From hundred

the target

Reading

need challenges too.
This is inspired from my slow reading speed off late but still the desire to read as much !

And now for some book reviews –
Urban Shots ( 29 urban tales by 13 writers)
+ Seperate sections of stories
+ Amazing narration of most stories
+ Fresh ideas and lovely execution
– Some of the stories do not match up but that’s not a let down
Rating : 4.5/5
The Treasured One [dreamers book # 2]
(byDavid and Leigh Eddings)
+ considering the background information provided on each character, you dnt need to read book# 1
+ good plot , good narration and some really witty dialogues
– If the repetition of scenes is going to be there, am not too excited to read book # 3.
Ratings : 3.5 /5
Read on !! 🙂
