WELCOME TO MY BLOG
As the name suggests, apart from the usual genres, I shall mostly be talking about various Romance Stories that I have reads throughout my life. And that includes, a ton!!!
My love for
book is hereditary. My mother is a voracious reader and my father presented me
with a library since my birth. I read “Crime and Punishment” by Fyodor
Dostoyevsky when I was only fourteen years old! No wonder, I didn’t understand
a lot of it. Nevertheless, it only increased my curiosity about Russian
Literature and before long I was devouring Leo Tolstoy and Alexander Pushkin.
My love with
Romance novels started when my mentor cum neighbor gave me “The Desert Bride”
by Lynne Graham, published by Mills & Boon. Before this, I had kind of got
scared reading Devdas at the render age of twelve. I remember crying a lot and
got the impression that romance sans tragedy isn’t a genre that exists in the
world.
However, the more I read contemporary
romance, I felt I needed to re-read the classics to understand what makes them
classic! That took a lot of courage for introspection. And man! Was it useful!
What they say
true.
The content
of the book remains the same, only your realization changes over time and with
age!
I am going to
review and suggest reads for the lovers of Romance Readers especially. I will
also, of course, write my two cents about my impressions of various classics
and any random pieces I have loved.
There is also
going to shameless self-promotion as I am a budding writer (don’t have the
balls to call myself an Author yet).
Without
further ado, Welcome once again to my blog!
