Who Stole My Time? by Sunil Mishra.

Image
The Blurb & Th Story: Are we using our smartphones today, or our smartphones are using us?  We would certainly like to believe the former but unknowingly we slip into the latter category. If by reading this story, we can critically examine our relationship with social media and reset it, the objective of the book would be partly met.  Satvik, Sandeep, and Ashok are three college friends meeting in Goa after a 25-year gap. While reminiscing about their college days, they discuss the craze of social media these days. They chance upon an idea of creating ‘Paybook’ – a new social media app that pays the users for their engagements. The app becomes an instant hit. This, however, also unfolds a series of events that take the friends to the unchartered territories. My Take:  Who Stole My Time?: Reclaiming ourselves from the Social Media trap is the first book I'm reading of the author Sunil Mishra. And after I finish reading I can't seem to stop thinking ab

How can she move forward without knowing the whole truth and trust the parents she has come to love? Digging for answers alerts the other side and forces Marvin to come out of retirement.

The Girl with the Lightning Brain By Cliff Ratza

Image
The Blurb & The Story:  "Electra is exceptional. She knows that. And she also know her extraordinary abilities - the paranormal aftermath of a near-death experience at birth - are secrets that must never be revealed. Her life depends on it." So begins chapter one, which sets the stage for current trends extrapolating into an early 22nd century ominous America threatened by "Techno-Plague" and Middle East terrorism. Electra Kittner would be labeled a genetic freak and treated badly if the Government ever found out her secrets. The action twists and turns relentlessly to a suspense-filled conclusion that leaves readers eager for the sequel. Readers are invited to enjoy the series at whatever level they choose: from a gripping action-packed thriller all the way to an exploration of the timeless challenges "the human condition" presents each of us. And along the way, be prepared to meet a cast of endearing characters, each having strengths and weak
