This is one of the different book I've read.
I think I will not be able to write a review because that might be turn into spoiler
Just because something comes easily to you, does not mean it has no value.
You find it effortless because you love it, and that is why it is your gift.
I liked it; I was the one who was possibly insecure from loneliness ‘cuz I believed in true love, but this book show me a mirror of my true existence.... Just want a friend to be emotionally attached with
for some people, friendship is more valuable than so many things, and I believe I am the one.
My perspective may not match yours.
The novel “On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous” by the author uses deep emotions and pain that bring tears to the eyes of readers. The author tells the story of Little Dog, a protagonist in the Vietnam War and his struggles as an immigrant in America, including his struggles with his sexuality. The unique aspect of the book is that everything is presented in the form of a letter written by Little Dog to his mother.
Few dialouge from the novel
As a rule, be more.
As a rule, I miss you.
As a rule, “little” is always smaller than “small.” Don't ask me why
I'm sorry I don't call enough.
Green Apple.
I'm sorry I keep saying How are you? when I really mean Are you
happy?
The first dialogue “As a rule, be more” can be interpreted as a general principle or guideline for living life to the fullest. It suggests that we should strive to do more, be more adventurous, take more risks, and live life to the fullest.
The second dialogue “As a rule, I miss you” expresses a sense of longing and affection for someone who is not present. It implies that the speaker thinks about the person frequently and feels a strong emotional connection with them.
The third dialogue “As a rule, ‘little' is always smaller than ‘small.' Don't ask me why” is a playful and somewhat humorous statement that highlights the subtle nuances of language and word meanings. It suggests that sometimes things may not always make logical sense, but they can still be true.
The fourth dialogue “I'm sorry I don't call enough” is a statement of remorse or regret for not keeping in touch with someone as much as the speaker would like to. It implies a desire to maintain a stronger connection with the person.
The fifth dialogue “Green Apple” is a non sequitur or an abrupt change of subject that can be interpreted as a playful or random statement, or perhaps a reference to something specific that the speaker and listener both understand.
The sixth and final dialogue “I'm sorry I keep saying How are you? when I really mean Are you happy?” is a statement of vulnerability and honesty. It suggests that the speaker may have been avoiding a deeper conversation or expressing their true feelings, and is now opening up and being more authentic with the listener.
"Free Food For Millionaires" is engaging and exceptionally well-written story by Min Jin Lee. The story is medium paced and written in third person. Every character is portrayed with depth. The main protagonist of the story is Casey Han. It's about the difficulties she faces as she moves from her traditional Korean upbringing to a more contemporary American lifestyle, as well as the complexities of cultural divides, familial pressure, personal identity, and class problems. Reading this book was a lot of fun, so I want to read other books written by Min Jin Lee as well.
I read it for my childhood's sake it was one of the chapters in my literature in 6th standard.
Summer Bird Blue” presents a challenging yet poignant narrative, delving into the complexities of grief through Rumi's journey. The raw depiction of her pain and loss makes it a tough but impactful read. The author skillfully explores the idea that some wounds may never fully heal, underscoring the unfairness of certain life experiences.
It would be unfair if I didn't say that it was something beautiful I've read, but there were a few things I didn't really enjoy. At certain points, reading it felt awkward. However, it also brought tears to my eyes—I'm not sure if they were happy or sad tears, as I had mixed feelings by the end of the story.
Sometimes some things are so good and you don't know how to describe them, just like this book.
It starks as a portrayal of the harsh realities endured by village and farmers. Premchand masterfully brings to light the struggles of the farmers, shedding light on the challenges faced by women and exposing the harsh truths of casteism. The novel serves as a poignant reminder of how the upper class perpetuates suppression, showing a vivid picture of societal issues that resonate as more than just fiction—they mirror the poignant reality of many lives in rural India.
