You are the first dream, the only dream I ever was unable to stop myself from dreaming. You are the first dream of my soul, and from that dream I hope will come all other dreams, a lifetime’s worth. - Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Prince

“Show me!” Feyre called, yelling behind the velvet curtain. Mor was trying on bridesmaid dress after bridesmaid dress, giving Feyre her own personal runway show.

Which she deserved. She was the bride-to-be, after all.

“Alright, okay,” Mor muttered from inside of the dressing room. “This one has a low back and a high neckline. And, I must say, my ass looks fantastic.”

Feyre laughed but that laughter faded once Mor came out, because she was right - she looked stunning. It hugged her body without being too risque and the deep, lavender color suited her perfectly.

“I love that,” Feyre said, eyes wide. “It’s perfect. Even the color. That’s our color. That’s your dress. You’re getting that.”

“Am I?” Mor asked.

“Yes, and if you don’t, I’m kicking you out of the bridal party.”

Mor snorted. “Fine. I accept. Now, I’m making you try on dresses.”

“My sisters should be here,” Feyre said, just as she had every other time Mor had suggested otherwise.

“You don’t have to get one today,” Mor said. “Please? Just try on a few then we can go get lunch.”

“Fine,” Feyre groaned, hopping up from the couch she was sitting on.

The owner of the boutique came over and helped Feyre into a room before Mor, now changed into her shorts and tank top, went crazy, bringing her a handful of dresses.

“Take your time,” Mor called, closing the curtain behind her. “I’ll be sitting right out here, let me know if you need help.”

Feyre sighed, taking in the line up of dresses before her. At first, she slipped on a ballgown, but the moment she stepped out of the dressing room and looked into the mirror, she wanted to yank it off her body and burn it. Too puffy, too frilly. She felt like she was going to prom - been there, done that. She went through two more that even Mor had cringed at before setting her eyes on a slim fit, beaded gown with an open back and a low, sweetheart neckline. It had thin straps and a long, beautiful lace train.

Feyre slipped it on.

She stepped out of her dressing room and looked into the mirror.

Mor gasped, eyes lined with tears.

“Feyre,” she breathed.

“I know,” Feyre said, shaking her head. “Damn you, Mor! I was supposed to wait for my sisters!”

They both broke into a fit of laughter as Feyre admired the dress in the mirror. It was perfect. It was flawless. There was nothing about it that Feyre didn’t like.

Rhysand wouldn’t be able to keep his hands off of her.

She was barely able to keep her hands off of herself.

It was just over her budget; but, she didn’t really care. She wouldn’t be telling Rhysand, who she scolded just the night before about ordering too many flowers - but, she didn’t really care. She would only ever have one wedding dress.

“How long will it take for this dress to come in if I ordered it today?” Feyre asked.

The owner went to a little computer where she typed away for a minute before saying, “Six months.”

All the breath left Feyre’s body.

But Mor wasn’t taking that shit.

“There isn’t any way it can get in sooner?” Mor asked. “Can she buy the one she has on and have it fitted? She’s getting married in October and that dress needs to be on her body when the day comes.”

The owner looked back and forth between Mor and Feyre.

Her lips thinned. “I will see what I can do.”

She went back to work on her computer as Mor snapped an endless string of pictures on her phone of Feyre in her dress, which she promised to send to Elain.

Five minutes later, Elain had sent a reply: G E T I T N O W

Amren’s replying text was similar: If she doesn’t get that dress I will break in after hours and steal it for her.

If Elain approved, it was a must.

If Amren was talking about breaking the law, it wasn’t unusual, but it was still a must.

The owner was still trying to figure out a way to get it in sooner, now speaking to someone on the phone in hushed tones.

Feyre looked in the mirror, again. It was beautiful. Stunning. She could imagine it, paired with a simple pair of heels and a long, simple veil. She could picture Rhysand’s face as she walked toward him in the dress. He would watch her with wide, teary eyes, and a small smile, full of utter adoration.

It was the dress.

Half an hour had passed before the owner rejoined them. The elderly woman sighed, as if all of her energy had been sucked away. “I can get it here in two months-”

Feyre heard nothing else because Mor had jumped up, off the couch, and was running to Feyre with her arms wide open. Laughing, Feyre let Mor embrace her, all while picturing her wedding day.

