** Thanks to the author for gifting us a review copy of the book. ** ** Thanks to our reviewer for reviewing the book on behalf of Literoma. ** ‘Sreedevi talkies’ by Shaji Karunakaran is a one of its kind book set against a very unique backdrop. I don’t see too many novels set against a south Indian village – ‘Sreedevi Talkies’ does exactly that. The point where the book stands out, however, is not only its backdrop but the way the author successfully had blended reality and fantasy. The book reflects a thorough research on multiple topics which the readers can’t but appreciate. You don’t necessarily need to be a movie buff to love this book even though the title of the book has that kind of a connotation. So, simply go ahead and dive deep into this book – you, as a reader is assured to get an enriching and enjoying reading experience. Last but not the least – the cover of the book also captures the essence of the content really nicely. The tone set by the cover gets well carr...

** Thanks to the author for gifting us a review copy of the book. ** ** Thanks to our reviewer Sneha Prakash Thakur for reviewing the book on behalf of Literoma. ** Book Review: Urmila Author : Devi Raghuvanshi Genre : Epic My Take : Urmila was one of the characters of the epic Ramayana who intrigued me always. There were very few stories and mentions of her in this epic. As the subtitle suggests,  it's a retelling of Ramayana from Urmila's point of view. She was truly the unsung heroine of this epic. Her sacrifice was greater than anyone else's. All through her life she lived according to other's convenience. Everyone took her for granted and used her for their purposes, whether it was Laxman or anyone else. She was a perfect wife,sister and mother in every sense. The language is simple, yet alluring. Author has given a small summary of Ramayana too. The narration is beautiful and to the point. Ramayana being my favourite I am going to cherish this book a...

** Thanks to the author for gifting us a review copy of the book. ** ** Thanks to our reviewer Yuva Ranjini for reviewing the book on behalf of Literoma. ** Genre: Mythology Sub genre: Religion Pages: 145 The amount of happiness, peace, sacred and divine when you read two epics of Hindu which can’t be measured. That is why I love divinity that gives us an unmatching deep sense of time and satisfaction. So diving into the epics have its perk of what one can treasure up from the serenity of living amid mountains and forests and How it looks like to follow the duty and sacrificing their wants and needs? Devi Raghuvanshi never fails to amuse his readers with his every word and style. I admire his writings, his urge to write and the feat he achieved so far. This book is about his finest delivers of the stature of the epic character by reiterating the Ramayana. Effortlessly he rewrote the tale of Ramayana of the forgotten parts of Urmila, Laxman’s wife that was missed telling to t...

** Thanks to the author for gifting us a Kindle copy of the book for review. ** ** Thanks to our reviewer for reviewing the book on behalf of Literoma. ** "Stranger Than Fiction" is the fifth ebook by author Jisha Rajesh, neatly presented in the form of a Kindle quick read. Irrespective of the slim contents, it came out really well at the end. In fact in this world of self published books, it has become really difficult to pick a quality book, and this being a Kindle novel of thriller genre had made me skeptical even before I started reading it. But my ideas changed as I kept flipping through the pages. As I kept getting into the deeper folds of characters like Shivani, Anamika and Sraavan, I discovered an intriguing storyline, not only fresh but also quite innovative characterizations. Though no English psycho thriller is free from Hitchcock's shadows, but Jisha has brought in some freshness for sure. Coming to book cover, it's designed well, so is the editi...
