Unholy Tales from Banaras | Anuj Tikku | Book Review
Unholy Tales from Banaras shows us a side of the city that often eludes a normal traveller. In addition to all its culturally rich experiences, the book lays bare its dark underbelly too. Expect a short read that shares multiple tales from the land of Banaras. Expect a book that is part fiction and part travel writing.

The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo | Taylor Jenkins Reid | Book Review
The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo is packed with entertainment. The fast pace and high-flying scandals give the readers enough juice to stay entertained. That being said, to discount the book as a simple entertainer would be unjust. The layers, the mysteries, and the nuanced characters go a long way to give this book a subtle literary vibe.
A Dual Dragoned Throne | Arya Rajam | Book Review
For someone who loves the allure of fantasy universes more than anything in the world, the book does have something to offer. Dynamic and larger-than-life characters trapped in dangerous and often life-threatening adventures set against the background of a possible good vs evil apocalypse is something that surely promises a decent dose of entertainment.
The God Who Loved Motorbikes | Murali K Menon | Book Review
The God Who Loved Motorbikes is not just a book. It is a feeling; it is a journey in itself that is so wondrous and yet sometimes so incongruous. It is a battle fought in tandem with a never-ending quest for an elusive god – not the god who loved motorbikes but the god of all motorbikes.
Because Its Love | Kishore Nanda | Book Review
Because It’s Love is a bag of mixed emotions. The story is pretty elaborate and detailed. The message and the underlying moral lessons are also appreciated but the writing fails to rise up to the plot. Its written in a style that is often shaky, hasty and monotonous.
The Green Room | Nag Mani | Book Review
The Green Room is a pretty decent book for somebody looking for mild horror. Set in a centuries old boarding school of Nainital, the book certainly gets the backdrop right. After all, there is something hauntingly beautiful about the lonely forests and the desolate roads of Himalayan towns.
No Trespassing | Brinda S. Narayan | Book Review
No Trespassing is a book that only comes once in a while. With such an intriguing theme, a decent array of characters, some nail-biting and toe-curling narratives, a befitting climax and suspense laced writing – it is a really good book; one that I would certainly recommend to all my readers.
Koi Good News? | Zarreen Khan | Book Review
Koi Good News? is a book that makes you laugh and laugh without inhibitions. With some very witty writing, a generous dose of local Punjabi influence, an informal language, relatable characters and an effortless narrative – the book is a perfect way to pass a dull afternoon or a boring night.
The Lost Faith | Piyush Semwal | Book Review
The Lost Faith is more than just a story. It is a call for urgency; it is a call for action. By the means of a thrilling story, the author urges us to take note of and realize the drastic consequences of irresponsible tourism. In the process, he also sheds light on the importance of keeping our minds open and free from orthodoxy.
