Hello Everyone ! I am back again with a new blog which will enhance your knowledge and I am sure you will surely be compelled to read it till the end. It is about some facts of books which I am sure very few know about. So don't just scroll down but make sure to read it thoroughly. I had read about these facts in TINKLE- TELL ME WHY (Books that shaped the World). Since the time, the first printing press was invented by Johannes Gutenberg some amazing books have been written. Here are a few of them. 1. A book written with an eyelid - Can you think of someone who has written a book by blinking his eyelid? Yes, and its Jean Dominique Bauby. He had  a stroke that put him into a coma. He woke up after 20 days and only some movement in his head and eyes remained. Then, he started writing a book. An assistant would read out alphabets and Bauby would blink his left eyelid to show his choice. Every word took about 2,00,000 blinks. This book is 'The Diving Bell and the Butterfly' and

 Hey guys', as said earlier this blog is about the second book of the Inkheart trilogy. In my previous blog, I had explained the story of Inkheart in brief. If you have not read the book, go there and read its summary to get an idea.  Now let's see what happened in the next part. First of all, time for some surprises in the Inkheart. Capricorn dies.  Why, when, who defeats him you'll have to read the book and see.  Meggie too was a Silvertongue. Fenoglio entered the Inkworld. Meggie's mother was in the real world. When Capricorn was trying to recruit his army and was trying to read people out of the book, she had also accidently come out. But, alas her voice was gone.  In Inkspell, Dustfinger wanted to go back to his world ( most commonly known as the Inkworld ) to his wife and children. Farid ( who had become his companion and his student for learning art of fire), was with him and he too wanted to go to the Inkworld with him. Here comes another character in the story,

Hello everyone ! I am back after a long time with a new blog that is about one of my favourite series of novels - Inkheart. It consists of three novels - Inkheart, Inkspell and Inkdeath.  These opening lines certainly compelled me to read this book👇 Inkheart has been made into a major motion picture starring one of my favourite actors - Brendan Fraser. Here's the link to the trailer of this movie.👇 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wKm5vU6SSU So after watching this, you may have got an idea about the story.  Yes, it is a story in which the protagonist Mortimer Folchart ( a book binder) has an ability to read out characters from a story into the real world. He has a really wonderful voice and could bewitch anyone. But I must tell you, that cost him a lot in his life. The main problem was that once he reads out a character from a book, a person from the real life will be trapped inside the book. When he reads aloud, his wife suddenly disappears and he sees a weird looking man outsid

Land of Oz Oz stories (a series of 14 books) are a wonderful and absolutely adventurous series recommended to children to be read. I had also been told by my mother that these stories are worth reading. So, I got the first book of the series from my school library. I was in 7 th standard and I had completed this book in 7 days (of course because I was not such an avid reader back then). The story which I read was about a girl named Dorothy with her dog Toto. It was about a magical and fictional place, which no one knew about called the Land of Oz. Dorothy and Toto landed up in this place ( how, let it be a surprise for you all to read). I actually enjoyed the fact that this place was full of magic and wonderful creatures no one could ever have thought about. The author, Mr. Frank Baum had written in almost every book that maybe this would be the last book of this series. But, fan base of this series, the children forced him to keep writing more books by giving him ideas and suggestion

                                                                    Not many people know what to do early in the morning when we wake up. What do you do? Do you follow a normal routine? Here are some tips on how you can start a cheerful , superb and not to forget: a fresh morning. The first and the most important point- Lie down on the bed for 5 minutes after you wake up . This is to remove the discomfort of suddenly leaving the bed. While lying, think of a positive memory, a memory that brings smile to your lips. Make sure that your room is full of sufficient sunlight . Sunlight is the best, natural way to wake you up. It is also worth-mentioning that the early sunrays are the best. Avoid electronic gadgets specially phones or tablets early in the morning. Don’t touch your phone at least until breakfast. Drink a nice cup of coffee, tea or milk (whatever you prefer). You can read a nice book while drinking your coffee or tea. You can even enjoy the nice breeze sitting in your balcon

  This is what I would call a perfect place for reading. A book in hand and a cup of coffee is all I need. From these lines anyone can tell that I am a reader. But no one can ever know what is behind my interest to read books. I started reading books a little late in my life. The book that first caught my attention and set the wheels spinning was INKHEART. Oh, the excitement of being a silver tongue equalled the fear of being a silver tongue. What if I read out Voldemort from the book. Books opened a magical world of tears and fantasy and sorrow. I would be in Hogwarts one day and could be the unlimited power of Matilda the next day. Today I would like to recommend the hobby of reading books to all my friends because it empowers you, broadens your thinking and sets the pulse raising.
