Murder on the orient express by Agatha Christie

Murder on the orient express is one of most famous books by Agatha, though, over the period of time, it has got mixed reviews by readers, some define it as nothing new and some put it into one of the best murder mysteries category.

I overall found the book average as compared to other of Agatha's works, but if you are a new agatha reader, then it's just the right book for you, additionally it's a Hercule poirot mystery, which is always fun to read.

The mystery starts when a man is found murdered in the cabin of the orient express where poirot is also a passenger and a snow storm hits the train which makes it clear that the killer is present on the train.

If you are a fan of murder mysteries , then pick this one without any doubt :)

MY RATING-3/5

Revolution 2020 by Chetan Bhagat

Revolution 2020 is a perfect potrayal of Love, corruption and struggle. I used to read chetan bhagat at a very early stage when i started reading novels, not a fan of most of his novels, but Revolution 2020 had an impact on me.

The story revolves around 3 childhood friends , Gopal , Raghav and Aarti who struggle to find love and success , they reside in a small town of Varanasi, while reading , one can easily take feels of varanasi as a city, every minute detail about the city can be felt.

Love triangle and political corruption can be seen throughout the book,many a times i feel too much sad for Gopal who struggles a lot between his studies and his father.Raghav is too a bright student, but his thoughts about life are different than of Gopal, mostly leading to a rift between the two.Aarti however is a static character throughout the book who wants to be a flight attendent and to find one epic love, which eventually makes way for a love triangle between 3 of them.

Do read to experience different types of situation one can go through to finally live a life one desires💫

MY RATING-3.5/5

Who moved my cheese by Dr.Spencer Johnson

Who moved my cheese is a type of self help book.I don't read self help books much but i heard a lot about this and eventually decided to read this book.

I think this book adopts a  pretty amazing way of telling people that how to deal with changes in one's life, which indeed is an important phase.The book uses metaphors of two mice sniff and scurry and two people Hem and Haw.

I think everybody should read this book , when people go through difficulties dealing with change, they tend to go to depression , so do read this book to clear you mind.

Also, the book is short and simple , take atleast 2-3 hours from your schedule and discover life's simple truths by reading this self care book :)

MY RATING-4/5

A thousand splendid suns by Khaled Hosseini

A thousand splendid suns is a masterpiece by khaled hosseini .It is the only book of hosseini which i have read till now and i am already in love with his writing.

Story revolves around a 15 year old  Mariam , whose life is nothing but a living hell and on the top of that, she is sent to kabul to marry Rasheed who is almost her Father's age.

Life takes different terms as her story proceeds further , her friendship with a teenager holds quite a  significance. Battle for survival becomes hard when Taliban takes over!

Khaled has appropriately displayed the condition of women at that time in Afghanistan, where their every right is denied and there is no freedom to decide what's good or bad for them.It makes me sad to read the plight of girls being denied even the basic rights and  gender discrimination is quite visible throughout the whole story.

The story of Mariam will definitely have an emotional impact on you! 

Merry Christmas 🎄

Happy Reading📖

MY RATING-4.5/5

If tomorrow comes by Sidney Sheldon

If tomorrow comes is my first read of Sidney Sheldon .I quite liked the plot of the book and the way sheldon narrates the story.

So, the story revolves around Tracy Whitney , who's happy world suddenly turns upside down after a serious incident in her life.She never lived the same joyful and simple life after that.

She was framed by a ruthless mafia , ends up in jail and forced to live a life she never wanted.

Finally she decides to take revenge on them and play deadly games that takes her from new Orleans to london , paris , madrid ...

During that period she meets 2 men,one that is handsome and challenging and the other, who's only motive is Tracy's destruction.

This book basically shows the hardships and worst conditions faced by Tracy and her rising to avenge mafias.

Sometimes, the story becomes unnecessarily long.

MY RATING-3/5

Our story ends here by Sara Naveed

"Terrorists are not born to love"

Our story ends here is a gripping romantic tale by a pakistani writer Sara Naveed.This book clearly highlights the issue of terrorism and how it can affect innocent lives.

The story revoles around Sarmad, who is a ruthless terrorist and Mehar , who is a army general's daughter and how their paths cross together and they eventually fall in love!

Sarmad , being a terrorist ruin many lives, but do read to know what all happens after he falls for army personal's daughter.

The book do not encourage terrorism in any way and a must have for those who like reading romance filled with a lot of drama.
