My favourite Quarantine Reads!
Hello everyone, hope you're doing well,are safe and are hanging in there until we get over the pandemic.
Frankly speaking, reading during this time has been a very different and difficult due to various issues such as lack on concentration, anxiety and so on. However I did manage to read quite a few books and I decided to put some of my favourite Quarantine reads together. The reason why they qualify into this category is because they're uplifting, lively, and full of hope-just what we need the most during these challenging times.(plz note there are a few that I've read before the lock down,but because they're capable of lifting up ones mood I decided to put them up on the list!)
*Due to some technical difficulties not all the review links could be added,so plz find them on my blog and/or on my instagram page *
I truly hope you'll like reading this and if you plan on picking up one of them, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
So let's begin....
1)REMI
The unexpected adventures of Remi by Shweta roy is a story told from the perspective of domestic animals, its a blend of fiction and fantasy. The story starts off by the chicago pet shop bidding farewell to Remi, a 2 year old dog who is all set to start a life now with his new owners.
Things don't go as planned and as she soon realises that humans are too caught up with themselves and their technology to acknowledge the presence of pets in their lives. As Remi meets some more fur buddies they start taking up various adventures all of which are narrated in the story.

All you wanderers, dreamers, seekers, old souls and even millennials, this is something you need to have on your shelf!
This is probably the first time I've felt the need to review a book in 2 parts from 2 whole different perspectives, firstly as a reviewer and secondly as a reader.
In search of home is a book whose story revolves around the life of an orphan child Dev, amidst all the hardships that he faces his dream in life is to tie up all the loose ends such as finding something about his parents and/or about the lady who decided to fund his entire education since grade 5 and lastly to find his HOME.
A major chunk of this story is in the form of diary entries by Dev that give the reader a personal feeling of the story.
