Room

If you haven't read this book yet, please do soon! It's an easy read and was very popular last year.
This is a story told by a 5 yr old who is trapped inside a room. It's interesting to see life narrated by a 5 yr old and has its own twists and turn.

Emma Donaghue, the author is an excellent writer and this is her first book that I read.

Cutting for stone, Abraham verghese


A story about twins born to an Indian nun and a famous british Surgeon set in Addis Abba, Ethiopia. There is a lot of medical jargon here, but i enjoyed it a lot. Ethiopia always brings picture of starving, hungry looking children to me. But this book shows the beautiful side of Ethiopia.
So folks, get these 2 books and enjoy!

Shiva's Dancing

I love to read.... I wish i had more time, so I can read! I was gobsmacked by the public library services when I moved to the west 7 yrs ago. It's just unbelievable!
I am glad that my kids love to read too.
Anyways I thought I will share some of the books I read or reading. I would also welcome to hear from you all about your recent interesting reads!

Bharti Kirchner is an excellent author and I read tow of her books, Shiva's Dancing and Sharmila's book. i just couldn't put the book down.

Shiva's Dancing about an indain Girl who was abducted by bandits in a small village of rajsthan and how her life changed after that. She  was kidnapped on her childhood wedding day. She then meets her childhood husband 28 yrs later and finds her true love.

Sharmila's book is about an American Indian girl who is coming to India for an arranged marriage and is torn between 2 cultures.
I am so happy that I read these books and can't wait to try her latest book "Darjeeling".

Happy reading!
