Review #261: The Secret in Their Eyes by Eduardo Sacheri



My rating: 4 of 5 stars


"The brevity or prolonging the life of a human being depends primarily on the flow of pain that person is forced to endure." 


----Eduardo Sacheri


Eduardo Sacheri, an Argentinean author, has penned a gripping novel, The Secret in Their Eyes which has later been translated into English after this book's movie adaption won an Oscar for the Best Foreign Language Film in 2010. So they call it "the novel that became an Oscar-winning film", which traces the story of a retired investigator trying to write a novel based on a decade old rape-cum-murder of a young married woman and in the process of going through the past, old memories as well as romances cloud up his soul thus re-opening the window to his much cherished past but it comes with a price and with some mind-blowing revelations both personal as well as political.


Feature & Follow #15: My First Ever Book



Good morning folks,


It's time to have a new feature and follow blog post, which is a weekly meme hosted by Alison Can Read and Parajunkee's View.


What is Feature and Follow Friday?
 
In simple words- to gain more followers either via GFC or Bloglovin'. So the very idea of having this feature and follow meme is to collect more new bloggers on the block and to make new blogger friends as well as followers. It is a great idea which was started out by Alison and  Rachel. Three Cheers for those two masterminds!

5 Effective Ways to Promote Your Blog Using Instagram


Good Day!!
So you've a blog that needs a certain amount of followers in a short span of time! I mean who doesn't have that in mind- 200 followers within a span of like 1.5 month. Yeah, you heard me right! It's possible now, no not by doing weekly memes (which is an incredibly slow process!!) or promoting your blog in the social media world, like Bloglovin' or Facebook or Twitter (bloggers' favorite platform!), but by promoting your blog on Instagram- a new social media which has over 300 million monthly users (way more than Twitter!). Why?





Review #260: Alive (The Generations Trilogy, #1) by Scott Sigler



My rating: 4 of 5 stars


“It is not the strongest or the most intelligent who will survive but those who can best manage change.” 


----Leon C. Megginson, an American author



Scott Sigler, the New York Times best-selling author, pens his new book, Alive which happens to be the first book in The Generationstrilogy, that traces the story of a young girl trapped inside a casket with no trace of her past or future, embarks upon a thrilling journey to find a way out from a mysterious corridor along with the few survivors. How did she got there in the first place? And how to find to way to save herself as well as the survivors who are looking upon her for her guidance?

These questions lead to this book and guys, I suggest you pick up a copy of this book right away to uncover the mind-boggling mystery behind the storyline, which the author himself asks his readers to keep it under wraps while writing a review!!