What a perfect day it would be.

~~~~~

Cassian had gone for a jog along the Sidra, listening to his hype playlist through his earbuds. It was a perfect Sunday afternoon. The sun was bright, high in the sky, not a cloud to be seen. The flowing waters of the Sidra were sparkling beside him.

Even Bryaxis had a little pep in his step, when usually he was trailing behind Cassian and whining after a mile.

They stopped near a little park where Cassian plopped down in the grass, Bryaxis beside him. After taking a drink from his water bottle, he squirted some into Bryaxis’ mouth, too, when his phone went off.

Nesta’s name popped up on his screen.

All of these movies you’re making me watch from the 80s are weird as fuck.

Cassian smiled at his screen before typing back, Which one are you watching now?

It was no secret that Cassian loved movies, so when Nesta asked for recommendations, he had given her a longass list and a giant stack from his personal collection. She had been living with Elain for about two weeks now, and was loving her sister’s company. Cassian hadn’t seen her much, though. He helped her move in, as he promised he would, but he was aware she needed space for now, and he was okay giving her that.

Didn’t keep them from having little text conversations nearly every day, though.

The Lost Boys, she sent back, with a little vampire emoji.

What?? Cassian texted. It’s a classic!

Oh, please, she replied. It’s obvious why you’re such a fan.

Bryaxis had climbed onto his owner’s lap and Cassian was scratching his head, between his ears, when he sent, And why is that?

It took her a minute to reply in which Cassian used to stretch out his long, sweaty legs.

Then the reply came: Bc you’re basically Michael

Cassian cocked his head to the side, even though she wasn’t around to see it. Untrue.

He could imagine her rolling her eyes. Especially when he got her text back. Long hair, motorcycle, thinks he’s hot as shit? Yeah, you’re Michael.

Cassian looked down at Bryaxis. “Nesta’s being mean, Ax.”

Bryaxis’s tail went wild at the mention of her name.

Cassian’s only reply was, I am hot as shit.

Nesta replied with the eye-rolling emoji.

Then, she sent, I’m almost done with the stack you gave me, and as weird as they may be, I wouldn’t mind if you brought me some more?

Before Cassian could reply, Nesta followed the text with, Maybe tomorrow? If you’re not busy after work.

Cassian looked back down to Bryaxis as he grinned. He didn’t know why he was grinning, felt ridiculous at grinning to himself and his dog in the middle of a crowded park, but he couldn’t stop that stupid little grin.

Sure. I’ll be over around 6?

Six gave him enough time to run home, shower, and grab another stack of DVDs she would surely be calling weird as fuck in no time.

Cassian finished stretching, did thirty sit-ups, and was back on his feet, Bryaxis’s leash in hand when Nesta replied: Perfect.

~~~~~

Elain looked at her phone, where she had set a timer.

It had only been fifteen seconds.

The bathroom was small, but she paced back and forth relentlessly. She had chugged half a gallon of water, Nesta watching her curiously as she did so, before excusing herself to go to the bathroom.

They had been watching some vampire movie from the 80s. Not exactly Elain’s thing. She was glad for any excuse that politely removed her from the room.

Even if said excuse was anxiety ridden.

Another glance at her phone.

Thirty seconds.

Her pacing continued, her fingers drumming wildly against her thighs.

It wouldn’t be the worst thing, right? I mean...Azriel would be great, of course, but it certainly wasn’t ideal. They had only been dating a few months, only began sleeping with each other the month before.

If it was true, it must have happened that first night, or one of the nights soon after.

It was too soon.

Elain’s anxiety shot through the roof.

She looked at her phone.

Forty-five seconds.

Two minutes felt like a lifetime when everything was on the line.

She was only a week late, but even when she was barely eating, her period had always remained normal - perfectly spaced out, returning like clockwork the third week of every month.

Her eyes met her phone.

One minute down.

One minute to go.

“It’s okay,” she breathed, shaking out her hands, as if that would somehow make the situation better. “It’s alright. Breathe.”

By the Cauldron, what if it was positive?

Would it really be okay?

Azriel would freak out, without a doubt.

He already had Mila. She couldn’t add more onto his plate.

She looked at her phone.

One minute, twenty seconds.

But he was so good with Mila. He would be an amazing father. So gentle and kind, so loving and passionate.

But would he want to have kids with Elain?

She imagined he hadn’t even thought about such a thing yet. Elain hadn’t even thought about it, not until she went eight days over her start day without her period.

