Love At First Write

I am happy and proud to see you doing that!"

Book Title - Echoes Of The Past: Untold Stories Resurfaced
Author - Paulomi Babre
Given thriller any day, I would not pick it up, the weak-hearted person I am. Thank you Paulomi and Priya for sending a copy, I did read the book, I am happy that I did not let it pass.

"The Mysterious Creepers of Pinewood and Other Stories" by Amita Samant is a collection of 5 stories that go well for adults equally, I would say. Because, as adults, we need to keep relearning things we learnt in our childhood, I firmly believe that!

As the title indicates, it talks about the death and loss of a family member. Author Sneha Sharma has chosen a subtle way of expressing and talking about a sensitive issue, especially with kids. The story is simple, lucid, and involves you easily. As characters are introduced one by one, the excitement is only added to the journey ahead.
