Omg from where do i start? This book is a complete package that comes with humor, adventure, romance , Oh Mr. Rikkard Ambrose you son of a bachelor.
Omg from where do i start? This book is a complete package that comes with humor, adventure, romance , sarcasm and have I mentioned Humor? I would have to admit that Storm and Silence is one of the most unique and original book out there. The humor and satire in the book is to die for. I have been on wattpad for a every long time and I'm reading this masterpiece now…… Late to the party but so so so worth it.
The book is set in Victorian time where women are not allowed to vote or do things that men can so easily do. The men are quite conservative when it comes to women having their own rights .
Lilly Linton aka Mr. Linton is the most baddest, independent, sassy and courageous woman in the history who decides to dress as a man to vote. Her bold action doesn't go unnoticed by the notorious Mr Rikkard Ambrose who offers her a job. Lilly’s life takes a turn the day she becomes Mr. Rikkard Ambrose personal secretary. Oh and the granite I mean... Mr. Rikkard Ambrose is an honorable, mysterious, stone cold and a every distant man who values money and time.
"Always remember : Knowledge is power is time is money." "I thought it's 'Knowledge is power' and 'time is money'?" " I combined the two to save time."
This son of a bachelor is a man crush everyday. And I loved him so much and his relationship with Mr. Linton who manages to step on his nerves every now and then making him twitch his little finger.
Ah and Karim. What a brave loyal man, always ready to fight for his Sahib but…. “I would fight an Ifrit for you, Sahib. But this creature?" He gave me a look that reminded me of the way my aunt always looked at me. "I must respectfully decline."
I don’t know how to put my love for this book into words to describe. THE HUMOR IS EVERYTHING. I REPEAT EVERYTHING. I'm grinning while writing this review, now imagine how much I grinned while I was reading the BOOK. From the every start of this book i was hooked, desperately hooked. I laughed countless times and loud enough to get a glare from my mom.
I already want to re-read it but the curiosity of what will happen next is weighing on that desire. If you're looking for romance( slow burn), adventure, mystery, humor (lots of ) sarcasm , hot impolite introvert hero then I highly recommend this book....more
I feel so happy, blessed and proud that I decided to read this book. It is hilarious and deep both at the same time. 5 SAAB STARS
What a great book.
I feel so happy, blessed and proud that I decided to read this book. It is hilarious and deep both at the same time. I have wiped my tears and then laughed the next second. A realistic book that you won't be able to put it down. My emotions were all over the place when i finished it. The lively and vigorous characters brought a huge smile to my face. As much i enjoyed reading this book I learned a lot too.
It's one of the best books i have read so far. I highly highly recommend it to everyone.
The book is about a fifty-nine year old man Ove who doesn't talk about others. A man with a struggling past. A man who likes to keep his life private, a man who loves his Saab more then he loves his neighbor. A man who hates men and women in white shirts. A man of principles. He is a man of black and white but his wife Sonja was color. All the color he had.
"Nothing works when you're not home."
"Men are what they are because of what they do. Not what they say."
"You only need one ray of light to chase all the shadows away."
But if anyone had asked, he would have told them that he never lived before he met her. And not after either.
“To love someone is like moving into a house," Sonja used to say. "At first you fall in love in everything new, you wonder every morning that this is one's own, as if they are afraid that someone will suddenly come tumbling through the door and say that there has been a serious mistake and that it simply was not meant to would live so fine. But as the years go by, the facade worn, the wood cracks here and there, and you start to love this house not so much for all the ways it is perfect in that for all the ways it is not. You become familiar with all its nooks and crannies. How to avoid that the key gets stuck in the lock if it is cold outside. Which floorboards have some give when you step on them, and exactly how to open the doors for them not to creak. That's it, all the little secrets that make it your home. "
“Death is a strange thing. People live their whole lives as if it does not exist, and yet it's often one of the great motivations for the living. Some of us, in time, become so conscious of it that we live harder, more obstinately, with more fury. Some need its constant presence to even be aware of its antithesis. Others become so preoccupied with it that they go into the waiting room long before it has announced its arrival. We fear it, yet most of us fear more than anything that it may take someone other than ourselves. For the greatest fear of death is always that it will pass us by. And leave us there alone.”
“You miss the strangest things when you lose someone. Little things. Smiles. The way she turned over in her sleep. Even repainting a room for her.” ...more
FIVE FEATHERS FOR "AND THE MOUNTAINS ECHOED" By Khaled Hosseini This is the first time I have read a Historical Drama and I don't regret it. It was wriFIVE FEATHERS FOR "AND THE MOUNTAINS ECHOED" By Khaled Hosseini This is the first time I have read a Historical Drama and I don't regret it. It was written marvelously. The words, sentences, emotions they all were beautiful. I have never marked so many paragraphs as much as I have marked in this book. It was Amazing, Incredible and Unique. And the Mountains Echoed isn't about one or two characters. Its about a whole family. A chapter for each character. And my most favorite were of Abdullah's, Nabi's and Pari's (Saboor's daughter) I have cried mostly while reading Nabi's letter to Mr. Markos and at the end where Pari meets Pari. It's about how human only thinks about his own good. How he can sacrifice his loved ones to get close to whom he wants to love. But Khaled beautifully shows how we can cherish the memories and we can make most of them If don't let go of the people around us. And the Mountains Echoed is a great reality check we need to read. There were so many favorites parts. So many one lined sentences which held meanings of years of experience and years of heart break. * A story is like a moving train: no matter where you hop on board, you are bound to reach your destination sooner or later. * I found a sad little fairy Beneath the shade of a paper tree. I know a sad little fairy Who was blown away by the wind one night. * I know that some people feel unhappiness the way others love: privately, intensely and without recourse. * We are waiting, all of us, against insurmountable odds, for something extraordinary to happen to us. * They say, find a purpose in your life and live it. But, sometimes, it is only after you have lived that you recognize your life had a purpose, and likely one you never had in mind. And now that I had fulfilled mine, I felt aimless and adrift. * It's a funny thing... but people mostly have it backward. They think they live by what they want. But really, what guides them is what they're afraid of. What they don't want.” Other books By Hosseini are in my TBR cart waiting for me. Can't wait to read and relish them.
