Review Diaries (Something I Never Told You by Shravya Bhinder)

Name of the book - Something I Never Told You by Shravya Bhinder
Stars given - 5 on 5 stars.
My take on the book -
I have always believed that it's always better to ask questions, no matter how stupid it might seem or how silly you feel asking it you should always ask questions. I have always believed that and I stick to it. More often than not. Yeah I get into trouble and end up embarrassing myself at times but at least I know the truth. And that's what is more important for me. This book is something that I will remember for some time. You see I too had once written a letter to someone in high school and my then 'so-called' friend took it upon herself to make it all about herself. They didn't work out but so didn't my friendship with that boy. So I feel Ronnie's pain when his note to his crush gets appreciated but someone else takes credit for it all. It's not fair. But life gave them a second chance and all was hunky-dorry for sometime but then life again threw them a curve ball. So what happens next, do they end up being together? Does love win the day? Can love win the day?
Reas the book and get the answers cause I won't give any spoilers. *wink*wink*
The story is fast paced and there's not a single dull moment in the book. But there are times when you wanna go inside the book and talk some sense into the characters. All in all, me likey!
QOTD - Tea or Coffee, Ice-cream or soft drink, Demins or Sweats.

Review Diaries (The Heist Artist By Vish Dhamija)

Name of the book - The Heist Artist by Vish Dhamija

Stars given - Something that rhymes with beehive. That's 5 on 5.

My take on the book-

Do you like thrillers?

Do you like smart protagonists who make you like even after they are doing not so honest dealings?

Do you like it when an author takes not only the protagonist but also the reader on a roller-coaster ride?

If you said yes to all the above then you should definitely give this book a try. Actually I would suggest get it, pronto. This is the first book I am reading by the author and boy oh boy am I thankful to @writersmelon for this one.

Ps another reason for me liking this book as much as I did was cause the nickname the protagonist has. It's Captain and for those of you who don't know this my Dad's nickname is Captain but that's where their similarities end. Thank the lord!

So back to the book the author will make you run, hop, jump and what not throughout the book but guess what even with your lungs screaming out for help and your legs loaded up with lactic acid you will still wanna ask the author how fast to run or how many times to hop or how high to jump. Don't believe me? Try it out for yourself.

Note - Turns out the painting Poppy Flowers by Vincent van Gogh really did get stolen twice and it's current location is unknown.

QOTD - If given a chance to know any one secret and mind you when I say any I mean any secret, what will you ask if honest answer is promised to be given?

AOTD - I would wanna know where can I find a Vampire or may be if I could get a T-rex as a pet in the near future. My question will depend on my mood to be honest. 

Review Diaries (You can't draw my destiny by Manya Nigam)

Name of the book - You Can't Draw My Destiny by Manya Nigam
Stars given - 5 on 5 stars and a Atta girl!!!
My take on the book -
Read the title, what does it say!!! You can't make my destiny and guess what it gives you that in the form of a story that you will surely not forget any time soon.
This is a story of a girl, it's one of those every girl story that can happen to anybody. But that's what makes this story so incredible. That and the stories of friendship. We have seen way too much bad blood between girls both in and out of the fictional world, so when you see girls having each other's back you cheer like there's no tomorrow. The simplicity of the language and story made sure that the message came out loud and clear. And it's simple, if you want something go for it. Cause no one can stop you, they can try but in the end you will get your dream only you need to keep at it. It's the same if you get someone else does it for you then you will never get a chance to enjoy the victory.

Review Diaries (To Naddiyaa by Kavya Sharma)

Name of the book - To Naddiyaa by Kavya Sharma
Stars given- 5 on 5 stars.
My take on the book-
Do you have a heart? Does hearing something painful make you cry? Then you will cry when you read this book, cause I sure did. It's a very emotional read. Lots of missed out communications and silence and fear of not being heard or appreciated. There are 33 letters, letters that were written but not given voice to. Personally I believe that many problems can be avoided or solved and put to bed if we would just talk it out. We often don't do it cause we are afraid that we will be misunderstood or not heard as we think we want to be heard but I think we should take the chance.
QOTD - What's love for you? Is it selfless like dove you will help fly away after you fix it's broken wings or is your love like hogging the ring from lord of the ring, all my precious and mine only!!!

Review Diaries (The Hidden Children by Reshma K Barshikar)

QOTD - Who believes that books are magic?
AOTD - Meeeeeee.
And if you think the same you havta havta havta read this book. Like OMG! Gossip Girl meets Supernatural !
I adore the friendship that's portrayed in the book. They might call the 'plastics' of the book 'The Three Musketeers' but for me they were the iconic trio.
This 407 pages book would have been a daunting task and sorta impossible had this one not been as interesting as it is.
The book cover is beautiful and tells a story that you would love to read. This wonderful book will make you miss your friends and call them back. Trust me, I did too. The way things are described in the book makes you see it in your mind, visualize the entire thing. It's like watching a movie in your mind.
I really enjoyed it.

Review Diaries (Dharmendra by Rajiv Vijayakar)

Name of the book - Dharmendra by Rajiv Vijayakar
Stars- More than a five, cause I am still seeing stars so bright shining all around.
My take on the book -
My family is very filmy, I mean I am nicknamed after a Jaya Bachchan movie (Guddi). So you can imagine how exciting reading this book was.
I have adored the Dream Girl's He-Man cause of many of his roles. But hearing stuff about his personal life kinda made him more of a hu-man than some superheros who didn't seem to real.
But what made me even more happy was knowing the fact that he too dabbled in poetry.
QOTD - Given a chance which celebrity dead or alive would you like follow through out the day, with their permission and get to know them better?
AOTD - Me? That's gonna be one big list.

Review Diaries (The Panchatheertha by Rajiv Mittal)

Name of the book - The Panchatheertha Part 1 by Rajiv Mittal
Stars- 5 on 5 stars.
My take on the book -
This is the first time I have read a book by the author but a friend of mine is a fan. So I asked her if she wanted to buddy read and discuss the book after we are done. So later in the evening there's a knock on the door and here's my friend is standing there with a creepy looking smile. She glides into my house and gleefully declares that she has come to discuss the book. But even with my friend watching me read and asking every 3 minutes if I am done, I loved this book.
5 short stories, one cool satire filled book and a crazy friend perched on my head(not literally just felt like she was) this book charms like a dream. And the language, oh wow! Don't get me wrong I am all in for reading books that has simple English but this was for lack of a better word 'classy'. So if you like poking fun at people and sarcasm is your weapon of choice this one deserves to be on your reading list soon, like yesterday soon.
Ps I didn't like the cover much, but let's never again judge a book by its cover shall we.
QOTD - Does anyone understand your sarcasm?
AOTD - Only the ones I don't use it on ;)
