๐ŸThis book is a collection of 20 short stories divided in 4 segments : แดแดœแด› แด๊œฐ แด›สœษช๊œฑ แดกแดส€สŸแด…, ษดแดแด› แด›แดแด ๊œฐแด€ส€ ษชษดแด›แด แด›สœแด‡ ๊œฐแดœแด›แดœส€แด‡, แด€สŸสŸ แด…แดแด‡๊œฑษด'แด› แด‡ษดแด… แดกแด‡สŸสŸ, สŸแดแด แด‡ แด„แดแดแด‡๊œฑ ษชษด แด€สŸสŸ สœแดœแด‡๊œฑ, all these stories have been selected and published in notable competitions and collections and comes with a significant twist as evident from the title. 
๐Ÿ’Œ

๐ŸThe first part แดแดœแด› แด๊œฐ แด›สœษช๊œฑ แดกแดส€สŸแด…;features paranormal stories that showcase the journey of lives that buzzed with incompleteness due to an untimely demise or cruel turn of fate. "Top of the world" is a story from this segment that deeply touched me.
๐Ÿ’Œ

๐ŸThe second part ษดแดแด› แด›แดแด ๊œฐแด€ส€ ษชษดแด›แด แด›สœแด‡ ๊œฐแดœแด›แดœส€แด‡; is a collection mainly focuses on dystopian and futuristic universe. The inclusion of sci-fi and fiction with very unique qnd thoughtful plotline was very intriguing to read.
๐Ÿ’Œ

๐ŸThe third part แด€สŸสŸ แด…แดแด‡๊œฑษด'แด› แด‡ษดแด… แดกแด‡สŸสŸ; especially focuses on the concept of love and loss and about the twisted play of fate and the misery that comes along that nobody could ever be prepared for.
๐Ÿ’Œ

๐ŸThe fourth part สŸแดแด แด‡ แด„แดแดแด‡๊œฑ ษชษด แด€สŸสŸ สœแดœแด‡๊œฑ; this part was my absolute favourite; I especially loved the story called 'consent' it showed love in its various aspects and beauty and how it could be found everywhere and from anyone.
๐Ÿ’Œ

๐ŸThe thing about reading this anthology of short stories is that we get the blend of varied genres in one book that takes us from one place to another aids in walking in the shoes of one character to other showcasing varied perspectives of their lives. I really enjoyed some of the stories others failed to offer me something new and felt like something I already read before and therefore failed to leave a mark on my mind. Some twists of this collection of twisted tales were very predictable for me. Overall I would recommend this book to beginners who want to have a taste of various genres and different types of stories at the same place. The concept behind each story was simple that can be easily grasped by anyone. Recommend to everyone specially the beginners who wish to try out short stories.

๐ŸŒธAt the start of my reading journey with this book, I was slightly apprehensive about the level of effort it might require to comprehend it. However, as I delved deeper into the text, I was pleasantly surprised by how effortlessly I was able to follow and understand the content. The book through its line reaches to the readers a fair share of hope, gloom and love that forms the cornerstone of human's heart; the writer's journey of love and marriage 
๐ŸŒป

๐ŸŒธThis book is a compilation if various verses and proses; In the verses it offers us 2ith poetry, triveni, ghazal etc whereas in the prose we have stories, travelogue, letter and memories. These poems are written in beautiful verses along with its variety of meters and stanzaic forms. The language is simple and would be great if you are a beginner in the respective genres.
๐ŸŒป

๐ŸŒธI loved some of the poems. This book is a quick read of 135 pages that can be completed in few sittings Though I admire the simplicity in the writing and the fact that the book offers us with writings in various styles; some poems felt very flat and needed development.Overall this book contains poems that are very relatable and soothing. Written in easy and simple words I would recommend this book to those who enjoy reading because it has something to offer to every reader.

The Snows of Nissa is the first installment of the Forgotten Kingdom Chronicles, which ends with a cliffhanger and I can't wait to read the rest of the series because this adult dark fantasy romance keeps its readers hooked till the end and leaves you wanting for me. The language was easy with lyrically beauty Right from the start the readers will be totally intrigued by the story.

