Storm and Silence.

Hey guys! How many of you here are into wattpad?? I sure am! Growing up I was a complete bibliophile.. coming to think of it…I still am…(though I don’t have as much time as I did before)

A couple of years back I discovered this amazing app called wattpad and its a shame that many people still don’t know it yet. Well for those of you who don’t it is basically a storytelling online community… You can read stories written by other users or you could write some yourself. You can even vote for books you like or recommend some to a friend… Go on… Try it out here.

I started out loving this app that practically gave me access to unlimited books … And that too for free! Later however I found books to be repetitive and poorly written… I even found a book that was written in broken English!

However, I found out that not all the books there were bad and some were actually quite nice. One such book (That happens to be my current favorite ❤ ) is Storm and Silence by Robert Thier.

It is a historic romance novel but trust me, even if you hate this genre to the core…you will still love this book!

It is a story set in Victorian times where a feminist, Lilly Linton, is desperate to fight for women’s rights and suffrage. However in order to do this, she needs the help of a dark dangerous man… a man, Rikkard Ambrose, who is the definition of a ‘male chauvinistic pig’ and will do anything to get what he wants.  And he is a handsome hunk!

Lilly finds that she has to fight hard, not just for feminism.. but for her growing attraction towards Mr. Ambrose.

This book was so good I could literally not put it down. Sir Rob (as he calls himself) has a flare for writing and amazing ways of describing things.

I was so into this book that I couldn’t stop until I read all the books in the series! I’m now at the 4th book in the series and patiently wait every Wednesday for a new chapter to be released 😦

If you haven’t read this already, go try it right away! Trust me you will love it, and re-read it as well.

You can try reading this story on Radish too or maybe buy the book here.

Ciao,

A dose of Nostalgia

Once upon a time a long long time ago, okay not so long ago, I was a kid (like everyother human). Even as a kid I loved reading and I had this book that was bound in blue with worm holes through it (was apparently my great grandmother’s book!!!). It was my favourite book and was what got me into reading. I don’t remember the author or title of the book but there is this scene that plays like a movie in my head.

A young girl sitting alone at the window waiting for everyone to come back from a picnic. She was left coz she was sick and wasn’t allowed outside. She sat with her cooking toys at the window sill and made flapjacks.

It is such an insignificant part of the book but just the thought of flapjacks leaves me happy unconsciously. The book is now (hopefully) in the hands of someone who will love it as much as I did but I’ll never forget that book.

I don’t know if it’s the need to feel the familiar or to just feel like you belong, but just a little splash of the past sure does make the bluest day bright.

Signing off,
