1. Not in Love

Author: Ali Hazelwood

Publisher: Sphere

Print Length: 400 pages

Release Date: 11 June 2024

Price: ₹336(price may vary)

Review

Rue Siebert might not have it all, but she has enough: a few friends she can always count on; the financial stability she yearned for as a kid; and a successful career as a biotech engineer at Kline, one of the most promising start-ups in the field of food science. Her world is stable, pleasant, and hard-fought. Until a hostile takeover and its offensively attractive front man threatens to bring it all crumbling down.

Eli Killgore and his business partners want Kline, period. Eli has his own reasons for pushing this deal through - and he's a man who gets what he wants. With one burning exception: Rue. The woman he can't stop thinking about. The woman who's off-limits to him.

Torn between loyalty and an undeniable attraction, Rue and Eli throw caution out the lab and the boardroom windows. Their affair is secret, no-strings-attached, and has a built-in deadline: the day one of their companies will prevail. But the heart is risky business - one that plays for keeps.

2. The Housemaid Is Watching

Author: Freida McFadden

Publisher: Poisoned Pen Press

Print Length: 400 pages

Release Date: 11 June 2024

Price: ₹364(price may vary)

Review

A twisting, pulse-pounding thriller from Freida McFadden, the New York Times, Sunday Times and USA Today bestselling author of The Housemaid and The Coworker.

The third book in the Housemaid series.

"You must be our new neighbors!" Mrs. Lowell gushes and waves across the picket fence. I clutch my daughter's hand and smile back: but the second Mrs. Lowell sees my husband a strange expression crosses her face. In that moment I make a promise. We finally have a family home. My past is far, far behind us. And I'll do anything to keep it that way…

I used to clean other people's houses―now, I can't believe this home is actually mine. The charming kitchen, the quiet cul-de-sac, the huge yard where my kids can play. My husband and I saved for years to give our children the life they deserve.

Even though I'm wary of our new neighbor Mrs. Lowell, when she invites us over for dinner it's our chance to make friends. Her maid opens the door wearing a white apron, her hair in a tight bun. I know exactly what it's like to be in her shoes. But her cold stare gives me chills…

The Lowells' maid isn't the only strange thing on our street. I'm sure I see a shadowy figure watching us. My husband leaves the house late at night. And when I meet a woman who lives across the way, her words chill me to the bone: Be careful of your neighbors.

Did I make a terrible mistake moving my family here?

Review

वीगन होना क्या होता है? यह शाकाहारी होने से किस तरह से भिन्न है? क्या यह एक विदेशी विचार है जिसकी भारतीय-संस्कृति और परंपरा में कोई जड़ें नहीं हैं? क्या वीगनिज़्म लोगों पर अपने विचारों को थोपता है? जोक्विन फ़ीनिक्स, पामेला एंडरसन, युवाल नोआ हरारी, माइक टायसन, सेरेना विलियम्स आदि विश्व प्रसिद्ध हस्तियों ने क्यों वीगनिज़्म को अंगीकार किया है? इन तमाम प्रश्नों के जवाब आपको इस किताब में मिलेंगे। साथ ही मांसाहार और जीवहत्या के पक्ष में दिए जाने वाले तमाम कुतर्कों का समाधान भी इसमें वैज्ञानिक रीति से कर दिया गया है। यह पुस्तक वीगनवाद में निहित अध्यात्म, पारिस्थितिकी, नैतिकता और तर्कसंगति की भी विस्तार से व्याख्या करती है। भारत सहित पूरी दुनिया में निरंतरता से विकसित हो रहे वीगनिज़्म के कल्ट पर यह हिंदी में पहली प्रामाणिक पुस्तक है और इसे वीगनिज़्म में रुचि रखने वाले प्रश्नोत्तर-शैली की एक उपयोगी हैंडबुक की तरह भी पढ़ सकते हैं।

4. Right Thing, Right Now

Review

If we do what is right, everything else will follow: happiness, success, meaning, reputation, love. This is central to Stoic wisdom. The path isn't always easy, but it is essential, and the alternative - taking the easy route - leads only to cowardice and folly.

In the third book in his bestselling Stoic Virtues series, Ryan Holiday explores the crucial role that integrity plays in every good life. From pillars of upright living like Ulysses S. Grant and Marcus Aurelius, to the cautionary tales of Napoleon and F. Scott Fitzgerald, this book shows us the power of owning our convictions and acting in accordance with our beliefs - and the perils of an ill-formed conscience.

Our conscience, our sense of justice, is our first and our last strength: we can train it, hone it and fortify it, but above all, we must never lose it. This book shows us how.

5. Six of Cups

Author: Neha Bansal

Publisher: Hawakal Publishers

Print Length: 108 pages

Release Date: 14 June 2024

Price: ₹400 (price may vary)

Review

Titled Six of Cups, which is a minor arcana card in a traditional tarot deck that symbolises nostalgia for the good old days, this collection of poems is an ode to the evocative remembrance of sepia-tinged memories, both collective and individual. These memories give a sense of rootedness in an increasingly alienating world. Poems like “Good Old Doordarshan,” “Sibling Squabbles,” and “Supernatural” are light-hearted but stir up memories that will make anyone smile at our common rites of passage. Other poems like “My Grandpa’s Stories,” “Festival Of Lights,” “Paper Boat,” “Birthday Parties,” and “Mint Chutney” evoke a sense of hiraeth for past homes and hearths we can’t go to. Six of Cups is a perfect read for the readers who want to take a trip down memory lane and re-live those memories of the past that make us who we are today.