For the Mother’s sake, they hadn’t even used the word love with one another yet.

Phone.

One minute, forty-seconds.

Elain couldn’t breathe. She slumped down to the floor, on top of the gray, fluffy rug, and closed her eyes.

In, out.

Don’t panic.

Panic doesn’t help.

But she couldn’t help it. Her eyes began to water, the tears trickling down her pale cheeks.

She suddenly had a feeling that everything was about to change. She was a woman. She knew her body. Either it had gone into shock with all the lifestyle changes she had made in the recent weeks, or this was all real.

Her timer went off, and her eyes shot open.

She took her phone off the counter and silenced the timer.

Then, with a shaky hand, she pulled the test off the counter.

Pregnant.

She read it twice, ten times, twenty times, that single word the only word she could think of.

She was pregnant.

Pregnant.

With child.

With Azriel’s child.

A fist pounded on the door, scaring Elain shitless. She swore, quietly, scrambling up from the floor.

“Hey, it’s Az. Nesta said you came upstairs. I assume you’re in there, since….well, you’re not anywhere else up here. Hope you don’t mind me coming by early. I dropped Mila off with Mor and Feyre to look for a flower girl dress. I was told I’m not allowed to see it before the wedding day, so...”

Elain took a deep breath, hoping her voice remained steady when she said, “Hey! Oh, I’m just...fixing my contacts.”

A pause. “Okay. I’ll go downstairs and wait with Nesta. I’ll catch the end of The Lost Boys.”

“Great,” Elain said, and her voice broke.

Azriel didn’t move from the other side of the door. She could see the shadows from his feet. “You okay? You sound upset.”

“No, no, I’m fine,” she promised him, although she obviously wasn’t. “Just a little emotional today.”

“Alright,” Azriel said, uncertainly. “Can I open the door?”

“I’m naked,” she blurted.

“While putting in contacts?” Azriel said, huffing a laugh. “Not that it’s anything I haven’t seen before.”

The doorknob turned, and Elain cursed herself for not locking the door.

She quickly hid the test stick behind her back as he came in.

He took one look at her red cheeks, her blurry eyes, and frowned. “Hey…”

She was frozen in place as he stepped toward her, as he took her face into his hands and wiped away her tears. “What’s wrong?”

She shook her head, and Azriel pulled her into his arms.

His body stilled.

He was taller than her by quite a bit, no doubt looking down as she planted her face into his chest.

Down at Elain’s hands, behind her back, gripping the test so hard that her knuckles were white.

Azriel reached around her and took it from her hands. He stepped back, looking down at it.

Pregnant.

He took a step back, studied it as if he wasn’t seeing it correctly.

His face was unreadable.

Elain’s hands flew over her mouth as she broke into a sob.

Azriel’s gaze jerked up, his eyes widened as she cried. “Hey, hey, no..”

He set the test down on the counter and pulled Elain into his arms. He held her tightly against him as she wept.

“I’m sorry,” she choked out, voice muffled against his shirt.

“About what?” he whispered. “You don’t have to apologize, El. Okay? Don’t apologize.”

She nodded, and when she looked up at him, his hazel eyes shone. “Please tell me what you’re thinking.”

He hesitated, his hands still rubbing her back. “I’m not….I’m in shock, I guess. But, I’m not….mad, Elain, I think you think I’m mad.”

She took a deep, shaky breath and nodded. “I’m in shock, too.”

“Okay,” he breathed. “Well, that’s good.”

Elain laughed, softly. “How is that good?”

“Pretty sure shock is normal in these situations,” he said, quietly.

All the tension left Elain’s shoulders. “I’m scared.”

“About what?” he asked, voice low.

“All of it,” she said. “Carrying a child, birthing a child, and everything that comes after that. And you...Azriel…” Her words trailed off, but Azriel didn’t say anything. He watched her and waited, patiently. “You would be an amazing dad, Az, but I don’t want to trap you.”

His brows furrowed as he brushed her newly fallen tears away. “Is that what you think? That I would stay with you because you’re pregnant? Or, that I would even want to leave you in the first place?”

Elain looked down. She shrugged. She wasn’t sure what she thought, wasn’t sure how to sort her thoughts.

Azriel lifted her chin back up with his fingers. “Do you want to have this baby?”

