What Burns Remains by Sanyasi is a collection of poetry from the edge of Faith, Fire and Fracture. The book is also the winner of 21st century Emily Dickson Award. The book is powerful and very unapologetically honest, raw.

We see a mix of mythology and contemporary, both added in this mixture of poems written by the author. It is raw, a very well reflection of human hypocrisy and much more. It talks about ancient beliefs as well as modern.

The book definitely makes you think even after it's finished. It's not a comfort poetry read, but a book which encourages you to think deeper and progress better.

Song of the Six Realms by Judy I. Lin, an individual fantasy novel set in the backdrops of Chinese mythology. The book felt like a very long xianxia / wuxia drama.

The plot was all over the place and I felt very lost. The whole story started to make sense only during the last 20% of the book. The thought behind the whole book felt very true and whimsical.

The world building went throughout the book which made the characters feel very shallow and not very well developed.

Overall, a great addition to the asian literature, but I am hoping the narration and storytelling side of the author changes in the future books.

Happy Pub Day to You Can Have It All by Gaur Gopal Das

✨ Unlock the Secrets to a Great Life by Gaur Gopal Das. A Monk’s Guide to Balance, Purpose, Happiness and Inner Peace

This is the first book I would like to start my 2026 year with! The perfect book for growth, setting for new goals for the year and sticking to the resolutions.

About the book:

Most of us spend our lives chasing our dreams - happiness, love, good health, financial freedom, security and more.

- But can we really have it all?

On a cool November morning, Gaur Gopal Das arrives in Jaisalmer to attend his friend Rakesh Arora's son's three-day-long wedding festivities where he meets the Arora clan and the soon-to-be bride's family. As the wedding day approaches and an unexpected visitor makes an appearance, he observes the storm that threatens to tear apart the two families.

In the course of his conversations with his hosts and their guests, through his unassuming presence, he unearths the secret fears and desires they guard fiercely in their hearts and offers them steadying counsel even as he reveals his own journey through life's vicissitudes.

You Can Have It All is Gaur Gopal Das's most personal and profound narrative yet, a captivating book that presents a transformative and radical path for those of us caught between ambition and fulfilment, between striving and being. Marked by his iconic humour, deep empathy and gentle wisdom, it urges us to understand how perspective shapes our reality, learn to recognize and overcome our blind spots, and develop the self-compassion we need to better navigate this beautiful, complicated thing we call life.

Ultraviolet Deception is the first book in the series by D. Hansen. It is heavy on the sci-fi plot, but at the same time, the characters felt very real and the plot was engaging.

I especially enjoyed the lucid and easy-flowing writing style of the author. It made the book even more engaging and entertaining. I am definitely looking forward to more books in this universe and more character development.

Jenna, our main protagonist, is a genetically modified teenager who is struggling to balance her normal life with the changes she is going through as a teen and a clone. The book is about what the future holds, technological advancement, and finding your own identity.
