Hello everyone!
The month of July was really very good for me or you can say that it was one of the reading months for me this year. I manged to read eight diverse titles. I really liked that I read different genres in the month of July and not sticked to just one. I read not only Indian authors but I read quite a few foreign authors as well. So, here are the books that I read :
1. GIRL IN THE MIRROR by Cecelia Ahern
Girl In the Mirror comprises of two short stories which are quite different. I have read a lot of books by Cecelia Ahern and this one was quite different. The first story was basically unimaginable one. I was just thinking whether this can happen in reality or not. It was a dark story. While on the other hand, the other story The Memory Maker was not so interesting. It was confusing for me.
Overall, the book was an average read.
2. HERE FALLS THE SHADOW by Bhaskar Chattopadhyay
The plot line is very gripping and engaging with well developed characters. The writing style of the author is simple and clear. The book is full of twists and turns and I was not able to put down. Overall, it was an interesting read and I enjoyed reading it.
3. SURVIVORS by Anamika Mukherjee
Survivors by Anamika Mukherjee is such a different read about how the world is impacted by a nuclear accident. In a post-apocalyptic world, small settlements have formed on the outskirts of Delhi. Radiation has made the survival very difficult. The book took me on a ride with the survivors who were left in a New world in the aftermath and how they made their own alternate world. It is very gripping story of totally a different world where survivors are struggling for the basic necessities.
I really enjoyed reading this book because it made me realize a lot about the way we use the resources. Overall, a very engaging and fast paced read.