It was the same question that Elain had stayed up the night before asking herself, over and over again. If it’s positive, do you want to keep it? Elain laid her palms flat against his chest, feeling the hard muscle beneath. Although afraid, she felt completely confident when she answered, “Yes.”

Azriel smiled, tentatively, and nodded. “Then I’m going to be here, okay? You’re not trapping me, Elain. You couldn’t trap me if you tried. I know we’ve been together for a few months, and we’re still in that honeymoon stage, and I won’t pretend that I know what the future holds....But I do know that I love you.” He kissed her forehead. “And I’m not going anywhere. We’re going to do this, and it’s going to be okay, okay?”

Elain laid her palm against his cheek, brushing away the tear he had that fell. “You love me?”

She knew Azriel, knew he didn’t say things unless they were true. And, after talking with Mor, she knew Azriel had never said that word to another woman.

Azriel’s eyes softened. “I do. But, you don’t have to-”

“I love you, too,” she breathed, interrupting his modesty.

And it was true.

Yes, she had loved Graysen, but it was a false love. She loved the idea of Graysen, loved the life they had built, but it wasn’t true, Graysen had proven that in the end.

But with Azriel…

Azriel was truth, kindness, gentleness, passion, genuity, love. He was everything she needed for herself, all wrapped up into one, perfectly imperfect man.

And she loved that about him.

She loved him.

He smiled down at her, and it was one of those smiles that she had only seen a handful of times from him. His teeth showed, his eyes went bright, his plump lips curved upward. That smile...it was an image that Elain kept in her memory for her darkest of days.

Top New YA Books in March 2020

Deathless Divide by Justina Ireland

Type: Novel (Second in series) Publisher: Balzer + Bray Release date: 2/4/20

Den of Geek says: Justina Ireland’s Dread Nation was a buzzy historical zombie novel with a keen awareness of racial dynamics in Civil War-era America. The sequel looks to be just as intense as the first.

Publisher’s summary: The sequel to the New York Times bestselling epic Dread Nation is an unforgettable journey of revenge and salvation across a divided America.

After the fall of Summerland, Jane McKeene hoped her life would get simpler: Get out of town, stay alive, and head west to California to find her mother.

But nothing is easy when you’re a girl trained in putting down the restless dead, and a devastating loss on the road to a protected village called Nicodemus has Jane questioning everything she thought she knew about surviving in 1880s America.

What’s more, this safe haven is not what it appears—as Jane discovers when she sees familiar faces from Summerland amid this new society. Caught between mysteries and lies, the undead, and her own inner demons, Jane soon finds herself on a dark path of blood and violence that threatens to consume her.

But she won’t be in it alone.

Katherine Deveraux never expected to be allied with Jane McKeene. But after the hell she has endured, she knows friends are hard to come by—and that Jane needs her too, whether Jane wants to admit it or not.

Watching Jane’s back, however, is more than she bargained for, and when they both reach a breaking point, it’s up to Katherine to keep hope alive—even as she begins to fear that there is no happily-ever-after for girls like her.

Buy Deathless Divide by Justina Ireland on Amazon.

Cast Away: Poems for Our Time by Naomi Shihab Nye

Type: Poetry Publisher: Greenwillow Books Release date: 2/11/2020

Den of Geek says: This unique book of poetry seems perfectly suited to today’s environmental and humanitarian issues. What happens to the things we throw away? What happens to the people who aren’t wanted? The metaphor is rich.

Publisher’s summary: Acclaimed poet and Young People’s Poet Laureate Naomi Shihab Nye shines a spotlight on the things we cast away, from plastic water bottles to those less fortunate, in this collection of more than eighty original and never-before-published poems. A deeply moving, sometimes funny, and always provocative poetry collection for all ages.

“Nye at her engaging, insightful best.”―Kirkus (starred review)

“How much have you thrown away in your lifetime already? Do you ever think about it? Where does this plethora of leavings come from? How long does it take you, even one little you, to fill the can by your desk?”―Naomi Shihab Nye

National Book Award Finalist, Young People’s Poet Laureate, and devoted trash-picker-upper Naomi Shihab Nye explores these questions and more in this original collection of poetry that features more than eighty new poems. “I couldn’t save the world, but I could pick up trash,” she says in her introduction to this stunning volume.

