Started my personal blog naliniwrites.com where I have posted 2 blog posts. Taking time out on a weekday and publishing posts is very difficult when you have a full time job but I think over the weekend I will write posts and publish it on my blog. I am continuously receiving new ARCs and I will definitely won't let down anyone who have trusted me. Looking forward to this weekend. 👍

I have read Shiva by Devdutt Patnaik. This is my second read by Devdutt Patnaik. I read it for Indian Literature Readathon. This book talks about Shakti and its forms. What Shakti and Prakriti mean. The explanations are short and missing more details. This short read is just a quick reference to Shakti and nothing more than that.

The Great Indian Novel | Shashi Tharoor

I just came to know that a event started at midnight 7 July, Indian Literature Readathon by the time I am starting this book people have finished reading at least 2 books but I am joining in because my goal is to read and enjoy this readathon. So here is my first pick - The Great Indian Novel by Shashi Tharoor. He might be in jail right now but he writes really good books. I am a fan of his writing. #IndianLitReadathon #IndianLiteratureReadathon

Utopia | Thomas More

June. It was a great month. In this month, I finished reading 10 books. Now, I have to keep up with the bar I have set for myself. I started taking ARCs in exchange for honest review and I guess I am doing good. Feels great to learn so much in just 1 month. There are few genres that I will be trying from July, just to explore. I hope to set the bar higher this month. Cheers!

The Unity Game | Leonora Meriel

I received this book in Goodreads Giveaway. This book is captivating. I liked the story(ies) a lot. It kept me hooked till the end. There are, of course, a lot of things that could have been better but overall this book is great. There are 3 different stories. The suspense of how the 3 stories are going to converge at the end kept me completely engrossed. Finally, this book is available on Amazon India. http://amzn.to/2IMyksY
Verdict: Go for it.

Currently reading this book. Half way through and I found it very engrossing. Its a sci-fi pick. There are four stories going on in parallel. I am agog how story converges.

This book is a kind of a review document to various mentions of Shiva beginning from the Indus Valley Civilization to Upnishads. It describes a few stories about him from such texts and also mentions some oral lores. Its a very short read but answers a few popular questions about Shiva and his temples. Overall it is good compilation of various religious texts but many beautiful stories of Shiva are missed.

RaimeyGallant Sounds interesting. And welcome to Litsy! #LitsyWelcomeWagon Some of us put together Litsy tips to help new Littens navigate the site. It's the link in my bio on my page in case you need it. Or if you prefer how-to videos, @chelleo put some together at the link in her bio. @LitsyWelcomeWagon 6y
nalinisriv Hey thanks for the welcome post. Its really helpful. For days I was wondering how Litsy works. I searched but could not find anything worth. I deleted my fb account long time back, so I don't know if my friends are here on Litsy or not but I liked this platform. Thus, I started posting reviews of the books I am reading and Voila I found your post on how to use Litsy. 😊 6y
Chelleo @nalinisriv welcome! Glad to help! I‘m sure you‘ll enjoy it here! 6y

Overall Verdict : Go for it.
It's an amazing travelogue between two sisters. I found the concept really interesting. Its a must read. It leaves one sentient about Palestine in a remarkable way. There are some issues in places. I felt some broken links are their and somethings are omitted to keep the focus on what's going on in Palestine. Overall, it is great. The moment I started reading it, I could not put it down.

nalinisriv Got it as a review copy from NetGalley 6y

From woebegone to beautiful and then enlightening. A friend suggested me to read this book. I am grateful that I did. I highly recommend this book. This book gave me hope, explained the meaning of life, and over everything it taught me that even when the we think the decision is not in our hands we have the important decision of deciding how we react to circumstances. I am sure I will be re-reading this book.

A quick read with ornations. It was interesting but the movie was better. I felt if the book was a little longer the author could elaborate a lot of hanging thoughts it could have been better.

This book was very inspiring on what Musk is doing and how he got there but it is much clear that author Ashlee Vance reveres Musk. There is so much that Musk is going to achieve and I hope to read a better biography later in my life.
