Rhapsodic (The Bargainer Series #1) By Laura Thalassa
So many elements here are fascinating – myths and folklores taken from world over, dissolved into the story with ease. These are what makes the reading experience a lot more fun!
The Bookshop On The Corner by Jenny Colgan
I’m so glad I read this, albeit an ebook version. I wish I did end up getting a paperback of this. It’s a book I will re-read and cherish for life, and recommend to anyone looking for a pick-me-up and know-yourself-better read.

That’s Simoquin Prophecies for you. Took me a while to finish this, but honestly it was worth savouring. The book is fresh and original and yet spoofs practically every…

Having grown up in watching Ramsay horror movies with the ‘chudails’ and ‘pishach’ chasing me in my nightmares, a book written by the descendant of the Ramsay family really intrigued me.
The Book Thief by Markus Zusak