The story revolves around Duna, a fierce soldier who had to choose this path when a war made her orphan and now she is the Kingdom's deadliest warrior. This book offers us a character driven story where the main focus is the budding relationship between Duna and the legendary General. I love reading about their dynamics, the tension, feelings, romance and the spice everything was given to the readers in a perfect blend. I was totally captivated by the story from the beginning and world that the author created was as mesmerizing as the beautiful portrayal of the emotional chaos.

She's the Kingdom’s deadliest warrior—and the one temptation he must resist.
For years she's been her own master, making herself into an impenetrable wall to keep the Kingdom safe. With her heart locked away, she's determined that nothing stands in her way. Not even the ruthless commander with the face of a god.

Her body was made for sin, and he wants to be her damnation.
He's the legendary General, a lethal weapon wielding the mortal armies of Tyros. No one dares to challenge him. Until she comes along, a woman as fierce as she is beautiful—and very forbidden. He's betrothed to another, the daughter of a mighty ruler and a woman that can ruin his life. He knows he should stay away, so why can't he stop thinking about her?

When the princess of an empire is kidnapped, they are forced together on a rescue mission. Tensions run high, limits are tested, and lines are blurred as an ancient secret unravels right before their very eyes, one with the power to bring down entire nations and change Fate itself.
Who will be the first to fall?

//BOOK REVIEW//

๐ŸŒบThis book is the first installment of the Trivikrama Series by Abhilash Mishra that narrates the story of the fearsome warrior tribe of Vasus who predates the war of Kurukshetra or the Yadava Kingdom, and reigns over a part of the land of Ancient Bharatvarsha with a perfect blend of history, mythology, an action packed read that keeps the readers hooked from the very first page
๐ŸŒท

๐ŸŒบBut the Vasus faces a foe in the form of Drought and Famine that engulfed their whole Kingdom into absolute misery, therefore in order to secure a future for their people, their valiant king, Dyaus, calls upon his sons Vaayu, Sakra, and Narain along with their tutor Brihaspati, to embark on a perilous quest in search of salvation. With their homeland on the brink of destruction and their hope being their maternal grandfather, the governor of Kalibangan dealing with grievous problems of his own kingdom Will the land of Vasus be saved from the cliff of destruction? Hope on to this beautiful journey that enfolds between the pages to know 
๐ŸŒท

๐ŸŒบThe writing style is lyrically beautiful and has a proper blend of richness. The plot and the characters are well developed, I was totally engrossed to it till the end skipping my night's sleep. Though the book is mild paced and has an easy flow, the narration has its own depths and requires concentration to be able to properly get engrossed in the story. The plots are described in such a manner that we can vividly imagine them and feel like travelling with the characters in this quest and with the adversaries they face along the way

๐ŸนRoom for Improvement is the first installment of the Royal Resort Series that can be read as a standalone book. A sweet and fluffy rom-com that felt like a light breeze of rejuvenation in between heavy reads. This book gives us a cute, simple and beautifully written love story that is also embedded with love, humour and sometimes miscommunications too
✈️

๐ŸนBryce Royal our male protagonist has been summoned urgently to land in NYC from Europe the reason of which was later revealed that their new Project Royal Resorts Platinum in Laguna Beach hasn't been doing well and received many bad reviews and ratings therefore he was assigned to invigilate over the issue there.
Vivian Holte is a strong, determined woman who is also unlucky in love and our female protagonist. She works as a luxury hotel and resort reviewer and currently being assigned to review Bryce's Royal Resort, that same one!
✈️

๐ŸนBut this brand new luxury resort of our billionaire playboy hero situated in California receives a bad review from a leading travel magazine, the CEO Bryce Royal decides to take a little revenge which I find kinda silly and funny but his grovelling makes up for it. This book is a lovers to enemies to lovers and everything that happens in between. Be warned this is a wicked and super steamy book.
✈️

๐ŸนOverall this book was an enjoyable contemporary rom-com book. The narrative was lucid with easy usage of language which also makes it beginner friendly. Nicely plotted mild paced story. Though the romance felt a little rushed and would have really loved to see more of their bonding and relationship. I enjoyed reading about the funny and witty banters of the characters and how two of them find themselves tangled in situations and drawn towards eachother and it's an enemies to lovers my favourite trope so what's not to enjoy! Overall this book was an easy, simple and refreshing summer vacation read perfect to be paired with a mint chocolate icecream on a summer afternoon
