Hey guys , April is finally over. Summer isn’t even officially started , the temperature is basically boiling. And of course, exams has to be held in may and people get to suffer through afternoon session exams. Besides feeling like living in the sun , April was fine as summer can get.
Anyway,
Books Read
The Poppy war
Trigger warnings : Self – abuse , Abuse , Suicide , Rape , Genocide , Cruel happening of war , Animals dying , and especially Death.
Plus : Amazing chinese epic fantasy must read with shaman myths
Minus : Near perfect book and you might die because of the perfectness.
Yay you’re gay , Now what
🌟🌟🌟🌟
Genre : Non fic
Plus : Yay You’re gay gives an interesting overview and run ins about everything one might deal with while identifying or coming out to parents.
Minus: While many countries and many people are still homophobic , it promises more of a rainbow roses situation while its not.
Myths and Mortals (Numina trilogy)
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Plus : Great plot with even faster moving pace. No second book syndrome and even better that the first one.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
You will love it if you have loved dimple met rishi.

🌟🌟🌟

The Tiger At Midnight
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Plus : An Indian based epic fantasy with amazing slow burn romance.
Minus : Pace might not work for you if you don’t dig slow burns.
The Bookish Life of Nina Hill
Plus : Nina is a great read for everyone who’s looking for a good book for a warm evening or a beach read.
Minus : Slow pace might not work for you.
Aru Shah and the end of time
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Plus : Promising first book with great characters . Both the introduced and mythological characters were amazing.
