When Blessings Come: Life Becomes Beautiful by Ranjit Arora My rating: 3 of 5 stars Blurb - Blessings are a wonderful gift from the Almighty which come when you pray with a true heart. This book unravels those moments when such blessings are received and life takes a pleasant turn, resulting in everything falling in place.

WALK OUT OF YOUR HEAD: HOW TO KNOCKOUT OVERTHINKING AND DE-CLUTTER THE MIND by HAQIQAT ALI My rating: 4 of 5 stars Blurb - Let me tell you a thing!  You can stick to alkaline water.  You can hit the gym six days a week, for years.  You can stick to all the veganism in the world.  You can calculate nutrients intake and take supplements for your body.  But if you don't take care of the chaos going on in your head, you are still unhealthy!  You may be the smartest living animal,< but if you overthink, you will get your mind cluttered.  And if you do not de-clutter it, you will start living in your head, contemplate your thoughts over and over again, and take no decisions, no action!  Don't do that, be the smartest animal...  My views - Walk Out of Your Head by Haqiqat Ali is a non-fiction completely speaking about overthinking and things we fill in our heads which most of the time would be unwanted or non necessary things. The narrative was excellent in

Review: I am a home to butterflies

I am a home to butterflies by J. Alchem My rating: 3 of 5 stars Blurb - A captain sinks with his ship then why cannot a lover? This collection of poetry is all about you and me, but I am afraid it will no longer be about 'you and me' once a reader picks it up. It will then be about them only. It will be all about the one they loved like thunder, about the one they struggled hard to keep, about the one who had left them in the middle of their 'forever', about their world shattering into pieces, about them gluing together every piece, and about them falling in love one more time. And if you still think it is about you and me, you haven't loved someone like thunder, yet.   My views - I am home to butterflies by J.Alchem is a collection of poems, quotes and letters which is unique in author's own style. I had read author's previous works “Undelivered letters” and “The Highway Man” which was absolutely wonderful because of that I had a hu
