Book of the month: MARCH



Dear book lovers,

It is with utmost joy that I welcome you to the month of March . I’m pretty sure you all had an interesting February just like I did. As all book lovers know







Well its time to reveal the book of the month…Drum roll please… The book of the month for March is



Big Little Lies is written by Liane Moriarty and  was published by Penguin in July 2014.  The novel follows the life of three different mothers  including a single mom (Madeline, Celeste and Jane) in the fictional Pirriwee Peninsula near Sydney, Australia. 

Madeline is a force to be reckoned with. She's funny, and passionate, remembers everything and forgives no one. Her ex-husband and his yogi new wife have just moved into her beloved beach side community and their daughter is in the same kindergarten class as Madeline's youngest child. And to top it all off, Madeline's teenage daughter seems to be choosing Madeline;s ex-husband over her.

Celeste is the kind of beautiful woman who makes the world stop and stare. While she may seem a bit flustered at times, who wouldn't be, with those rambunctious twin boys? Now the boys are starting school, Celeste and her husband look set to become the queen and king of the school parent body. But royalty often comes at a price and Celeste is grappling with how much more she is willing to pay.

New to town, single mom Jane is so  young that another mother mistakes her for the nanny. Jane is sad beyond her years and harbors secret doubts about her son. But why? While Madeline and Celeste soon take Jane under their wing, none of them realizes how the arrival of Jane and her inscrutable little boy will affect them all.

There's drinking, arguments and violence and murder at the school trivia night....

The book deals  with the  societal vices of bullying and domestic violence while maintaining a humorous tone.

My favorite expression from this novel is  “Oh, Calamity”  According to the novel, “Oh Calamity”,  was a line from a children’s book that Madeline used to read to her son Fred when he was little.

Big Little Lies was adapted by HBO for a  television miniseries of the same title and started airing on February 19th 2017. The miniseries is star studded with the likes of  Reese Witherspoon who plays Madeline , Nicole Kidman who plays Celeste and Shailene Woodley plays Jane from the novel just to mention a few. But as all book lovers know the book is always better than the movie/ series irrespective of how many stars are in the adaptation.

 Love you all.šŸ’–šŸ’‹

BOOK OF THE MONTH : MARCH, 2021

Dear FictionAddicts, 2021 is already 2 months and 10 days old. I’m not going to give a new year speech, the year is already old and 2020 was a …..well, it was a vibe, mood, cruise, a corona virus year and a forced vacation all wrapped up in one. It’s March and the weather is not friendly at all with the sun scorching everything in its path . Please drink lots of water, stay hydrated, wear a mask and stay safe. This March we will read The Turn of the Key by Ruth Ware and The Other Woman by Sandie Jones   The Turn of the Key by Ruth Ware When Rowan Caine stumbles upon the ad, she was looking for something else completely. But it seemed too good an opportunity to pass on. It was a live-in nanny post, with a very generous salary. When she arrives at Heatherbrae House, Rowan is smitten by the luxurious “smart” home fitted with every modern convenience imaginable, by the beautiful Scottish Highlands and by this picture-perfect family. Her employer Sandra Elincour...

Welcome to the world of a fiction addict!

Hi there lovelies! Welcome to FictionAddictbooks.blogspot.com. I’m so glad to be writing this blog and did I mention this is my first blog.  I had taken a long hiatus from reading for pleasure (a hiatus that's unforgivably long) and only recently returned from the said hiatus. So I kind of have a busy life and all but I decided it was time to go back to my earliest hobby (if reading fiction qualifies as a hobby).  The purpose of FictionAddictbooks blog is to share my journey through the pages of books that I read. I want to share the lows and highs, the suspense, the humor,, the thrills  and all that is in each book that I read with YOU. I hope to do this without boring you. . So come on along with me as we journey into the magical world of  fiction books.

Book of the Month

Book of the Month: February Hello booklovers. Welcome to the month of February. Wasn't it just yesterday, when we were calling out cheerfully,"Happy New Year" to loved ones and friends? Wow! Time keeps sneaking up on us. The book of the month for February is Me before You (Jojo Moyes).  Me before you is the story of William Traynor, who got involved in an accident  which left him confined to a wheelchair. He lived life on the fast lane and had everything going for him until the accident ruined his life. Lou Clark is the girl with no ambitions in life who is employed by the Traynors to take care of their son, Will. But even the chatty Lou could only do so much tor him. She would later learn that he had once attempted taking his own life and her real purpose of supposedly taking care of him was to ensure that he never attempts it again..... Well, I don't think there'll be any dry eyes in the house by the time we are done and dusted with, Me before You. ...
