The Rest Of My Life

By -
There is something in a love story, which seems next to impossible, but keeps you wanting to know more. This is one book which I will remember for the rest of my life.

The story is about a damsel in distress and her so-called knight in shining armour. Both have a not-so-glorious past and are confused about the future. Do I sound confused? Well, some love stories are complicated and this book falls under this category. However, let me assure you there is a happy ending.

Sheryl has a flair for imageries. Her descriptions are vivid and language is simple. The book has a generous dose of adult content but majority of it are in minimal dosage with relevance to the story. A few elaborations could have been avoided, but then, that is my perception. A writer, however, knows best.

Protagonists are real. Insecurities, pain, heartbreak, joy, are all part and parcel of love stories. The way Sheryl has shaped up her characters is truly praiseworthy. She has ensured that this story has all the elements needed for a romance saga. The plot and characters can easily be replicated on the big screen, else, it deserves a mini tv series to its credit as well.

To sum up, this book is worth reading as it has all the elements of a love story. It is a story for all romantics who adore a happy ending.

P.S - I received a free copy in exchange of an honest opinion from Legitlit Books. Thank you Jennifer.

Nina's Memento Mori

Sometimes pain tends to get masked behind a sense of narcissism, especially when it involves your significant other. Nina's Memento Mori is a kind of self introspection that the author indulges in as he writes about himself remembering his wife. He focuses on himself as he narrates incidents revolving around his wife. This elegy is more of an autobiography as per me. Mathias does write straight from the heart. Some readers might find it hard to relate through the narration, however, those who have lost their spouses to death would very well understand the emotions underlying this piece of writing. There are breaks in the narration but these are like deliberate attempts to both break the monotony in writing as well as to portray the train of thoughts as they happened. The language is not simple but that is a trademark of a writer with vast amount of writing experience behind him. To say that Nina was his inspiration to write would be an understatement. In fact, she is exa

Every child is unique, a universal truth. However, the moment he or she is able to discover the magic within him or her, it becomes priceless. Unfortunately, the very need to be accepted by peer group might hamper the child's development. The plot revolves around Evie Everyday, a witch who has magical powers within her. But she prefers to change herself and hide her magic so that she is liked by her friends. But does this turn out to be in her favour? Well, to know that please read about Evie in this delightfully wonderful story. Elena Paige is a writer to look out for because she creates magic in this piece of her writing. The language used caters for the reading needs of 9 to 11 years old children. The writer also uses imageries extensively. These imageries are vivid and appealing. The only major issue I found as I read it out to my 6 year old was that the narrative was a bit jerky. There were breaks which could have been avoided. Despite the discontinuity, the story is
