Book Review : A to Z - poem for an Idiom

Why A to Z - poem for an Idiom by Prakash Hegade?

I know Prakash from NaNoWriMo 2016. He was true inspirer, taking lead, arranging virtual write ups and encouraging us all to join in. When I first found out about his theme in A to Z Challenge, it amazed me - An idiom for that day's alphabet followed by poetry!

I will be honest, poetry is not my cup of tea. Whenever I attempted to write poetry, it didn't look anything like one remotely. As a result, I have the utmost respect for those who write beautiful poetry. Prakash has taken it to a whole new level by taking up an idiom for an alphabet and write poetry for that. I was awestruck by the creativity behind the idea.

Highlights of the book 

I finished the book in one go. I couldn't keep it down once I started enjoying it. The best part was all of them were so simple, poetic and yet logical (I always thought logic & poetry don't go hand in hand). 

My Takeaways from the book

Below are my personal favourites from the book,

C – Clear as mud
G – Guinea pigs
H – Hop skip and jump
I - ichi-go ichi-e
K – Kangaroo court
M – Mind your P’s and Q’s
P – Pyrrhic Victory
U – Ugly duckling
W – Walk a mile in my shoes
Z – Zip it

Book Review : Picky Eaters – Guaranteed hacks to make you happy

As part of the #BlogchatterEbookCarnival, 35 ebooks were published in May after a successful completion of #AtoZChallenge by many participants across the world. Blogchatter team provided this wonderful platform to the first time authors like me.

Why Picky Eaters – Guaranteed hacks to make you happy by Amrita Basu & Abhijit Misra?

I have numerous nephews & nieces. Most of them are picky eaters. I was really curious to read the authors' take on the topic and see if I can provide my cousins and friends with some useful tips.

Highlights of the book 

The authors have kept the book quick and easy read. It is full of tips with links to articles for elaborate reading, which made it really fuss free for me to read the simple tips and spend extra time reading about the topics which mattered to me the most.

Key takeaways for me

Healthy eating habits have to start from the parents themselves. The best part is all the tips given in the book are simple and easy to follow, but they can go a long way to form healthy eating habits in children.
