The Monogram Murders - Sophie Hannah

 I am on a roll with reading up murder mysteries... A very dear colleague gifted The Monogram Murders by Sophie Hannah to me and I am grateful to her for this. Every book tells us a story and I seem to have a story as well behind getting books😄 The Monogram Murders, series of Hercule Poirot books, which has characters created by Agatha Christie.  Starting with my view of the book, it is very well written and plotted. The minute details uncovered by the protagonist held my attention throughout which made me wonder who the murderer would be. The clues, characters, places reminded me of Sherlock Holmes but the uniqueness was maintained till the end I better not mention more of it to keep your curiosity lighted up. Do read the synopsis below to have an early glance. QUOTES: -"It is the job of art to replace unhappy true stories with happier inventions" Synopsis Hercule Poirot's quiet supper in a London coffee house is interrupted when a young woman confides to him that she i...

 Hope you are doing well  Today my blog is about a mystery novel, The Murder at the Vicarage by Agatha Christie . I am a fan of reading mystery novels, which is my favorite genre. Talking about this one, a murder mystery, it kept me hooked to the story and made me wonder every now and then about who the murderer might be?  A good read to begin with.

Miss Marple's keen powers of observation clear both of them of the crime, but other suspects abound. Do read and let us know your thoughts To receive updates on new blogs  Click Here

After You - Jojo Moyes

  After You by Jojo Moyes is the sequel of Me Before You. Me Before You was the first romantic novel I loved which lead to reading the second one. After You is sweet and a good read. It portrays that we can get through tough times with the right people beside us. The journey of Louisa Clark teaches us that no one is perfect and we all have our ups and downs but trying to get out of our fears and traumas is the most difficult to do. I guess trying is an achievement in itself which shows that we are taking a step forward. The book has different characters with different personalities. I wouldn't give any spoilers but it is a good read with many things to learn. The novel has emotions, comedy, suspense and more. Below are some of my favorite quotes from the book with the synopsis also given below: Synopsis: After You is a continuation of Louisa Clark's life after Will's death. It follows her journey of recovery after losing her beloved. Encouraged by Will to make her life mo...

In our first blog we shall take you through our journey of the novel Anxious People by Fredrik Backman A story about a journey or incident which changed and affected some lives. There were moments of laughing, sadness, happiness, shocked; in short it was a wholesome experience which left a smile on the face throughout and towards the end. The first thought that came to mind after reading the book was how is it so soft and funny at the same time. Mostly to keep a theme funny and light, jokes are made at the dispense of other characters. But here the mood was always kept light hearted without ever offending anybody.  We know describing a story soft doesn't say much about it but that's the first word that popped up into the mind. The way the characters are portrayed by the author and the way they stand up for each other pleases our kind side The story very subtly explains that nobody is perfect and mistakes and decisions are part of being human  Below are some of our favorite quo...
