Mindset by Dr Carol S. Dwek

I was so excited to read her book given that it was on my TBR list and that it was also my first fasrback book. I generally have huge respect for authors of non fiction books as they'd have to spend a considerable amount of effort conducting research and interviews before formulating their

Daugthers of the Sun and Moon by Lisa See

Lisa See came recommended by one of my follower and luck would have it that I saw it sitting on the featured shelf in the library! What are the odds of a newly released book by a popular author not being on the reservation list?! Anyways! I started reading it with no expectations and boy was I

The Myth of Normal by Gabor Mate

Gabor Mate is such a jem in this world and I wish that there are more humans like him. He approaches every matter surrounding illness, health and healing with so much depth, introspection and knowlege. He lays everything out without gender bias and he looks beyond a person's difficult circumsta

By retelling The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn from the perspective of the enslaved Jim—who renames himself James—Everett delivers a powerful and harrowing account of life under slavery. It's a story that fundamentally reframes a classic and left me deeply grateful we no longer live in that er

Things that Matter by Joshua Becker

Picked this up because it was featured by one of the bookfluencer. However, it felt like another Atomic Habits books with pretty basic tenents - e.g. Be less distracted, put less emphasis on money, possessions and applause etc. I just wasn't gleaning much value from it so DNF.

Toyko Ueno Station by Yu Miri

I am not sure if it is because it is a translated book or the storyline. I felt the story lack depth and quite dry. It is a story about a Japanese man observing the people who throng though the area near Ueno Station. There is no deep character plots and it was hard to connect. Rating:
