Discover Best novel of the year

Books open doors in our minds, allowing us to live an entire lifetime and travel the world without even leaving the comfort of our chairs.

When we read a book, we step into someone else’s shoes, see the world through someone else’s eyes, and visit places we might never otherwise go, whether a tiny village in India or the green fields of Narnia.

1. Milk teeth by Amrita Mahale

For a debut novel Amrita Mahale’s Milk Teeth comes across as a fairly decent read. Set in Mumbai, or rather I must say the world that was once Bombay, it weaves a simple tale of friendship and love. From the changing face of a city to the changes in gen next, the book captures more than just middle class aspirations. It pulls in the right emotions, oozing out excessive nostalgia of a society that once was. (Book review)

3.The 48 laws of power by Robert Greene

on the come up by Angie thomas book review

🌼BOOK REVIEW🌼 Rating: 5/5⭐️ . . QOTD: What was the last book you gave a 5 ⭐️ rating? . . Angie Thomas’s writing is a gift to readers. Is that dramatic? Indeed. But I loved The Hate U Give so much, so I’m being truly earnest when I say that On The Come Up, her sophomore book, was amazing! . 🌸SYNOPSIS🌸 Seventeen-year-old Bri wants to make it as one of the greatest rappers of all time. She doesn’t just want to- she has to if it means saving her family from homelessness and filling their fridge with food.

I felt Bri’s myriad of emotions as she struggled to do the right thing, even when she was admonished over and over again. Bri was a stubborn and hot-headed character, often making decisions that had even me, the most emphatic per...

the story: The story of Siddhartha, the future Gautama Buddha, leaving the palace to start his spiritual journey and attain enlightenment has been told innumerable times over the centuries. And yet, have we never wondered why his young wife, Yashodhara, still recovering from the birth of their son nine days ago, sleeps soundly as her husband, the over-protected prince departs, leaving behind his family and wealth and kingdom?

Savarkar by Vikram Samantha Book Review

Savarkar: Echoes from a Forgotten Past BooK story: As the intellectual fountainhead of the ideology of Hindutva, which is in political ascendancy in India today, Vinayak Damodar Savarkar is undoubtedly one of the most contentious political thinkers and leaders of the twentieth century. Accounts of his eventful and stormy life have oscillated from eulogizing hagiographies to disparaging demonization. The truth, as always, lies somewhere in between and has unfortunately never been brought to light. Savarkar and his ideology stood as one of the strongest and most virulent opponents of Gandhi, his pacifist philosophy and the Indian National Congress. An alleged atheist and a staunch rationalist who opposed orthodox Hindu beliefs, encouraged inter-caste marriage and dining, and dismissed cow worship as mere superstition, Savarkar was, arguably, the most vocal political voice for the Hindu community through the entire course of India's freedom struggle. From the heady days of...
