And So It Begins

After wandering around other personal & book review blog sites, I’ve decided to start my own personal blog. This blog is where I post my thoughts about life, books, movies and other things. Simply I am planning to babble on about things that I am interested.

I like to call myself as a bookworm, since the most favorite thing in my life is reading, I am really addict to it and now it is a habit. Books bring me into another world and let me live through it and be someone else. I read almost anything, but in the past 2-3 years, I’ve really gotten into fantasy, paranormal romance, YA, adult fictions and historical fictions. Recently I really enjoyed reading few chick-lit books.

I like writing too but do not have a true talent to do it and I always struggle with words. So apart from reading my next favorite thing is movies. I mostly enjoy fantasy, comedy, family, drama, sci-fi, and romance movies.
  
Aside from books and movies, the one thing I really love and always try to make time to do is dancing. I always wanted to be a dancer from the day I can remember, though I couldn’t become one.

So this is me and my blog. I’m not sure people will read this blog or not but if you stopped by this way I warmly welcome you!

The Amulet of Samarkand by Jonathan Stroud

  This is the best book I have read recently. The style is unique, the tone is witty, the characters are really entertaining and the plot kept me on the edge of my seat. I can't think of any other book that so cleverly tells the story as Stroud has done with this series. It’s written from the third person perspective for the young boy Nathaniel and the first person perspective for the superior Djinni, Bartimaeus. The footnotes that can be found in Bartimaeus chapters greatly enhance the story with humorous remarks. It may sound tedious to read a bit, jump to the bottom for the footnotes and then carry on back up top. But Stroud has done it masterfully and these footnotes add magic to the book. They actually bring out a whole new aspect to Bartimaeus' character. I’m not enamored with the protagonist, Nathaniel, but I actually really like that he isn’t a self-sacrificing noble boy. Instead he is a selfish, arrogant, and ambitious apprentice. It’s g...

Tiger's Curse by Colleen Houck

When I was at the international book fair few weeks back, I found this interesting book. I was attracted to the book because of the cover. I picked the book and read the back cover and it seemed interesting to me. So I bought this book Tiger’s Curse and the second book of the series Tiger’s Quest . I am glad I bought it.   I found it is very hard to put the book back once I started reading. I really love the plot, which blends Indian mythology with romance and adventure.  Houck surely has done a lot of research into the mythology and it reads well and feels so real. I always love to read about myths and this story with the actions and romance…. oh I really love it. First I didn’t much like the writing of the story. I thought it was very childish, but after reading few chapters and glued to the book, the writing style didn’t matter to me. But I felt like something missing, because Houck was telling the story rather than showing it.   The characters of the st...

Orphan Black – How Many of Us Are There?

When I found out about this new show, Orphan Black, it has already aired the first season. But I am glad that I got to enjoy the entire season without any interruption. It is hard to wait week after week to get answers for the questions and satisfy the curiosity, when watching a TV series like Orphan Black. Surprisingly I enjoyed this show more than any of the sci-fi TV series I have ever watched and I have never got bored for a second. Sarah Manning witnesses a woman, who looks like her (Beth), jump in front of a train while she was returning to States to reclaim her daughter. Sarah assumes her dead doppelganger’s identity and lands in the middle of a huge human cloning conspiracy. The story elaborates the ethical issues and impact of human cloning. One of the strongest elements of this show is its cast, to be more specific, the leading performer who portrays Sarah Manning and her other clones, Tatiana Maslany, is brilliant. She can disappear into a role so deep...
