After ages, here is a book that I picked up and couldn't put down. Well, only when I absolutely have it. The theme is simple, friendship but the story is Incredible. About two girls and their growth into woman hood and the paths down which their choices lead them.

Kristen Hannah has surpassed herself with this one. The characters, the questions, the lives, the thought of each character take you on the journey of a life time. A true journey of self discovery.

I found myself posing questions to myself and wondering about my friends. I wonder if being with your family is truly lesser than having a career ? I wonder which of the two is truly important. Monetary benefits are always high up on the lists of most people, yet in the end we all live our lives searching for what makes us happy. As long as we are happy living life the way we want it, in the end do we have any regrets truly ?

Well, I hope someone else reads this and gets back to me on what questions their minds posed to them ...

An Amazing book. The story about a girl wanting to live her life on her own terms , is totally moving but this is not a story just about the girl. It's a journey of self discovery made by each character and even by the reader. Many of the times, we don't see what's right in front of us, or end up taking someone we love for granted or we just don't listen to what's being said to us. These are just a few of the lessons I learnt. You might learn something else. This is a book one must Not miss !!

Just finished this today. An easy read about the life and times on a man, whose given one more day with the one person who cared for him the most. The person he took for granted every step of the way. It's a good book, with a lot of insights into our day to day lives and how we do the same at times, though I can somehow relate more to the mother than him. I just don't know why people find it so easy to give up on themselves, their lives and everything around them when there are so many others who have so much lesser. Sigh !! But worth a read on those cozy days when you want to feel something as you read. Wouldn't call it memorable but it has it's moments ...

Now the proud owner of my all time favorites -

Another book whose twists and turns are like no other. I personally feel that the first book in which Robert Langdon is introduced is far better than the much acclaimed Da Vinci Code in the manner that it's more in depth. Ofcourse, the two are very different conceptually and that is debatable on many levels.

I wouldn't like to tell you what it's about for the book is a journey I would prefer you taking blind. :D

I just love this book for the quick wit and smartness of each of the charachter involved. The court room drama, the plot of good versus evil, the ploys used by both the defendent and plaintiffs' lawyers are totally unique and unsurpassed. John Grisham's imagination takes a wild turns as we feel like a fly on the wall of the drama that takes place. The book is essentially about ae plaintiff, Celeste Wood who goes up against a large, fictional tobacco company on the grounds that her husband's premature death was because of the company's cigarettes...

What happens as the Jury deliberates during and after the trial is what one has to look out for. The motives of each jury member and the subsequent result still leave me whooping me joy whenever I read this yarn !!

Also, read " He's Just Not That Into You " at Barnes and Noble. Made for some light reading and it was so to the point, that it was hilarious. I wish I'd read that book back when, but no worries. I just enjoyed the read !!! I encourage Every single girl to do yourself a favor and read this book !!!!! Will blog about it on my Musings soon.
