It could have been the title or the summary but something made me want to read the book. I now know, that it was my calling! I have read books like these in the past, I won't deny, but only some have the ability to make a lasting impression.  The Calling   is one such book by Priya Kumar, who is a motivational speaker and has authored several books. The book is described as a spiritual adventure and it does absolute justice to the title. Let us get down to the summary. The Calling  is a story about Arjun, who finds himself in an all time low in life. He is at the brink of a divorce, not to mention his challenging career. The sto...

Buy From Amazon.in Title:  You Will Love Again: A Guide to Healing from Heartbreak Author: Dr Shyam Bhat Genre: Non-Fiction, Self help Rating: 4/5 You Will Love Again is a self help book for those who, unfortunately, are dealing with heartbreak. The author is Dr Shyam Bhat, a psychiatrist, who has experienced heartbreaks in the past himself.  First things first. I love the title. It radiates so much optimism that any curious mind wouldn't hesitate to pick it up. The book begins with how people feel soon after their breakup or divorce. The author takes us through various situations (with examples) of how a human mind and body behaves or reacts to such depressing feelings. The hurt that follows can be crippling for some, even to the extent of going into depression, which is sadly so common these days. The book explains how to tackle issues related to breakups, like anger, forgiveness...

Title:  More Than Just Friends Author: Faraaz Kazi Genre: Fiction, Romance Rating: 4/5 More Than Just Friends is a book by Faraaz Kazi, best known for his debut novel- Truly Madly Deeply . Although this is my first time experience with the author, I've no doubt that his other books would be just as good as this one.  The book is about Preeti's life journey beginning from her childhood.

False Witness is a legal suspense, although not entirely John Grisham- ish . Let's get to the plot and I'll share my thoughts after.

Buy From Amazon.com Title:  Chalk Dust : Stories Author: Pedro Freire Costa Genre: Fiction, Short Stories File Size: 1777 KB Print Length: 107 pages Publisher: Editorial Bizancio Lda ASIN: B01HQ3JPZ4 Rating: 3.8/5 This is an e-book that I received from the author for a review. Chalk Dust: Stories  is a collection of seven short stories based in Portugal.  The stories describe the typical way of life of the Portuguese with great detail and effectiveness. They are set in different time periods and the focus is on how the slow, laid back life of the villagers can sometimes have an interesting turn of events, some sad and some fascinating. Particularly, stories namely The Private Life of Ilda Gomes , Loyal to the End , Chalk Dust and The Honour of Gamblers showcased a  fine combination of humor and sentiments. But the other stories were a tad too detailed and persistent for my liking.  Altogether , the book is a good read for most of th...

Krisco Genre: Fiction, Mystery, Crime Pages: 328 Publisher: Jaico Publishing House ISBN-13:  978-8184957099 Rating: 4/5 Few books have the power to transport you back to childhood. For me, any book with Sherlock Holmes in it, does the trick. I remember borrowing books from friends and reading them huddled in a corner of my bed. It was a perfect accompaniment to wintry nights. It still is. Sherlock Holmes: The Golden Years  is a collection of five stories or five cases if you will after our dear Holmes has retired from active crime solving. The book opens with the story The Bonnie Bag of Bones where in both Holmes and Watson, solve an old mystery up in the misty hills of Scotland.
