          ‘I am a home to butterflies’ by J Alchem is a collection of poetry, quotes and letters. The book is about the emotions that a person goes through when he/she is in love, when he/she goes through a breakup and how he/she is trying to move ahead but it is not that easy as we think it would be. We sometimes get used to a person so much that it is difficult to stay away from them but then when they move on easily and we are still stuck in the same moment living those moments again and again. We are forced to think if they ever loved us or was it just us who were living under a false presumption that the person also loves as much as we love them. The book truly is about you and me and when the readers would read the book it would be about us. To know more read I am a home to butterflies.

My Thoughts:

I had read and loved the first book from the author ‘Undelivered Letters’ and loved the writing style of the author. I read poetry very less but this book is the best for someone who is new to poetry’s. The book is full of emotions and expresses the true feelings that a person would feel when he/she is in love or going through a breakup. The book is not just about love but also about the feelings that a girl would feel and the pain she goes through when people ignore or judge her on a day to day basis.

The author has beautifully penned down the thoughts behind every emotion beautifully in the poetry and in the letters. The thought behind each poem is so meaningful and touching that it would make the readers think. The author has based his poems on topics like relationship, love, heartbreak, hatred, etc. The language used by the author is simple and lucid so it won’t be difficult for the readers to understand.  

I would surely recommend this book to someone who wants to start reading poetry and someone who is looking for a different perspective to life and wants to get away from the negativity that some people bring along with them.

My Rating: 5/5

Dancers in the Dark Author: Ejaz Ahamed Pages: 298               After reading this book, the very first thing that came to my mind was, ‘Is there humanity?’ If yes what is humanity? This was a very emotional read for me. The story revolves around Kalki, her brother Karthi, and Shreyas whom we will meet later in the story. Karthi is a seven-year-old who is suffering from a skin condition that makes her skin dark compared to other dark people. People are constantly making fun of her calling her a ‘darkie’ and some even call her ‘ugly’. This has affected the poor girl to a very great extent to the point that instead of playing and having fun she is constantly thinking about how she can turn her skin fair. Her brother Karthi, is always there by her side trying to save her; and protect her from these kinds of people. However, one guilt is still constantly peeking its head out from time to time for Karthi. Karthi was once le...
