#BlogHop #SignUP :: International Authors' Day 2016



This is a request to join in and celebrate the people who provide us with hours of entertainment!

I was shocked to realize that there's isn't an International Authors' Day that we can all celebrate to show our appreciation for the hours of hard work that  authors put into their  books... So I decided to do something about it!

I am going to celebrate 'International Authors' Day' on 18th July. Will you join me?

I will be organizing a Blog hop that will go on from 14th to 18th July. Join in and write post on your favourite Books & Authors, or about how you got into reading, or why you love reading, or .... you get my drift. Let's show these folks that we love and cherish them!

The books I am eagerly waiting for to release!

Queen of Shadows (Throne of Glass #4) by Sarah J. Maas
I LOVE this series. After Harry Potter, this is the only YA-Fantasy series that has managed to make me go all fangirly about it.

Check out my reviews of:

Guardians of the Halahala book 2 by Shatrujeet Nath
What a great beginning to the trilogy! Perfect mix of Fantasy and Thriller. The Second instalment of the trilogy was supposed to be out end of this year, but I hear that the release date may be postponed :(

Check out my reviews of:

Make Me (Jack Reacher #20) by Lee Child
Oh! How I love Jack Reacher. Please do not judge his character based on the Tom cruise movie. Jack Reacher is really really good. Even after 19 books, the excitement isn't any less and the expected date of publication of this book is 8th September 2015

Check out my reviews of:

The First Life of Vikram Roy by Laxmi Hariharan
Laxmi Hariharan is the first Indian author whose YA/Dystopian works really excite me. I love her angry young lady protagonist - Ruby. The tentative date of release of this book is in October 2015

International Authors' Day Blog Hop 2014




The Real Culprits…

Hello Everyone!

My Name is Debdatta Dasgupta Sahay and I am a Book Addict. I have been diagnosed to be in the critical stage where, I refuse to go out – for anything, especially social gatherings, often miss out on house chores and tend to forget things that do not include my current read. I have also been tagged as a book hoarder who salivates after paperbacks even after owning a Nook and a Kindle Fire. But I am not the only person to be blamed for this status.

The real culprits in this case, who got me addicted, are my parents. As book addicts and book hoarders themselves, they ensured that I was always surrounded by a never ending supply of books. Majority of my ‘surprise’ gifts consisted of books. They even took further steps to ensure that I would become addicted by telling me stories – not the usual fairy tales. My mother often narrated the best historical fictions and detective stories to me as my bed-time story or whenever I gave her trouble during meal times. My father ensured that I knew all about Hercule Poirot and Sherlock Holmes even before I could actually pronounce these names properly. Growing up with four elder brothers at home (we were a joint family) I was a hyperactive child and their solution was to make me sit and read an Enid Blyton or an Agatha Christie or a Satyajit Ray Novel (according to my age at the time). So you see, I never had a chance. When I took my first job for a nominal salary, half of my salary was used in contributing to the family, my personal expenses and savings. The remaining half went into buying booksand my parents encouraged it! 

And few months back, I quit my job in order to be able to read more! People often tell me that I read too much and that I should go out more and mingle more. My only response is ‘Is there something like reading too much?!!’ I wouldn’t know as I always wish for ‘more time’ to read!

Well, now you know my story and know that I am beyond anyone’s help. So, recommend me some books that you have read and enjoyed - of any genre except non-fiction and erotica!
