that takes some practice and wilful mindfulness on daily basis. Thus, this is the message of Yogesh Chabria, a world-renowned leader in the field of human potential, new book: Succeed The Happionaire Way.

Q. Hi Mr Haggag, and thank you for agreeing this interview. Tell us a little about yourself and your background? I have spent nearly three decades in the corporate business world and I am currently working as a senior executive in the hospitality industry managing a group of hotels. With direct experience in many different aspects of business, including sales, marketing, revenue management, and administration. Having worked in Germany, the United States, Turkey, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia, my global experiences have encouraged me to formulate my thoughts into written documents in business, management, history that I see may be beneficial to the younger generation. Eager to bring enhanced cross-cultural awareness to today’s business leaders.

Most of the Vaynerchuk books are like a personal pep talk. They’d be about money, hard work, work, and his majority focus is on passionate living. I have been following his vlogs on YouTube for months and that what lead me to read his books

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 five years and had a lover in past, and one as a nearby cafe owner. Each new chapter decipher a new phase or a new skeleton in the closet of Anuraag’s past. Other characters that play their roles are essential, which I realised upon reading this novella. They all have involvement in events that turns into violent crimes where some have been victims to those crimes and otherwise some were the performers of them. As it is said in the blurb of the book, there are no innocent people in this book.
