The Fault in Our Stars by John Green (Book review)

The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde (Book review)

his is not a book for you.
China Harayeko Manchhe (चिना हराएको मान्छे) by Hari Bansha Acharya (Book review)

Dhumdham ko Ghumgham by Kanak Mani Dixit (Book review )
A fictional story of adventures of a brave frog in a travel journey which portrays a beautiful scenic descriptions of my country... I know it sounds wonderful. The descriptions of the beautifully shaped mountains and the various rituals and problems associated with the places mentioned in the journey along the way was wonderfully put.
But the adventure story was a little too unrealistic. I am not saying I have problem with a talking frog who decides to travel his country because I get the frog's narration and his point of view. What I personally disliked about this book was that everyone, literally everyone he meets in his journey is so positive and helpful. A tigress letting a frog travel around on her back! Spiritual enlightening! A pilot bending all his rules to let a frog travel in his shirt pocket!
Yes I get that it is a fiction and probably the moral is that you need to dream big but it did make me wonder if it would have been better as a non fiction book maybe?
Also I was not exactly sure about the genre of this book and the target audience. It feels too deep to be called a child's book and too bland to be a grown-up book.

100 songs to save your life
I wish I could take the credit for coming up something as great as this topic but this has been done over and over again. I saw it for the first time when Peyton thinks she is dying and makes a tape for her unborn baby (One Tree Hill). Needless to say, the main point of this being that music heals everything.
Music always helps, no matter what you’re going through. So, if you flunk a big test, or you had a really bad breakup, or you just miss someone so bad, it hurts, then listen to my playlist. A hundred songs to save your life. And it should help. – Peyton Sawyer, “One Tree Hill”
The songs are in no particular order.

Ted Mosby, the saint
Hey Ted, remember that time in season 8 when you admitted to still having feelings for Robin, I thought that was the lamest thing ever. Dude, yes i realize you being the hopelessly romantic type believe in the notion of 'the one' and destiny and all but its been eight years so move on already.
But I will admit that when you left your important meeting and went to assist Robin even when she told you that she was 'okay', my heart went out to you dude. Yes you obviously care for Robin like a lot and you clearly understand her more than Barney does. Oh and yeah you have loved her longer.
They say there is one such person in everybody's life who loves you not only from their heart but from the soul, by their very existence of being. You were that guy for Robin. The strong connection you felt the first time you saw her, you fell in love with her very much into the first date, you even fought the nature for her, and who can forget the big romantic gesture of stealing a french horn and finally she had to comply. But even you have to admit that you guys were just not meant to be. Firstly, you were so very different. Robin always trying to hide what feminine side she had somewhere deep down and you trying to bring out not only her feminine side but also your own. And the fact that you guys were never on the same page didn't help matters either. You had probably started imagining a future together and naming your kids from your first week together though Robin had been quite clear that she wanted neither commitment nor kids in the near or even the distant future.
You guys broke up, decided not be be friends, finally got along to be friends even roommates and you decided that you still have feelings for her. You tried to make it work again, she had mixed feelings about the whole thing, thankfully you did not go for a big romantic gesture this time because believe me, it would have come off as super creepy. And Robin said the words "I love you but I am not in love with you" and friendzoned you forever. I feel for you, I really do.
