Back!

Hi, followers and blogosphere!
Been a long while since I put something up here, and I apologize. I've been busy with exams and projects and other stuff...finally free! (Not really, still have more exams coming...but only next month) I'm not ready to review yet- I did read Her Fearful Symmetry by Audrey Niffeneger, The Iron Thorn by Caitlin Kitteredge, 1222 by Anne Holt and a very unhealthy large dose of Stephen King but I'm not in a reviewing mood, and anyway, my already typed reviews are all on my phone, which is not working right now.
I'm sort of having an electronics crisis with all my electronic appliances dying around me. Thank you, new followers- for following me! Yayy!

Oh. I thought I'd make a list of things done during this interval so here they are:
1) Passed all my exams (except maybe Engineering Graphics, I have a doubt there) :0



2) Successfully went on a road trip across Kerala (my home state in India), saw countless amazing temples and was inspired to write by 
the pure beauty of the culture.
Vishu Kani
3) Celebrated Vishu- the Kerala New Year- with family, and loved every moment of it. (Vishu is so well-loved because every adult gives us some money on the day, and makes us rich by the end of the day)

4) Celebrated India's World Cup win with a party! :)

5) Bought a new rather fluffy but very cute hat.

6) Bought Audrey Niffeneger's Her Fearful Symmetry, read it and loved it!

7) Plotted my next novel and decided to get help for curing my irrational dislike for typing out stories on the keyboard.

8) Saw Santosh Sivan's masterpiece movie Urumi, and LOVED it!



9) Bust my phone. Wondering now if it's still possible to somehow fix my phone. 


10) Searched for  a really good fantasy read. Was not rewarded.

Tiger's Curse by Couleen Houck: Review

Image
    The last thing Kelsey Hayes thought she’d be doing this summer was trying to break a 300-year-old Indian curse. With a mysterious white tiger named Ren. Halfway around the world. The last thing Kelsey Hayes thought she’d be doing this summer was trying to break a 300-year-old Indian curse. With a mysterious white tiger named Ren. Halfway around the world. But that’s exactly what happened. Face-to-face with dark forces, spell- binding magic, and mystical worlds where nothing is what it seems, Kelsey risks everything to piece together an ancient prophecy that could break the curse forever. Tiger’s Curse is the exciting first volume in an epic fantasy-romance that will leave you breathless and yearning for more. “. . . a sweet romance and heart-pounding adventure. I found myself cheering, squealing, and biting my nails — all within a few pages. In short, Tiger’s Curse is magical." -Becca Fitzpatrick, New York Times bestselling author of Hush, Hush But that’s exactly wha

Follow Friday

Do we really need a preface? Anyway, Feature and Follow is by Paranjunkee and Alison Can Read and is all about blog love. Q: Best Cover? What is the best cover of a book that you’ve read and didn’t like? A: Oh, easy peasy. Masque of Red Death by Bethany Griffin. I loved the cover, but I didn't like the book. I couldn't connect with any of the characters, and finally just abandoned it somewhere near the end. I don't even want to know how it ended, or if there is a new book in the series. It wasn't sucky writing or a sucky plot, it just completely failed to make any kind of impact on me. What are your picks? Leave your links, let's share some follower love :)

Bookshelves, Bookshelves, oh my!

Image
So my shelves are all filled! With my little brother and I both buying books left and right, being gifted books, and showered with books from all sides (we are notorious bookworms, I think) our shelves are full. Believe me, this is no simple feat. We have four built-in glass-door wall shelves, two large metal shelves and a smaller wooden shelf in the Library, one blue cutesy shelf in my room and one in my brother's, and there is no place to keep the new books. They're sitting on the floor! (If I could find my camera, I'd photograph them for you!) So we need a new shelf. And while getting one seems unlikely right now (we've just bought a lot of other furniture) looking at glorious bookshelves can't hurt. Right? I would totally love this one. But more for CDs maybe?  So neat!  Yin- Yang. Aren't you gorgeous? squee!! Blue shelves! Gasp, more blue! Now, for the insanely awesome stuff:  Gasp! Can't be real. No way.
