Gixxer the golden retriever is an innocent and adorable character. Full of mischief and utterly spoiled by his loving pawrents. I love the chapter “Terrible Two” which I always thought only apply to human children. Never knew it applied to dogs too. This book is entertaining and funny with Gixxer’s voice saying stuff like “I got to sniff every blade of grass and bush along the way. In a dog’s world that is just like reading a really good gossip magazine “. Paws up for this pawsome book!

Yes, God is a Mathematician: The secret scientific model of Creation and Reality encoded within the Vedas is revealed in the form of a story by Dhanesh Kumar M

This book will satisfy the inner geek or mathematician in you. Unfortunately, the idea and concept presented was way over my head although the author did his best to present his theories in a classroom environment for the readers. There are many diagrams and pictures in this book, so it’s best to read it in a tablet instead of a monochrome Kindle. At the end of the day, one really do not need math or science to believe in a higher power. ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Annis the lead female character while brave is often agonizingly insecure in Alden’s commitment to her. I note with amusement women drank alcohol even w...
