Eleanor & Park 

                                By Rainbow Rowell

Every one has a different definition for romance. Apparently back in 1986 romance was not so cheezy as we know it now...

My Reviews(spoiler_free)......

Eleanor is the newbie in the school.Park is the Asian kid who wants nothing more than to be ignored.When Eleanor walks into the bus wearing men clothes looking weird as hell everyone makes fun of her but Park taking pity on her allows her to sit beside him.We follow this story in dual POV.

Eleanor:She has come back home after being kicked out by her stepfather last year.With 5 siblings she has never enough for herself.Living this miserable life Eleanor doesn't wants to let anyone in.Being slightly fat doesn't help her case instead just gives the bullies another point to mock her.

Park:Park is a nerdy guy who loves reading comics and listening to music.He wants nothing more than to be ignored and left alone by the bullies.He also thinks that he is a huge disappointment to his father as he can not drive a stick.

We follow the story of Eleanor and Park as they fight their own demons and as these two completely different people fall in love.This a beautiful story of first love where you have everything and nothing to lose.

CATCHING FIRE(THG#2)
                                      By Suzanne Collins

My favorite book in the trilogy,Catching Fire,is the second book in The Hunger Games Trilogy.Usually the second books in a series are not so great,usually.But as you might have guessed when I told its my favorite among the three,it is equally awesome if not better.

A little recap of the story till now........
Katniss Everdeen is responsible to feed her family.This burden fell on her shoulders at a young age of 12 when her father died in a mining accident.She enters into the forbiddened forests,violating many of the Capitol's rule which could lead to her immediate execution.Its the day of choosing tributes for the hunger games.As Effi Trinket pulls out her beloved little sister's name from the girl tribute slot,the world crumbles around Katniss. She immediately volunteers for her sister to save her. Also ,she promises to win this game for her sister.
But it is not so easy.She has to act like a different person.Also she has stumbled across her so called "star-cross-lover" Peeta Mellark........
What damage will it cause on her soul?Will she survive this?Will she be able to keep her promise?With everyone brutally murdering each other her bow and arrow are her only faithful companions.......

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT...........
Katniss has defied the Capitol and its wretched rules.She not only saved her life but also of Peeta's.But now she must pay.For daring to defy President Snow.For becoming a symbol for the people.For inspiring them to rebel.Giving them hope that yes they can stand against Snow.With her every move monitored it appears that she not the only one who will pay.District 12 is reliving its past under cruel peacekeepers who are pouncing on the inhabitants like hunger predators.
Also her love life is in crises.As she realizes that she will have to marry Peeta against her will and make a spectacle of it too.
Will Snow manage to break her apart completely?Will she be able to save her loved ones?Will she survive it?

THE MOVIE!!!!
The movie was amazing.The costumes that Katniss(JLaw)
wore were mind blowing.And don't even get me started about Finnick Odair!!!I'll tell you why.....
FINNICK ODAIR
Oh.My.God!!!
Okay and for the most important part,they stuck to the book completely.So it was fantastic.Watch it.


Why should you read this book?
*love 
*action and adventure
*mystery
*love triangle
*inspiring
*mind blowing
*amazing
*sacrifice
and has everything that a perfect book needs.
Just READ and you won't regret it.

                      FANGIRL.......

                                      By Rainbow Rowell

If you are thinking after reading this title that is it about a fangirl,then my friend you are right in thinking so.And it is not mainly about a fangirl fangirling though that's in the background.This is amazing fiction novel which I recommend to anybody who reads books.

My Reviews........(spoiler_free)
Cather is a freshmen in collage.Lately she is being pushed around by her twin Wren to do things she doesn't want to,one being leaving their father alone and moving out.Her room mate is a dick and her life is spiraling down.Scared of social interactions Cath  hides in her room most of the time with protein bars as her main sustenance.The only thing that keeps her going is her fanfiction. Apparently our socially awkward Cath is quite famous on social media.Also their is this sweet guy Levi who is always willing to help her and is the one whom Cather has a huge crush on.But he is also her roommate's boyfriend.
With the pressure of her fans to complete her Simon Snow fanfiction,her sister treating her like a piece of dirt,horrors of her past revisiting and this unresistable guy around her life is one hell of a mess........

My Experience.....
Oh My God.This book has been one of my best read this year.This book was so amazing that I read straight through the day and finished it and believe me that's a rare occurrence for me.This book signifies one thing that I have experienced myself,that is,when their is no one else there for you their are always books.

Why should you read it?
*completely relateable 
*romance
*close to reality
*amazing
*constant feeling of what is going to happen next
and in the end i'd like to answer this question by asking,why shouldn't you read it?

It is a book for all fangirls and fanboys and is totally worth any readers time.Just READ IT and believe me you won't regret it.

HOW TO GET OUT OF READING SLUMPS?#readersprobs


                                   &
 ADVANTAGES OF READING CONTEMPORARY NOVELS...........

One solution to all these questions.
Their are brief periods when us readers don't feel like reading anything period.In readers world this disease has a name.Reading Slump.Don't worry if you are suffering from it cause i got a perfect solution to cure this.

How to get out of a reading slump?

Usually we (readers) get reading slumps when we have been reading series of books one after other.What happens is our mind is too amazed and in awe of these series.It can't take any more of amazing!!!As a result we don't feel like reading.What to do then?
Answer:

  • Take a day or two off doing something other than reading like watching movie adaptations or listening to music or whatever you enjoy except reading
  • Then take a light contemporary novel like Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell,The Vampire Stalker by Alison van Diepen(don't judge by the name),How to fall in love by Cecilia Ahern etc.
  • These light hearted novel will rejuvenate you and will get you back on track
  • I also suggest you continue reading light stuff before jumping into any intense exhilarating novels
  • If you want to start a series then try a Rick Riordan's book.He has  excellent sense of humor.I personally suggest Magnus Chase and the Sword of the Summer.
Or you could take a break for a while,Seriously anything that helps you.


But don't let reading become a burden on you!!!!!
