</html><description>I have been reading a lot. I have not been updating on the blog as Good Reads does the job really well. But here are few books I loved &#x2013; The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Ann Shaffer I hate war stories and for a good reason. This is a post-war story and if there was one thing I really did not like about the book for the love story &#x2013; the one literally forced at the end. A wonderful book. Do pick it up if you are a book lover. &#x2013; The Buddha in the Attic by Julie Otsuka What a book! It is one of those rare books with no well-defined protogonist. The Japanese brides-to-be seeking a better life make a trip to the land where dreams come true &#x2013; to the US. They tell the story, their lives, the war and more. Beautiful, touching and a gem Nine Lives &#x2013; William Dalrymple Not ficition but a selection of short essays on religion in modern India. An eye-opener. &nbsp; &nbsp;</description></oembed>
