Hi there !🙂

I am scarletkite, I am 23 years old and a resident of the culturally rich and vibrant country India.

          I have never travelled much to other states either. I have quite literally spend my whole life here and let me tell you life can become quite mundane very quickly and you just want to immerse yourself into something more interesting. Books provide that escape for me, thanks to my English teachers in high school I am forever indebted to them for igniting my thirst for reading🙏.
        I quickly grasped that reading can take you on an adventure, rattle your belief system, take your emotions on rollercoaster ride and experience life through the eyes of someone else altogether.
        So this brings me to the objective of this blog. I will be blogging about books I have read, my key takeaways from it, some relevant anecdotes from my own life through which I could relate to it. I am excited to do this and thank you for reading my blog.🍎

Hi, everyone! I hope you are doing well. I need to be a bit more consistent with my blog, especially when I have set a target of 2 posts per month. Well, life gets in the way, but I will try to plan better, as I quite like doing this. Without further delay, let's jump into this book review.                                         We would be privy to watching or reading standard suspense crime novels where a detective and his partner solve several crime cases. But what if the partner gets killed in the act while doing business? Such is the case with the "Spade and Miles" agency in San Francisco. A woman named Wonderly comes in for business and asks to shadow a man named Thursby. But when Miles was performing his duties , he got killed instead. There are not many clues found there, but those that point to Thursby being responsible for his death leave readers a...

For almost three centuries, a spirit has resided in the house. The ghost, Sir Simon de Canterville, is an old man with blood red eyes, matted gray hair, and dressed in rags. From his wrist and ankles hung heavy shackles. He considers groaning while moving in the corridor at midnight and glowing with a neon green color his whole purpose of existence. Added to that, he has a passion to play dress-up to scare the occupants, which is a rare sight in British land. Nevertheless, such was the case with Canterville Chase's haunted mansion.                    Now he is being challenged by an American minister, Mr. Hiram B. Otis, and his family, who decide to call it BS and move into this residence anyway. This family has four kids, the eldest son named Washington, a girl named Virginia, and then there were the mischeivious twin boys. They are cultured Americans, classy and Republican at heart, have a modern outlook on life, and couldn't be bother...

Hi all ! To the readers that I still don't have, this is one of the classics in English literature that does get introduced in cbse curriculum in indian school. Although they only include an except and not the whole story, due to the sheer length of it. I had this in one of my school days too.         Now, during the occasional surf over the internet to read some comics, I came across a website that had a collection of illustrated classic novels. I am not sure if the site is legal, but it says these are classics illustrated a comic book series by Albert Kanter. The series ran from 1941 to 1971 producing 169 issues.        I knew I wanted to read the story and know the complete ending of the story.         The story begins by readers witnessing a family enjoying their holidays with a picnic. We gather that Victor the eldest son is inquisitive and loves chemistry. He has been given an opportunity to conduct experiments at a ...
