Books to Look out for July!

To All the book lovers out there, a new month is here and we have more new books to read. There is no such thing as “too many books”. Here are the top 5 books we are looking forward to. You can get a copy of these books in our retail store Sapna book house. Sapna book house has a wide collection of over 5, 50,000 books. You can check it out.

Love Murder by Saul Black — Crime Thriller 

It is spine-chilling serial-killer thriller featuring homicide detective Valerie Hart from the author of the critically-acclaimed THE KILLING LESSONS.  It moves at a cracking pace and as the crimes unfold they seem to hit very close to home for Valerie Hart our heroine.  As Valerie races against time to catch the masked killer the author ratchets up the tension. There are a number of twists as the novel races to an exciting conclusion. Love Murder is everything you want from a crime thriller. 

Don't Close Your Eyes by Holly Seddon — Psychological Suspense
A gripping novel of psychological suspense centered on two sisters whose lives have taken them apart, and the shocking family secrets that bind them together. This is a complex story about families and the relationships within. Love, hate, jealousy, abuse-it's all here. Adults making decisions that forever change the lives. The novel is told across two timelines when Robin and Sarah are both younger and living with their parents in the late eighties and early nineties and in the present day. "Don't Close Your Eyes" is a highly addictive compulsive “I don’t want to put this down “book that has so many Twists that you genuinely will not see coming.

The Body in the Clouds by Ashley Hay — Contemporary Fiction 
The Body in the Clouds tells the story of one extraordinary moment - a man falling from the sky, and surviving - and of three men who see it, in different ways and different times, as they stand on the same piece of land. It is full of rich imagery which captures the mood of the place and the time.  This skillfully written tale weaves back and forth between characters, revealing a hint of the connection of humanity through the ages.

The Last Magician by Lisa Maxwell
The Last Magician – one of my most anticipated releases for 2017. Magic, time travel, and historical fiction all rolled into one book. In one word it’s epic. The story jumps around a bit in the beginning to different time periods to set the stage. We start off in New York at the turn of the twentieth century. From the amazing characters to the action, the magic, the world building, the descriptions, and just about everything else in The Last Magician is tremendously well portrayed. This twisty tale of alchemy and magic in Gilded Age New York will keep you guessing until the very last page.

The Lying Game by Ruth Ware
Four teenage girls forge a powerful friendship at boarding school. They spend virtually every spare moment together. The girls play a game in which the goal is lying successfully. When their idyllic life is suddenly shattered by tragedy, they must go their separate ways. Seventeen years later, the girls are together again and it feels like they've never been apart. Soon, though, the past lies come back to haunt the present. The story keeps you spellbound as it unfolds- there's never a dull moment. The entire novel is so fast paced you don't feel cheated at all.

The tale is written in her point of view and we are able to feel every emotion she emotes.  By the end of the book, Karen Dionne makes us want to go through this all over again.

The story has the potential to get under our skin and makes us stay in the sense of shock towards the end of the book.

The Lost Letter by Jillian Cantor

The writer gives us a historical, heart-warming love story inspired by real resistance workers during World War II Austria, and the mysterious love letter that connects generations of Jewish families. The tale is set in two time periods and author blends the story well between the years it feels flawless. Jillian captivates us from the beginning. The characters feel very lively and make us emote along with them in several places. It is a perfect book to read and ponder about.

A book is the best guide in a child's life



A guide is someone who leads a child to new paths while being the companion. He or she is a person who lets them discover their surroundings while they make them feel safe from any harm. They ensure that the child is getting appropriate learning experiences and provide guidance at every step.

Various stages in a child’s life, when he experiences things he has never experienced before, learning aspects of self and others that they are not aware of, requires a person whom they trust. Children need to believe that this person will keep them safe and provide them with any help necessary. It is at this tender age children require the sense of security which will enhance their way of dealing with their lives in the future.

A guide can impact the way a child’s attitude is formed. Attitude is learnt and observing and learning it from the right people is always beneficial. A guide can help a child maintain a positive attitude towards life and learn all that he or she can from their life experiences. A guide can also help the child develop qualities that will always help them be motivated in life and achieve as much success as they can.

Children should be encouraged to express feelings and ideas in a safe environment so that the guide can always monitor the child’s thoughts for any signs of negativity or anxiety. A guide will always have an important role in the child’s life, making him/her more comfortable to share their thoughts with the guide, learn more from them and voice their concerns.

Children look up to the important people in their lives, their parents, teachers, and guides. This helps them shape how they act in public places, making decisions which are difficult to make, or have and maintain relationships. Hence it is significant that these important people who are their role models should always hold that positive place in the child’s life.
