This book is all about how she’s trying to cope and live her life. I really enjoyed reading this book, it was a quick read for me. The story was really heartwarming. To a point, I could relate to Cath and that made my reading experience better. I really loved the bitter-sweet relationship between Cath and Wren, also I loved the relationshi...

                                               The Night Circus is about a mysterious circus. Why is it mysterious? Because this circus arrives at a place unannounced and departs announced, one day it's there and the next day it's not. Also, another fact about this circus is that opens at dusk and closes at dawn. The circus has various tents for different acts such as illusionists, fortune-tellers, acrobats, contortionists, etc. But the catch is that this circus is the venue for a magical duel between two magicians Celia and Marco, who are just put into this duel without any choice of their own, without any knowledge of the game rules.  The first half of the book was more of world-building, I wouldn't say that I didn't enjoy that, but I really liked the second half better. My overall experience was really good with the book. I really loved the writing style, Erin ...

Hence, she prays earnestly and a Dark God answers her, and grants her wish, but the twist is that she is immortal and no one will remember Addie, she can't leave a mark of her own. For 300 years, she finds loopholes in her curse and survives. But now out of nowhere a boy named Henry remembers her, and she doesn't know how. I'd a experience of ups and downs with this book. I faced a little difficulty to get into the writing style of V E Schwab, but then I got used to it. In the beginning of the book I thought that I would give it 5 stars, then in the middle of the book I thought that I would give it 2 stars and in the end I gave it 4 stars. The ups and down I had was because of Henry, I found it really difficult to like him, but in the end I liked him. To be honest I really liked the Dark God more...

  Stars : 2/5 This book is about a girl named Jane Eyre, who loses her father and mother at a very young age. Hence she lives as an orphan at her aunts house, where her aunt and her cousins ill-treats her. At the age of 10 she is sent to Lowood School, which is a boarding school. After spending 8 years of her life in that school, she wants more from her life than just being confined in the walls of the school, so she advertises for a job. Soon she becomes a governess of a child named Adele in Thornfield Hall. And her life starts taking a different path. I've never been so confused about my feeling on a book. I wasn't sure that whether I liked this book or disliked it. And I guess that I'm somewhere in between. This book being Classic, it was really hard for me to get into it, because they are definitely not my cup of tea. But to be honest there are parts where I really enjoyed, but still this book didn't live upto my expectations.

Stars : 5/5 This book is about a 13-year-old girl named Emily Poe, who gets a one time opportunity to attend the elite Audyn School. But for that she has to pass a 'not so normal' scholarship test. Only she and another girl named Alice passes the scholarship exam. Soon she becomes close to Alice, but there are lot of mysteries about Alice that she still doesn't know about. But suddenly like a wave, everything comes to light and everything is swept away from her. This a tween book, though people from any age group can read it. It's a feel good book. The sound effects that the audiobook had was just amazing. The only thing that bothered me was the age of the characters, all of them were thirteen, and it's really hard to believe that thirteen year old kids could do this. Otherwise, I thoroughly enjoyed the book.

Stars : 2/5 'The Hate U Give' is about Starr Carter who witnesses her childhood friend Kahlil being murdered by a white cop. Her voice may bring justice to her young friend, but along with many other consequences. Now It's upto her to speak out or keep mum.   I know that this book is a popular book. And I understand why people like it. But I didn't like it. Just hear me out. For me, the first impression on a book is based on it's language or writing style. And I don't like people using cuss words in it. So my first impression on this book was 'thumbs down'. I tried to ignore it and read it because it's a 'popular' book. And I was kind-off fine in the start. But at the final parts of the book, I just couldn't agree to many things in it. I know this book is very much relative in the present times, and I tried to like it, but I never could make myself care for the characters. To be honest, I really liked the plot. But what to do, when am a c...

Stars : 5/5  16-year old Theresa Gray (Tessa as she's called) comes to London from New York in reply to her brother, Nathaniel Gray's letter. The moment she steps out of the port, two warlock sisters collectively known as the 'Dark Sisters' kidnaps her. They train her to bring out the hidden power in her and use it, so that they can give her to a mysterious man who is referred as 'The Magister'. Eventually a shadowhunter saves her from there. And from then on the mysteries of the Shadow World unwinds in front of her. I read it and I just don't know what to say. It's a phenomenal book. The writing is super good. I've already started reading 'Clockwork Prince'. After reading the five books in The Mortal Instruments Series and the Clockwork Angel, Cassandra Clare has easily made her way in my all time favorite authors list. Give me any book she has written and I'm definitely gonna devour it.
