The Lifecycle of the Common Octopus - I tried really hard to like this book but couldn’t. The story is weak, the characters are flat and the narration is slow. And the metaphorical connection between the title and the book just didn’t make sense.

I know there are no octopuses in this one but still excited to read.

Pick a Colour is a book to savour. It’s a simple story of a nail salon owner and her employees, each a shade of colour. Their clients add to the palette in this very enjoyable read.

I just finished reading the book and each page did feel like a hug.

It’s captivating, it’s bit psychotic, completely surreal and at times drags a bit but still holds your attention till the last page. We Love You, Bunny was a great read.

His marriage part was indeed well written. I did also like the initial chapters covering his teenage days. It set the tone of the whole book well.

Flesh was one of my favourite reads from this year’s Booker long list

I finished the epic of a novel-The Loneliness of Sonia and Sunny. As I closed the book, I couldn’t help but miss the days I spent with the story. The writing was so good it made me part of it.
