We have reviewed ten books so far in THE BOOK GULLY, with our very first review out, on the 1.09.2021, exactly forty-five days ago. The excitement to read the books are always high, sometimes higher than usual. At times, the excitement grows through the book, and ends with a blissful satisfaction that only a reader can experience. Other times, the excitement wears out after a few pages, and then the only pursuit that remains is honoring the commitment of finishing what we started. Especially so, because that’s what we do here at TBG. We read, so we can suggest you, which ones to skip and which ones to run for, which ones you can just borrow for a one time read, and which ones are to be treasured life long, for diving again and again in their magical worlds.
If you have not yet gone through our individual published reviews, here is the list of the ten books that we have reviewed so far:
Dreams from My Father
by Barack Obama (Non-fiction/ Memoir)
Love Story by Erich Segal (Fiction/ Romance)
Poor Economics by Abhijit V Banerjee & Esther Duflo (Non-fiction/ Experimental economics in poor countries for the poorer sections of the society)
The Hunt for Rama’s Bow by Suhail Mathur (Fiction/ Drama based on Indian Mythology)
Daily Inspiration by Robin Sharma (Non-fiction/ Self-help)

A Chance at Happiness by Aseem Vadehra (Fiction/ Short-stories)
Loving Pablo Hating Escobar by Virginia Vallejo (Non-fiction/ Memoir)
Yes, My Accent is Real by Kunal Nayyar (Non-fiction/ Memoir)
Out of these ten, it is definitely impossible to pick just one favorite, so we are gonna give you not one, not two, not three either. Four it is! Four personal favorites that the TBG team can indulge in ‘n’ number of times, where ‘n’ stands for any number more than two. Oh! What a joy it was to read these books, again, and yet again. In no specific order, below is the list:
Yes, My Accent is Real by Kunal Nayyar (Non-fiction/ Memoir)
The Fault in Our Stars by John Green (Fiction/ Teen Romance)
Dreams from My Father by Barack Obama (Non-fiction/ Memoir)
The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck by Mark Manson (Non-fiction/ Self-help)
We sincerely hope, that these four beauties make it to your sacred space. (Yes, we meant the book shelve.)
Happy Reading!
Love,
TBG
