Books I Have Been Reading Recently (Part 8)

Twisted Love by Ana Huang

I am reading this book on Audible and I am going to complete it. The book has 44 Chapters and I am on Chapter 43. The book is about Ava and Alex who fall in love but their dark pasts get in the way. Both of them have deep childhood trauma that haunts them till today and when they finally meet they discover truths which had been buried for years. I am also liking the other characters in the book such as Ava's friends - Stella, Bridgette, Jules and Ava's brother - Josh, etc. I found some parts of the book to be predictable though and so I might end up giving this book a 3/5 stars, not sure though since I am rooting for the ending to surprise me.

Below Zero by Ali Hazelwood

I am reading this book in paperback and I actually am liking this novella more than its predecessors - 'Stuck with you' & 'Under One Roof'. I think I like this one more because the main character Hannah is so much more relatable and realistic. She is not this perfect, studious girl but she is someone who was not interested in studies initially but then really got interested in space and got a Phd. Now she is working at NASA and she hates the chief of engineering whom she had a one night stand with 4 years ago. In the end they will get together I guess. I think I will give this book a 4/5 stars once I finish it. I have about 40 pages left.

Batman Year One by Frank Miller

Technically I have finished reading this book, I have completed all the four parts, I am just yet to complete the tidbits which are there towards the end of the book which talk about the process of writing the book, sample initial drafts, etc. So the book itself is a comic or graphic novella. It has amazing illustrations and compelling text. The story is about how Batman started his vigilante journey, that is, how Bruce Wayne became Batman. The book has some great characters like James Gordon, Essen, Fallas, Dent, Barbara, Selena, etc. The plot was a little bit thinner than I would have liked and so I think I will give this book a 4/5 stars.

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...

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...

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 ...
