“Drunk on love and tears” is Sanjana Basu’s debut book. It’s a non fiction self love and revival book, that I don’t think fits in any other category but “wisdom”. Now how do I talk about this book? I did not know what to expect because the summary on Amazon did not give away much. Also, I rarely tend to reach for self help books and when I do, I mostly find them boring and useless. That was not the case here! The first thing that draw me to it was the cover and the art inside

Act 1: Geneva Airport, Switzerland. A girl is sitting on the floor, reading a book. Act 2: The girl misses her plane to Sofia, Bulgaria. The girl doesn’t mind. The book is good. Act 3: Book and girl end up in Warsaw, Poland. Not even close to home. The girl still doesn’t mind. The book is really good.

If humans keep reproducing but cease to face death, the world will face overpopulation. Thus comes the role of

Illuminae is not your typical YA – SciFi – post apocalyptic – space based – star crossed lovers – novel. Yes, there is love. Yes, there is a trail of tragic events. And yes, it is set in space. But no, the compresence stops here. If you love SciFi – this book is for you!  If you love fast paced action books – go for it! If you like zombie themed video games – oh, you’ll enjoy this! If you like politics and strategy – yes, got that too! If you’re interested in artificial intel

It was a Sunday afternoon and my friend and I were looking for a parking spot in front of a pizza joint. At the corner of the street two men were throwing books in the trach cans. It was like a scene from a movie. The two men, the giant pile of books at their feet, and the almost full recycle bins. Being me, I was too shy to go and ask them to look at the books, so I waited them out and went to “investigate”. There were not just books, but pictures, photographs, post cards, n
