Factfulness: Ten Reasons Weâre Wrong About the World â and Why Things Are Better Than You Think, Book Review
Before diving into the details of my recently-read book, let me ask you all a question:
In all low-income countries across the world today, how many girls finish primary school?
a. 20 percent

âWhere the Crawdads Singâ by Delia Owens long awaited in my reading list as I was a little busy in the past months. But as soon as I got free, I finished this corpulent, richly described novel in the span of 5 days.
This novel is Owensâ debut novel and belongs to the genre of mystery and romance fiction. No doubt Owens delineated every scene of the novel with great amounts of elucidation andâŠ

Book Review: Man Chalay Ka Sauda by Ashfaq Ahmad
For me, the craving for reading is never ending. Last week, I got this book issued from my universityâs library: Man Chalay Ka Sauda by Ashfaq Ahmad, and I read this over 300 pages book within a span of 7 days. The reason I chose to read this book was its thoughtful excerpts which caught my attention on different social media pages as well as my prior experience of reading Ashfaq Sahibâs Zaviya.
