In a bit of a slump….
I know everyone probably goes through moments like these, but I’ve been so up and down in mood over the last few weeks that it’s been hard for me to focus on my blog. I’ve managed to keep the lethargy and unease at bay to get through work, but my blog has kind of taken a bit of a back seat. In the mood to read, but not so much in the mood to write and review. Before you go worrying about me, I’m used to this. Unfortunately it runs in my family and the best thing for me when…

Blog Tour: No Vacancies – Day 3
Well sadly it’s the final day of Lucien Black on my blog. Yes, I know, I’m saddened too. My library has his books on purchase request now because I harrassed them for not having them.

Enjoy, and make sure you go and read the rest as well. Castor recognized the accent as Middle Eastern; Iranian he suspected. Caster reached his right hand into his jacket slowly and placed…

Book Review: Some of the Whole
All the stories have a common thread – a mix of flash-back and current situations – the blend pushing up the curiosity level and finally finishing it with a twist that undoes all that the reader thinks while reading the initial parts of the story. Contemporary set-up (each of the stories are based in the modern, Indian metros), real-life kind of characters and situations keep the story in the realm of being REAL. Title: Some of the Whole by Abhijit Bhattacharya Publisher: Cedar Books Pages: Hardcover; 144 Source: Received from author for review. Why I chose this: I always like…
