An interesting discussion of how food & fiction are interconnected. Got a few reading recommendations as well..

"Men always think war is about them." But women know what a real war is - its difficulties & struggles which are not always in the battlefield.
Wonderfully written??

Disclaimer :This is a strictly personal preference of mine.
Picked book because as a literature graduate it's expected of me to be familiar with it.
Honestly, I didn't feel it was as gripping as it was taunted to be.
A lot of topics were touched upon, but not to further the plot or aid in making the reader engrossed on it. Most of the details felt extraneous & thrust upon a reader who had a lukewarm response to the entire thing.
Wonderful, wholesome, bitter-sweet romance.. Finally felt the satisfaction of a good book after 2 months this year

A very relevant study on women's much sought after work-life balance.
Sometimes we need a reminder time to time. To know that we are enough & we can be more & we can always get better not to please others but for ourselves.

The blurb on the back cover sounded interesting - Dante dons the detective hat, a medieval mystery exotic setting in Old Italy. I picked it up immediately.
Unfortunately, it's the wrong book for me..
After hours of trying to read. It didn't pull me in.

Not all silences are forced upon,
Some silences are chosen.
When the horizons of understanding are widened with the thirst for deeper knowledge, silence does have a voice and a colour too. It is a vibrant symphony in itself. Keener eyes and sharper ears can see and hear all the tones of this otherwise invisible and inaudible silence.
This is my first published book. Back in 2019.

#themidnightlibrary is the kind of book that expands beyond just one label. It is a new-gen novel that flows across lives, space and timeline. It touches the invisible corner in the conscience where hope eternally fights and holds its fort.

I am sure there is Magic in everything. Only we have not sense enough to get hold of it and make it do things for us.
Life has a manual & it's engrained in all our brains. But if we choose not to follow those instructions & decide to lead life on your own terms you become "abnormal". Story of such an abnormal lady.
I am no bird; and no net ensnares me: I am a free human being with an independent will.
