Books I Have Been Reading Recently (Part 7)

How to Lose a Guy Before Christmas by A. J Pine

This book is about a gal Lucy who is unable to go home for Christmas because her flight is cancelled due to a blizzard. She somehow gets a ride through a rideshare app and is excited that she gets to go home for Christmas. She expects that her partner on this road trip would be a stranger but to her surprise it is a guy whom she ghosted a few months ago. She is obviously now wanting this trip to be over soon but it is a long ride made even longer by the snowstorm. The story is about how they reconnect I guess? I don't know much about the book since I just read the blurb and the prologue. I am excited for it though since it is a Christmassy book and it has some good reviews on Goodreads. I am listening to it on Audible. 

The Black Pages by Nnedi Okorafor

I am reading this book through Kindle and this is the second book in the Black Stars Amazon Original Stories series. The book is about a guy who returns to his hometown but finds that there is a problem going on, people being killed and books being hidden. He also starts seeing unusual things like how his friends and he had seen when they were younger. I have read only up until this point but I am liking the book so far, seems to be a great read like the first book in the series. The first book in the series is written by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and the story has gender role reversal, it was a very interesting book.

Restaurants That I Ate At Recently (Part 5)

That Waffle Place I have ordered from here before through online delivery platforms but recently I went and ate at their shop for the first time. They have quite a few branches I think. We went to the one in Alwarpet. We ordered their Frozen Hot Chocolate and Belgian Biscoff Waffle. I did not taste the frozen hot chocolate but the biscoff waffle was good although it would have been better if they added biscoff biscuit crumbles along with the biscoff spread. The place also had some games like jenga which kept us entertained. Overall, I would rate the place a 4/5 stars. Maison Indulgence We went to this place recently due to the Instagram hype that it has. But unfortunately, for us, it did not live up to the hype. We felt that all the items were overpriced. We ordered the Basque cheesecake and did not like it all. Ambience was okay-ish, too noisy. I would rate this place 1/5 stars. This place is also situated in Alwarpet. Mexe Another place which is in Alwarpet - Mexe. We ordered their c...

Books I Have Been Reading Recently (Part 10)

That Night by Nidhi Upadhyay I'm reading this book in a paperback format and have completed around 50 pages. The book is about four friends who played a game of Ouija while at college and a girl of their hostel died. Twenty years later someone is trying to mess with them even though they live in different parts of the world. Intriguing premise. And interesting writing style so far. I think I might like this book, let's see. The book is around 300 pages long. The Spanish Love Deception by Elena Armas This book is about Lina and Aaron Blackford - two colleagues who initially seemingly hate each other but somehow end up becoming each other's fake dates to some major events. I've read like 150 pages of this book so far and am finding it repetitive and boring as of now. Let's see how it goes. I might rate the book a 2/5 stars if the writing does not improve as the book progresses. Or if it improves, I might rate it 3/5 stars or 4/5 stars, let's see. Until now, the pa...

Five Most Patriotic Movies on Amazon Prime Video India Right Now

Raazi This movie was a solid 4.5/5 stars in my opinion. What I liked the most about this movie is that it portrays a young girl who spies for her country against all odds. The movie is based on a true story and it shed light on the unsung heroes of Indian history. The main character Sehmat left college, married and lived in Pakistan, so that she could gain intel about the upcoming war. The intel gathered by her and other spies helped India to get prepared for the Indo-Pakistan war of 1971 and the Ghazi attack. The movie is based on a book called "Calling Sehmat." Alia Bhatt plays the role of the lead actress and she was able to represent what the real Sehmat would have felt like - scared, brave, patriotic, loving, dangerous, caring, human, selfless and a thousand more indescribable emotions. Other important characters in the movie were Sehmat's husband, her parents, her father-in-law. her brother-in-law, her brother-in-law's wife, a servant who worked in Sehmat's ...
