Hi my loves!
I'm back with another review!

#FinancialFreedom by @dhiraj_taneja
Like the name suggests, Master the Money Game: Financial Freedom is a book on how to gain control of your finances. As a student, finance is a topic into which we may hardly delve into, and the management of finances for most of us may extend to just dealing with the pocket money. As such, I think it was the right time for me to have come across this book. Firstly, let me assure you that you do not have to be apprehensive about picking up the book, thinking that it may be too difficult and may go over your head. Believe me, I was apprehensive before I read the book because I really don’t know much about this topic, but I have to say without a doubt, this is a great and helpful read, especially so if you are pretty much a newbie like me.
💰
Now coming to the actual content, the author talks about various things – all of them important, but let me share a few which I think were relevant. His entire bit on the importance to be aware of one’s financial status hit me very hard. How many of us live by a budget or spent recklessly? In today’s world, it is so necessary to become self-reliant. As such the author’s conversational words relayed the meaning of financial freedom, how it can change one’s life, and how to get financial freedom!
💰
I think this was a great book that I picked up, and as a person who has started earning and has just entered her 20s, this is the perfect time to start working towards the goals. This was a very helpful book surely! I rate it 4/5!

Hey my loves! I have been so excited to share toda

Hey my loves!
I have been so excited to share today's post with you all, especially because I did a corresponding Youtube video for it. (If you haven't check it out, link is in the bio!)
And it's my second book review video but it was just very special to me. I really came at it from a Literature student's pov and I shope you enjoy the way I analyzed it!
.
The first impression I got from the book was that the author informs us simply of what has been happening, and what the characters feel. But then, I quickly realized that it was not indeed so – because along with the protagonists, the reader also introspects and philosophizes with them, essentially moving closer to the question of ‘normality’ in relation to human relationships.
As for the series, I think it is one of the best adaptations ever. It was just so visually stunning. I was in love with the cinematography, the actors, and the utter depth of emotions they portrayed so well.
💞
What I disliked about Normal People, the book:
1. I feel that perhaps the way in which the story has been written sheds Connell in a much more negative light than it does Marianne as if he deliberately and continually turns to hurt Marianne.
2. As for Marianne, I believe that the author could have let us know a bit more about her family life – to show why she is the way she is.
💞
As Rooney describes the scenes, the reader gets spectacular imagery as if a literary montage. I feel like the book solely relies on emotion and catharsis it can erupt in the reader.
I rated the book 3/5stars, and the series 4.5/5 stars!

💞💞💞 Happy Publication Day to #TheJaneAust

Happy Publication Day to #TheJaneAustenSociety by @authornataliejenner !
.
The Jane Austen Society like the name suggests, is about a group of really different people who are brought together for their love of Jane Austen, in Chawton, the final home of this famous and much loved author!
.
I'm more than halfway in and really enjoying the story. All the characters have so much depth and the way that Jenner has dipped into their personal lives and histories, as well as the way in which they are all brought together by shared emotions, is really beautiful. 👭👫👬
These people - a labourer, a young widow, a doctor, a movie star among others - could not be more different. As each of them endures their own quiet struggle with loss and trauma, some from the recent war, others from more distant tragedies, they rally together to create the Jane Austen Society.
.
And I think this picture couldn't have done justice if I had not placed my collection of the Jane Austen works. Ofcourse, from the 7 finished novels, I'm missing #LadySusan . I'm now hoping to soon do a readathon of all of the books - #PrideandPrejudice , #SenseandSensibility , #NorthangerAbbey , #Persuasion , #Emma and #MansfieldPark .
Do join me next month if you want to read these books!
.
Thank you so much to @librofm @macmillan.audio for this amazing book!

Hi my loves!
I'm back after a long time. I've been feeling so low! How are you guys doing? Do tell what you have been doing to keep the blues away!
.
Today, let me share with you a #mythologicalfiction based on the #mahabharata . It is about Subhadra, Krishna's sister and thus the book is aptly named KRISHNA'S SISTER! Thanks to @authorpriyanka for the book!
I rated it 4/5 stars!
.
Recent mythological fiction novels have become a popular source and stronghold for the feminist viewpoint, with the help of which, the female characters are given a chance to bring their stories to the forefront. We all know that the Mahabharata is full of a multitude of related stories, but often they are ignored so as to not confuse the reader. However, this was a great attempt by the author to share the story of Subhadra, a sister of a God, but also a warrior and an independent and strong woman, on her own terms, as well as a goddess herself, worshipped in the Jagannath temple at Puri.
♥️
The author has written the story in a fluid way – we see the elements of family brought in, along with the love shared among brothers and sisters, the romantic love and subsequent pining she finds with Arjuna, and her later strife as a woman in society. The narration was on point, because despite the fact that all of this happened in the epics, thousands of years ago, the reader cannot help but relate with Subhadra. I cried with her, her pain, and her sacrifices. And like her, I too questioned the ways in which women have to sacrifice so much.
♥️
Like all epics, the theme of destiny and fate is very powerful and prevalent here. Just like in the Greek dramas of West – of Sophocles, Homer, and Euripides – the inevitability of fate catching up to you, or the human strife (and further inevitable failure) to outrun it and escape it is very powerful in the Mahabharata as well. Especially if you consider the end of the Yadav clan but the fateful continuation of the Kuru clan with the help of Krishna’s intervention. (Check out the link in my bio for the full review!)

So I have been listening to the audiobook of #TheSecretHistory narrated by Donna Tartt and it is an utter experience in itself! I have always more or less lived a #darkacademia lifestyle but didn't know it was called as such until very recently. Here's a journal spread I made on my @menorah.in dotgrid journal inspired from one of the most quotes lines from this #modernclassic ! If you still haven't picked it up yet, you can definitely listen to it on AUDIBLE! Simple check out my video and click on the Audible like for your free trial!
