Azur Like It

Cannes Life Be This Nice??

You must be aware of the Wendy Holden if you are a regular reader & looks to read some humorist content.

Writing in her usual style, Holden has gathered story & humor together. 
Azur Like It is a story of a young journalist, Kate who lives in a northern town named Slackmucklethwaite with her mum, dad &  gran. She works in a magazine called Slackmucklethwaite Mercury & is totally unhappy with her job. She feels like her job is taking her nowhere & she won't be able to get a chance to grow from this small town. Her career took steep step when a corrupt business tycoon, Peter Hardstone takes over the Mercury. He slashes all the budgets & put more advertisements than news or entertainment content in the paper, which pisses everyone off. Cutting off the budget also affected Kate's dream of going to Cannes, France to cover the biggest film festival.

While the things are going so down, uneventful & dull for Kate, the story takes a turn & she gets to meet Hardstone's son Nat Hardstone, who also joins the office as a punishment from his father. He draws his plans around Kate & used her to reach Cote d'Azur for the Cannes festival so that he could make his contacts for entering into the film industry. 

Kate, an innocent girl, gets into his trap and even pays for his plane fares while herself traveling in economy class. As expected, Nat abandons her from the flight and never meets her until she sees him at the festival with, of course, we know the diva Champagne D'Vyne! They ran a fling that had no end like other ones of Champagne. 

The story has some very interesting moves that will direct your attention entirely on to the novel and you would want to know that what is going to happen next. 

Kate get to meet Celia in Cote D'Azur with her cheating husband who late Celia kicks off. Together, Celia and Kate does some adventures like putting the hotel back into running condition, in which they were staying. 
Kate also meets Fabien here, who is an intelligent painter and they fall in love later. There are some catchy scenes also scripted about both of them. 
Later on Kate gets few jobs in Azur like working in a low profile, only magazine of teh island. The other job she get is at the house of Comtese who happens to have some relationships with people close to Kate. To get to know that, you will need to read this novel. 

The natural scenery of Cote D'Azur is beautifully described by Wendy that will make you going for the place. 
I totally loved this novel like other ones from Wendy Holden. She makes simple scenerios into the funny ones that you enjoy reading them. 
Do read Azur Like It if you want to change your reading taste from serious to the humorous. 
I gave this novel 7.5 out of 10.

The world is always together on one thing and that is Harry Potter! No matter from which region you are, you will remain a Potter fan. The Harry Potter mania sparked once again globally as the new book Harry Potter and the cursed child hit the market. Everyone attended the mega event in their respective countries by showing up in the outfits and disguising as the Harry Potter book characters.

But, while we all are celebrating the return of this series, there is a major announcement from the author J. K Rowling that is this going to be the last book of the Harry Potter series. It broke your heart, we know! So did ours. Ouch!

She revealed this bigger news to us when she was asked by a reporter that “Whether there will any other story series based on Harry Potter ?” And Rowling was simply like, “No, No”. She further added that “We are done with the Harry now. Harry had a long way to go that we are now with the next generation reading it, but it is the end of this magnificent series”.

The new book is the script of the play named after Harry Potter and the cursed child that is played in London.

She also said that she never wanted to write another book of Harry Potter after the final seventh book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, but this play is a promising one for the new generation that you will find something very unique.

So fans, you are not entirely left disappointed, but a lot with the anticipation to watch in the stage play of Harry Potter and the cursed child! 

Th1rteen R3asons Why!!!

You Cant Stop the Future. You Cant Rewind the Past.The Only Way to Learn the Secret.. is to Press PLAY"!!

This certainly sounds really horrible, but it is the truth. Not everyone lets go of your words or acts like everyone else and brush it off. Psychological damages haunt the lives of many so deeply. Just like it did with Hannah Baker. 
The International Best Selling Debut novel by Jay Asher explains the very extensive side of feelings that someone could go through. 
I was entirely hooked to it till I get to know all the 13 people & what they have to do with Hannah's suicide. I was angry, heart wrenched, sad & lost as I was getting to know that really how these people becomes so mean that they do not care about other person's feelings. 

The story takes a lead when the other main character Clay Jensen comes home and find this package for him, which contained recorded tapes with a map from his fellow student, Hannah in high school. 
Clay's life jumps upside down when it reveals to him that these tapes are from Hannah, who has committed suicide a few days back. She recorded those tapes before her death so that she could tell everyone that what were the reasons behind taking such extreme step. 

As the name of this novel suggests, there are thirteen reasons involved related to the thirteen people who closely perturb the life of Hannah and are responsible for her death. Most of them are from her school. 
Hannah is mainly talking about the bully, betrayals, liars, and selfish friend's of hers who ran after social statuses, show offs and faux relationships instead of valuing the caring, loving, true and honest people. Many of her male and female friends used her too for their own benefits when she was considering them her very good friends. 

Just like that, she has also talked about those who had been nice to her (like Clay). 
Another character named Tony is the one who is not present in the tapes, but somehow linked to the Hannah. 
Asher has beautifully joined the whole story together with some very valuable lessons that every youngster must keep in mind. 
The scenarios are mostly related to the stories told in the tapes revolving mostly around young age relationship, such as one is when Hannah gets to do her first kiss with her long time crush Justin Foley, but he came out as a player. 
Then there is a guy named Tyler, whom she had called Peeping Tom because he used to peep her in her room with his camera, which sort of harassed her and made her feel unsafe in her own house. 
A girl named Courtney, who used Hannah for saving her image by being good to everyone. 
The story continues with all these characters who broke Hannah's heart and lift her trust from every sort of friendship, love and good deeds. 

Jay Asher has written this novel with simplicity and has put every sentiment very well in its place that nowhere leaves you with the thought that this is his first fiction novel ever. 

Not only for the elders, but this is a novel worth reading for the grownups as well.