There are four characters: Bobbi and Frances, along with the married couple Nick and Melissa. The book is written in an interesting way, particularly in depicting the complex relationships among these four individuals. While I found it enjoyable to read, I didn't particularly like the characters. Perhaps it was the elements of cheating and jealousy that didn't resonate with me. However, I must acknowledge that Sally Rooney's writing is truly exceptional. Therefore, I would give the book a rating of 3 stars out of 5, deducting 2 stars due to my dislike for Melissa and Frances. Neither of them can solely be blamed for their actions, as they were both engaged in questionable behavior (actually all of them).
An erotic novel featuring a relationship between two women who find themselves in a fake relationship. One of the protagonists, Rachel, initially claims to be straight. As the story progresses, Pari, the other character, announces her wedding plans to her parents, and dynamics start to shift.
I genuinely enjoy reading it, appreciating the storyline, although the pace of events feels quite rapid, leaving me uncertain about my reaction. Since, as a fan of stories having nice and satisfying endings, I would rate it 4 stars.
While reading it, I was like, ‘Oh, why didn't I choose it before? It was crazy.' Are you happy in your life?
I was too late for choosing it from my TBR pile. Well, the story starts with a twist in the very first chapter of the book when Jason gets kidnapped by someone at gunpoint, all naked, and wakes up somewhere where everyone thinks they know him but they don't. What can be more shocking for a person whose whole life changed in just a few hours, whose home is not his home anymore, whose wife and son are not his anymore? His whole existence is different from what he has been living all these years.”
“Blake Crouch has written the story in a way that you will not lose your grip on it till the very end; you will enjoy the story. Quantum physics—I don't understand physics at all, but he's written that in a way that you are not going to lose track of the story but to some extent, I also felt it could be a little shorter but yeah I liked the whole story
I was obsessed with this book for the last 2 days and I finished it in 2 days so it is thinkable how much I was in this book.
This book that kept me hooked the entire time. From the start, I was curious and kept thinking, “What's going to happen next?” Each chapter had some surprising twist which made me want to keep reading. The characters felt so real, and the story kept me guessing. It's the kind of book where you never know what's coming, and it keeps you on the edge of your seat all the way to the end. If you love a thrilling mystery, this one will definitely keep you interested from beginning to end!
Thanks, Sudha Murty for Anupma as a self-determined character till the end.l
I love her, the way she found herself strong enough to take care of herself without having a man around her.
Oh, how I adore each volume of this manga! I can't even put into words how much I love it!
"Ahhh, well, I really enjoyed reading this one! The most interesting part was when Rika Machida, a journalist and the main protagonist of the novel, wrote a letter to murder suspect Manako Kajii requesting a specific recipe. Despite Kajii refusing media interviews, but she was not able to stop herself from responding to Rika."
The novel also shows the darker side of Japan—beyond its celebrated culture and beauty—by exploring themes of gender roles, media sensationalism, and the power of food.
I just finished reading the second book, “More Days at Morisaki Bookshop”, and I must say it's incredibly emotional - it can bring tears to your eyes! The character development is impressive unlike first book of the series, with a depth that will make you feel their pain.
I enjoyed this one.
Funny Story had actually been on my TBR for a bit; I read it at the tail end of the year.
This revolves around Daphne, Miles and of course Petra, Peter and Julia, but really Daphne and Miles are the 2 main characters. Daphne was hopelessly in love with her fiancé, Peter, and everything about their relationship felt perfect—until one day, Peter explained to her that he is in love with his best friend. Daphne, heartbroken, eventually finds a new roommate, Miles, who is ex of his ex-fiance's new fiance's ex (Miles is ex of Peter's new fiance). Miles and Daphne agree to pretend to date each other to get back at their exes and hopefully get them to like them. I'll let you read on to see what happens at the end. It's a quick read, and if light romance is your thing, you'll likely have fun with it. Although it's certainly a contemporary romance, I found the ending a little too predictable. Emily Henry has a talent for the unexpected but I was hoping for a bit more.
