Karina Bliss and Mary Balogh

Hey guys. Of late I have been bingeing on books by Karina Bliss. The stories and plots are ordinarily with plenty of loose ends. But the binge worthy reason are the moments in her books where there is self discovery and those are so beautiful, so angry that it makes the read worthy. Her average book size on my reader is abt 700 pages, so the reads are fast and fun. Currently i am reading one of her rocker books called Rise. Am just abt 100 pages in, and it's a longish book, abt 900 pages. But it's beautiful. Never have I read a protagonist of a romance novel being so unlovable and I am looking forward to how she redeems him.

Also just a heads up. Today is the release of a new book by one of my fave authors - Mary Balogh. Another author who creates the most unlikely romance scenarios and I am particularly looking forward to this one, as it involves an older woman and a younger man. My fave trope....wink wink nudge nudge...
This is the latest in her series of the Westcotts.

Her books are ones that I buy so you guys will have to wait a couple of days before I can get it to you.

Happy reading.

By the way, I would much appreciate if you'll shared with me books you are crushing on.

I hope that your day is free of fleas....

😍😍😍😘😘😘😘

Thappad

Thappad The prelude to the aria that is Thappad, is a dizzying runabout of a homemaker's humdrum daily chores. It serves to establish the roles each character has established for themselves. The husband played by newbie, Pavail Gulati is wonderfully self-obsessed and completely oblivious to anything but his own needs. The wife played by Tapsee Pannu ( as if we didn't know! Ha ha!) is on the other end of the spectrum. She is hyper aware of the needs of all those around her and revels in being needed and being able to be of service. The nuances that are written into the script are sheer brilliance. Consider the opening montage introducing the main characters to us. The wife being driven about, the girlfriend being received with love and finally a super successful lawyer finding freedom in hanging out a car window. The conversation that ensues between all of them, sketches skillfully the back stories of the lot of them. The movie is far from being a chest beating comment...

Monica, O My Darling

Straight off the bat, let me tell you that I went into this movie cold. I just saw the trailer and put it on my watch list. I was totally enamored with the cast and the premise. I knew I was going to watch this one, so I didn't delve into the promotional shenanigans.  So if you are of the same bent of mind, stop reading and start watching.  And on your behalf, I did Google Ankola, it is a town in Karnataka and is not to be confused with Akola in Maharashtra. Ha ! Ha! Netflix has been delighting us with gems like Raat Akeli thi, Haseen dilruba and Bulbul. Add this one to that list and think Gehraiyaan. I need not stress on the proficient star cast. They are masters of their craft. Starting with the sneaky Rajkummar Rao, the sultry Huma Quereshi and the wily Radhika Apte, the ensemble includes the creepy Sukant Goel, the beleaguered Zayn Marie and many others. For me Sikandar Kher was a standout. A shoutout to his intensity and his baritone.  The dialogues are spot on and t...
