Book Review: The Body in the Library by Agatha Christie

The Body in the Library 
Agatha Christie
5 of 5 stars

Genre: Fiction/Detective Story

A Body in the Library was written in 1942 by Agatha Christie. It is one of the true masterpieces of her work. It is the 3rd part of the Miss Marple (Detective Lady) series.
The story of it is composed as…..
It was seven in the morning when the housemaid enters Colonel Arthur and Miss Bantry’s room frightened and said breathlessly ‘Oh, ma’am oh, oh ma’am, there’s a body in the library’. On hearing this, Bantry’s woke up and rushed down the staircase, towards the library. They were shocked to see a girl’s dead body. After seeing this Mrs Bantry called her friend Miss Jane Marple to come over and try to solve the situation that had just happened.

Sounds interesting right!
It is truly great work, easy to read and the good thing is that it is not lengthy so one can quickly complete it in one sitting. Recommended
(It is special to me because this was my first ever book that pushed me towards the heavens of book reading)

I Started Journaling and It Quietly Changed Everything

Why You Should Start Journaling Writing about your weekly progress can help a lot. A teacher once told my class: “Write your progress somewhere and ask yourself if you’ve actually grown.” I didn’t take it seriously at first, but I still started writing — and now it’s been two years . And honestly, the best part wasn’t the writing… It was reading my past self . What Makes Journaling Special? There are things in life we can’t share publicly — even with people we trust the most. But a journal is different: Nobody is judging you You can be completely honest You can write things you’ll never say out loud You can expose your weaknesses without fear It’s yours — private. How I Started I didn’t start journaling to “track progress” or “be productive.” I just wrote what was happening: How my tests went How people treated me Why they behaved a certain way What I was feeling It became a space where I could say anything — without being misunderstood. No one was judg...

Let the Man Cry

It’s okay to let it out. You’re safe here — with yourself, your thoughts, and your truth. As a man myself, I understand that society has presented men as someone who must be strong — both physically and mentally. We are seen as people who, when we cry, somehow become weak. And yes, sometimes others might treat us differently when we do. The society made me believe that crying makes you weak. I used to think that too… but now I realize it’s this very mentality that makes you weak.   But I guess crying doesn’t make you weak. It actually helps regulate your emotions — the feelings you’ve buried deep in your heavy heart. Some of us might have never cried in our lives, or maybe we’ve even forgotten how. But I guess… it’s time to let your tears fall in your safe space. And by safe space , I don’t mean another person. I mean yourself . Because you are the only one who has seen your ups and downs. You are the one who understands yourself the most. You are the one who will n...

Book Review: Verity by Colleen Hoover

Verity Colleen Hoover 5 of 5 stars Genre: Thriller/Romance/Mystery The story of the book is as follows...... Jeremy Crawford husband of Verity Crawford (best-selling author) invites Lowen Ashleigh (an average struggling author) to complete her wife’s remaining work in a series that she couldn’t complete because she was injured. When Lowen reaches Crawford's house she starts to get through years of Verity's work to first understand which tone and style she uses in her books. After finding her autobiography, in which she has written everything about herself and how her life changed, which Verity wrote for herself, she began reading it too. As she continues reading it, the intensity of her terrors and curiosity grows as she goes through the chapters one by one. This was my first Miss Collen book. It gave me chills while reading it and I completed it within two days. This was pretty fast for me. Recommended for everyone interested in Romance, Mystery and Thrill...
