Question of this week
Bookselling Time: Go to your biggest bookcases. Go to the second shelf from the top and pick out the sixth book from the left. Handsell that book to us - even if you haven’t read it or if you hated it. (if you don’t have bookcases, done have six books on one shelf, etc, pick a book at random)

My Answer
** Okay, I picked Diary of a Wimpy Kid by Jeff Kinney. Now time to sell it. :D **

Hey there, book-nerd! Yes, you! What have you been reading lately? Something related to studies- that's boring, eh? Want to read some funny and interesting stuff? You do, right? Then what are you waiting for? Grab


book and start turning the pages! Trust me, you'll love reading this. You're out of your middle school, I assume, but the memories are all lively, right? Gotcha! This is your chance to relive those days, to view things through Greg's eyes and have a pure FUN time while reading Greg's hilarious experiences. I bet you'll love this. So if you're still hesitating about buying the book maybe a synopsis will do the work for you.
Boys don’t keep diaries—or do they?

The launch of an exciting and innovatively illustrated new series narrated by an unforgettable kid every family can relate to

It’s a new school year, and Greg Heffley finds himself thrust into middle school, where undersized weaklings share the hallways with kids who are taller, meaner, and already shaving. The hazards of growing up before you’re ready are uniquely revealed through words and drawings as Greg records them in his diary.

In book one of this debut series, Greg is happy to have Rowley, his sidekick, along for the ride. But when Rowley’s star starts to rise, Greg tries to use his best friend’s newfound popularity to his own advantage, kicking off a chain of events that will test their friendship in hilarious fashion.

Author/illustrator Jeff Kinney recalls the growing pains of school life and introduces a new kind of hero who epitomizes the challenges of being a kid. As Greg says in his diary, “Just don’t expect me to be all ‘Dear Diary’ this and ‘Dear Diary’ that.” Luckily for us, what Greg Heffley says he won’t do and what he actually does are two very different things.


Convinced now? Just forget all your hesitations and GRAB it. It won't be a waste, I promise!

Question of this week

 Are there any book to movie adaptations where you think the movie is better than the book?

My Answer


There are some books whose movie adaptations, I feel, are better than the book itself (majority of the books are actually better than the movies, though!). I'd mention one here, and that is Life of Pi by Yann Martel.


The book is beautiful, no doubt it is beautifully written. But the movie is, however, better, at least I feel so. I read the book first and hence I was very interested and excited about watching the movie. The 3-D movie brought life and soul to the story. I loved everything about it, every bit of it. The acting, screenplay, cinematography, music, sound effect and of course the direction. Everything was so perfect. It was a wonderful experience and an absolute treat to watch it. And that's why I liked the movie slightly better than the book.

Feature and Follow #1


Feature and Follow is a blog hop hosted by Parajunkee and Alison Can Read. This blog hop allows bloggers to meet new bloggers and gain new followers! If you're new to this blog hop thing, you can find the details at the blog of the hosts.


This is my first ever Feature & Follow post. So, yeah, I'm super excited about it! This is such a great opportunity to meet and befriend fellow bloggers (and to gain followers, of course! ;-)). I'm hoping to make lots of new friends through this feature. :-)


Question of this week

What book are you embarrassed to admit you LOVED?

First of all, I want to mention that I'm not really embarrassed to admit that I loved a book, I never am! It isn't necessary that my choice of like or dislike will be similar with others. But that isn't embarrassing. The book I'm gonna mention here is the one I loved but most of the other people didn't.
The book is I Too Had A Love Story by Ravinder Singh.

I'll provide the synopsis for you, if you want to check out!

Synopsis
Do Love stories ever die? Can modern day gadgets like Mobile phones and the ‘http:\ www’ era of Internet bring you the love of your life? You haven’t met her earlier, but commit to marry. Will you still call this a love marriage? And what if on the engagement day while you pull the ring out from your pocket, you realize what you planned was just a dream which never comes true…? How would you react when a beautiful person comes into your life, becomes your most precious possession and then one day goes away from you…forever? Not all love stories are meant to have a perfect ending. Some stay incomplete. Yet they are beautiful in their own way. Ravin’s love story is one such innocent and beautiful story.

Its a fiction (but based on real life story of the author) by an Indian author. This book holds a very special place in my heart. I haven't seen many people who like this book, you can see yourself by checking it's Goodreads page here. But I do love this book. Well, I have to admit that there is nothing remarkable about the literary content of the book, in fact the language is utterly simple! And that's why I love this book- because its simple, its beautiful. The story is a heart-warming love story which turns out to be a tragedy at the end. Believe it or not, I cried like crazy after reading this book (well, that's a bit embarrassing! :P) but it was spontaneous and I couldn't help it.



So what's you answer to this question?
