Geronimo Stilton - Elisabetta Dami




 This post is dedicated to my daughter n her friends - little fans of the famouse Geronimo Stilton ! I totally enjoy these fabumousely cheesy pieces also the Malayalam version of Geronimo Stilton - Detective Rajappan. O! it's fun - the illustrations, the creativity, word games, onomatopoeia and the puns intended.

Just wondering...... do mice really love cheese?

Ladies Coupe - Anita Nair

Anita Nair of curly locks n big expressive eyes. I became a fan of her magic quill with The Better Man . Her first novel is mostly about men and the second totally on women. Cool.




Hmm. I enjoyed reading the book. An easy read, engrossing too. It chronicles the evolution of 6 women into efficient manipulators to find happiness n fulfillment in their respective lives. Though the narrative becomes grey, depressive and dragging at times, each lady finds out a promising prospective to look forward to and that makes the reader feel good.

Feminism? Women empowerment? What nonsense!  Manipulation - that's the word of the day, the key to success.

The Better Man - Anita Nair




The better Man is Anita Nair's first novel. It is set in Kerala, a village called Kaikurussi. The novel kicks start slowly and laboriously and becomes so picaresque that you can relate to each character in that novel/village. It's like watching an old good Malayalam movie with a good message.

Anita Nair is a great story teller.I loved reading this book. This is one of the best books I've ever read. Thus Anita Nair gets one more admirer to boast about.
