There’s no better genre than Young Adult to really get you back in the reading groove. And with the film adaptatio n, starring Dakota Fanning & Justice Sm ith, out later this year, now would be the perfect time to grab this book. Not goi ng to lie, if you’ve read ‘The Fault in Our Sta rs’ or seen the film or even lolled at the me mes flooding the internet, then this book will be all too familiar territory to you. Still, it’s got a great plot & really believable charac ters. Personally, I’m glad there are so ma ny books out now showing teenage girls overco ming emotional adversity with both grit & grace. Predictable, yes. Corny, yes. But, pure. A book that will restore your faith in life aft er grief.

Graphic novel nerds the world over rejoiced that HBO is developing a TV Series based on the cult classic, ‘Watchmen’. Set in an alternate past, where President Nixon has already successfully completed three terms, the US has won the war in Vietnam & established an uneasy peace with the USSR, thanks in large part to the presence of Dr. Manhattan, the US’s superhuman super… hero? It’s hard to hang that label on Dr. Manhattan, given his increasing distance from what it even means to be human. The shifting political climate in the US has also meant that other caped crusaders are declared illegal even as the rest of the country implodes. A fascinating & timeless dissection of what it really means to be a caped crusader, ‘Watchmen’ is a novel that is bursting at the seams with ideas, suspense & ultimately the miraculous circularity of human lives.

Watchmen


weekend | BOOK

Elevation by Stephen King

I love that Stephen King is moving away from the dystopia of his youth towards a more utopian future. It makes for a refreshing change of pace from the Master of Horror. This is a Stephen King novella that has nothing particularly suspenseful about it. Unless you count losing weight AND mass to be basis enough for a mystery. Which, granted, it is… BUT! This is a wonderfully soothing book to read with lovely prose. The whole thing is all of a hundred & thirty-two pages, easily devoured in one sitting. Perfect for when the power goes out & you want just a slight shiver running up your spine.

Probably one of the best cheesecakes in Lahore, Pasta Lavista left me in awe. With an expectation of a traditional old-school cheesecake in mind, I wasn’t disappointed and it was love at first bite. We finally have a Lahori version of Burning Brownie!

Milk Cake

A desi take on the regular milk cake, this cardamom infused dessert melts in your mouth. It reminds us of a tres leches cake & cardamom tea combo. Despite being drenched in condensed & evaporated milk AND heavy cream this dessert is not sickly sweet. We’re obsessed.
