A BOOK YOU WANT FOR YOUR BIRTHDAY

Her by Pierre Alex Jeanty

HER. is a poetry & quote collection written to celebrate women. It explores their thoughts, feelings, and emotions, while also laying a foundation for the men who want to hear, understand, connect, and learn about her. The words used in this book are simple, easy to understand and relatable for women in certain situations. I was in a very bad phase of my life when I saw this book online I really wanted it and I was lucky that it was around my birthday and my sister brought it for me. I find it empowering and it helped me get through life that time.

A BOOK YOU’VE RECEIVED AS A BIRTHDAY GIFT

One Arranged Marriage Murder by Chetan Bhagat

Honestly speaking I’ve never been a fan of Chetan Bhagat but as I stated reading this particular one it got me hooked to it. The book is filled with numerous twist and turns, keeps you wanting to know more. The best part was that the twist it took in the end was very unexpected and that is what I love most about it. Nothing better than a book that gives you a good turn of events.

A BOOK WITH THE WORD BIRTHDAY

The Birthday Girl by Sue Fortin

Still haven’t got to read this one but it’s in my reading list and I plan to very soon.

The gripping new release from the author of the psychological suspense bestseller SISTER SISTER ‘Sue Fortin writes with skill and pace, filling her pages with tension. With great characters and a gripping storyline, I was immediately pulled in and found myself desperate to turn the pages’ – Amanda Jennings Two sisters. Only one is telling the truth. As birthday girl Joanne turns forty, no one wants to celebrate her special day or play along with her idea of a fun party – a weekend away in a cozy cottage in the woods. But as her friends reluctantly gather round her it quickly becomes clear that there is more to Joanne’s birthday weekend, because Joanne is planning to reveal a secret that one of her friends is hiding… A beautiful cottage in the middle of the countryside sounds idyllic – until no one can hear your cries for help. And when Joanne’s party turns into a murder scene, one of the party guests must be the killer. As secrets unravel, the rest of Jo’s friends face a race against time to discover the murderer, before they are next on the killer’s guest list…

Four friends. A party to die for. One killer surprise.

A BOOK CHARACTER WHO IS THE SAME AGE AS YOU

A BOOK WITH THE MONTH OF YOUR BIRTHDAY IN THE TITLE

January First: A Child’s Descent into Madness and Her Father’s Struggle to Save Her by Michael Schofield

Another one in my reading list which I am yet to read, excited for this one.

At age six, January (“Jani”) Schofield was diagnosed with one of the most severe cases of child-onset schizophrenia on record. Hallucinating constantly, she is at the mercy of her imaginary friends—some of whom are friendly, while others tell her to scream at strangers, jump out of buildings, and attack her baby brother. Jani is torn between two places: “Calalini,” the illusory home of her imaginary friends, and our world. When potent psychiatric drugs that would level most adults barely faze her, the line dividing delirium from reality grows dangerously blurry.
Amid Jani’s struggle are her parents, who face seemingly insurmountable obstacles daily just to keep both of their children alive and safe. Their battle has included a two-year search for answers, countless medications and hospitalizations, allegations of abuse, despair that almost broke the family apart and, finally, victories against the illness and a new faith that they can create a happy life for Jani.
A passionate and inspirational account, January First is a father’s soul-bearing memoir of the daily challenges and unwavering commitment to save his daughter from the edge of insanity while doing everything he can to keep his family together.

A POPULAR BOOK YOU WOULDN’T WANT FOR YOUR BIRTHDAY

The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides

The Silent Patient is a shocking psychological thriller of a woman’s act of violence against her husband—and of the therapist obsessed with uncovering her motive.

A BOOK WITH A CAKE COVER

This book was suggested to me by a good friend of mine @AshBanawan still yet to read it.

Marnie Salt has made so many mistakes in her life that she fears she will never get on the right track. But when she ‘meets’ an old lady on a baking chatroom and begins confiding in her, little does she know how her life will change. Arranging to see each other for lunch, Marnie finds discovers that Lilian is every bit as mad and delightful as she’d hoped – and that she owns a whole village in the Yorkshire Dales, which has been passed down through generations. And when Marnie needs a refuge after a crisis, she ups sticks and heads for Wychwell – a temporary measure, so she thinks. But soon Marnie finds that Wychwell has claimed her as its own and she is duty bound not to leave. Even if what she has to do makes her as unpopular as a force 12 gale in a confetti factory! But everyone has imperfections, as Marnie comes to realize, and that is not such a bad thing – after all, your flaws are perfect for the heart that is meant to love you.
