#Rashu_Reads : April 2023

First, I need to tell you why this prompt was chosen. Funnily enough we came across a book in our 2022 reading journey that was titled 'How To Kill Your Best Friend'. This was a hilarious shocking title we found intriguing and we instantly signed up for the readalong.

This book was read in March, which incidentally is Anjali's birth month and here we were besties reading this book together. This title is one we won't forget. Hence the prompt - 'Title with a twist or that shocks'.

Why Anjali shortlisted these three books for the April prompt?

I'm Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy
This title simply caught my attention. It sounds so controversial, and yet I can also relate... Because my memoir could easily have read - I'm glad my dad died... But I have a great therapist.

The Train To Impossible Places by PG Bell
Rashu picks the best middle grade books, and when the books title is this intriguing, why indeed would I not want to read this book!

I Can Read With My Eyes Shut by Dr Seuss
This sounds so sus... Unless you're reading in Braille, or you're 'reading' an audiobook... And I love Dr Seuss books for the colours and just how simply appealing they are...

Why Rashu shortlisted these three books for the April prompt?

The Train To Impossible Places by PG Bell
Magic always intrigues me and in my perpetual effort to indulge my kids' imaginations; this was one such title I picked for them. It was one I had full intent to read too!.

Dead Men Tell Tales by Dr B. Umadathan
This was a book I won as a part of #letsreadmalayalam challenge last year. The book is memoir of a forensic surgeon, translated from Malayalam to English.

Off the Page by Jodi Picoult & Samantha Van Leer
Jodi Picoult is one of my favourite authors and this title jumped out to me when perusing books at 'The Bookworm' with Anjali.
