Book Review: The Parable of The Pipeline
I researched the author, Mr. Burke Hedges, I made him a network of dealers, Burke has seven books, he travels the world promoting his books and products, everything he does with him, he is his salesman to me. He’s not your writing genius like Keigo Higashimo or Robin Sharma, who produces and eats books; keeps books short and simple. Burke has seven books that have sold more than four million copies in 20 countries around the world. The author is well-known, has a worldwide impact on the industry and his successful books have reached 4 million people in more than 20 countries.

Book Review: Muna Madan
Stirr says Muna Madan connects Devkota's world to the world of Nepal's common people of different races and ethnicities by combining folk songs, popular and non-sexist poems, pure spirit, Sanskrit beauty, and Hindu beauty and Hindu morality. . If Devkota continues to produce the most important epic works in literature (Shakuntala, Sulochana, Maharana Pratap), this could be his most popular poem. The poem is not in the context of dialogue but begins with Madan announcing his decision to go to Lhasa (Tibet) in search of the joy of taking good care of his elderly wife and mother.

In Case You Were Wondering...The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon
If you think this book has an interesting title, it's because it's quite an interesting book. I recommended this book when you are in a reading slump because not only is The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time a pretty quick read, but it switches up the format you are used to when picking up a novel (even by looking at how the chapters are numbered you will understand what I mean). It is so engaging that I devoured the 274 pages in just one sitting. If you are trying to get back into reading, I would highly recommend this be a first pick to help you do so.

Why Alexander Proud says London isn’t what it used to be
Imagine being 21 again “When I left University and went looking for excitement, culture, nightlife and beautiful young things, I chose London.” Alexander Proud says that back then he couldn’t imagine living anywhere else.

Mr. Know-It-All
Who is John Waters? The Prince of Puke? The Sultan of Sleaze? The Pope of Trash? I thought I knew the answer to that first question long before I read anything that he put between the covers of a hardback book. And yet, here I am, looking at a copy of “Mr. Know-It-All: The Tarnished Wisdom of a Filth Elder”, still baffled by the man and his work.

Murderbots And Humans
'The Secret Axe' was the title of the first story I ever wrote as a child. I was obsessed with all things secret as a kid. Secret series by Enid Blyton - Secret Island, Secret Seven - was my favourite growing up. What got me into reading was Alibaba and the forty thieves. I was in first or second grade, and my dad was reading that story to me. One night he was busy and could not read to me, but I could not wait, so I took the book and pieced enough words together to understand the story. And since then, there has been no stopping me. I read on the dining table. I read on the couch. I read on the bus. I was afraid to sleep in a room by myself, but I became fearless when I had a book to finish (because it meant I could read even after bedtime). Books have been my true friends throughout my life - summer holidays, when I was alone in the US, tough times during my MBA. Even now, I feel at home when I walk into a library because everybody there shares the love of books.

What I'm Reading: September
I have always been a voracious reader. Some of my favorite memories involve being read to and my mom taking me to the public library where I could get any book I wanted. I have continued being a book lover as an adult although I incorporate more audiobook versions now to multitask.

The Vanishing Half By Brit Bennett
(If you have not read this book, spoilers lie ahead.) These days I rarely find a book that I don’t love. Maybe it is from taking such a long gap from reading that my mind is just hungry for different stories. Over time, after reading so many stories, it becomes easier and easier to guess what might happen next because we have already read and seen so many different variations of the same story. This story was different. “The Vanishing Half” by Brit Bennett was constructed in such a way to give no clear view of who was the main character. At first, I thought it was going to be Desiree the older twin as she embarks on a quest to find her missing sister, towing her child, battling racism, and evading an abusive husband. Sounds like quite the quest, doesn’t it? However, we have likely already read many stories like this and so has the author, which is maybe why we didn’t follow Desiree on such a quest. At first, I was disappointed because I so much wanted those intense moments of her closing in on Stella, and those terrifying moments of her almost being caught herself by Sam, the husband. However, Desiree’s story is nothing like that. She was supposed to be the wild twin, the one who would never come back to Mallard. Instead, that’s exactly what she did. Mallard is where her story seemed to end, as she got stuck in the same poverty cycle of her upbringing. There is a certain beauty and painfulness behind that as well because she is a story like so many of us. All of us have dreams and hopes that we wish to fulfill. She took her shot and although she couldn’t see it through, she still tired. Which is the same story for many, so we all can relate a little bit to that.

The Hundredth Time Around
So I read this wonderful romance novel that I wanted to review and share with you. I usually read fantasy and general fiction but sometimes I come across a love story that, in my opinion, is even better than Cinderella. I want to warn you ahead of time that there is a twist at the end of the book but this review does not have any big spoilers. So please enjoy and maybe read the book as well after reading this article.