With poems about food wrappers, lost mittens, plastic straws, refugee children, trashy talk, the environment, connection, community, responsibility to the planet, politics, immigration, time, junk mail, trash collectors, garbage trucks, all that we carry and all that we discard, this is a rich, engaging, moving, and sometimes humorous collection for readers ages twelve to adult.

Buy Cast Away: Poems for Our Time on Amazon.

Rebelwing by Andrea Tang

Type: Novel Publisher: Razorbill Release date: 2/25/20

Den of Geek says: Robot dragons? What more to say? The fantastical war story setting and high-energy cast of characters looks like it’ll make this one a good read for fans of Pacific Rim.

Publisher’s summary: Things just got weird for Prudence Wu.

One minute, she’s cashing in on a routine smuggling deal. The next, she’s escaping enforcers on the wings of what very much appears to be a sentient cybernetic dragon.

Pru is used to life throwing her some unpleasant surprises–she goes to prep school, after all, and selling banned media across the border in a country with a ruthless corporate government obviously has its risks. But a cybernetic dragon? That’s new.

She tries to forget about the fact that the only reason she’s not in jail is because some sort of robot saved her, and that she’s going to have to get a new side job now that enforcers are on to her. So she’s not exactly thrilled when Rebelwing shows up again.

Even worse, it’s become increasingly clear that the rogue machine has imprinted on her permanently, which means she’d better figure out this whole piloting-a-dragon thing–fast. Because Rebelwing just happens to be the ridiculously expensive weapon her government needs in a brewing war with its neighbor, and Pru’s the only one who can fly it.

Set in a wonderfully inventive near-future Washington, D.C., this hilarious, defiant debut sparkles with wit and wisdom, deftly exploring media consumption, personal freedoms, and the weight of one life as Pru, rather reluctantly, takes to the skies.

Goongiiiii BehnAaaa

Hi dosto…

kaise hain?

Aaj new kahani ley kar aya hoon aap sab k liye, umeed karta hoon k ye story meri pheli story ki tarah completed rahey… shukriya

Ye story 1 bahi aur behan k mutaliq hai. Bachpaan mein behan bahi k ghar wale (chacha, chachi, mama, mami, aur maa) ka road accident ki waja se inteqal ho gya tha.

Maa k marne k baad baap ne apne dono bachoon ki daikh bhal ki.

Baap ko shayad ye andaza tha k jald wo b apne baachoon ko chor kar apne bachoon ki maa k pas chala jaye ga isi liye us ne dono behan bahi ko matti k bartan banana seekhana shuru kar diya tha.

Is kaam ko dono bache dil jami se seekhtey rahe aur is kam mein wo maharat hasil kartey chale gaye…

Bahi behan dono mein behead piyar tha, bahi apni behna ki har baat bina mangey poori kar deta tha q k.. us ki behan bool nahi sakti thi, bahi har tareeqe se apni behan ko khush rakhne ki poori koshish karta rehta tha, qudrat ki setam zareefi ye thi k road accident mein us bahi ki behan ne bolna chor diya tha…

Wo din aur aaj ka din… bahi apni behan ki har khuwaish kisi na kisi tareeqe se poori karne mein juta rehta tha…

Behan thi b bohat piyari… bohat khubsorat… naat khat… chulbuli… choone par foran daghdaar hone wali jaisi khusboorati thi us k pas… banana wale ne kiya soch kar us ki behan ko banaya ho ga…

If you want to get your Indian Visa Online done within some days, then we help you with it. Visit us and apply hassle-free. A tremendous number of people come from all over the world to seek blessings and taste the purest drop of spirituality from its incredibly beautiful temples.

As everyone knows Himachal is called “the land of Gods” due to its religious significance among foreigners and locals. You can find here a local deity in every village, and from children to the old, everyone listens to the mysterious, intriguing stories from myths and legends narrated to them.

Due to its enchanting charm that always looks untouched, it is probably one of the favourite places of even Gods to stay or live. Your reading this article means you are interested to visit Himachal for its temples that’s why we have prepared a list of 10 most revered temples in Himachal Pradesh so that you can plan your visit and make arrangements to seek blessings from them.

Top 10 must-visit temples in Himachal Pradesh:

1. Jakhoo Temple

Jakhoo Temple is one of the famous temples of Himachal Pradesh. Its height is 8000 feet from the sea level, and it is located in Shimla, which is the capital of the state. The most interesting thing here is the statue of Lord Hanuman.

According to some Hindu religious clerics, it is the very place where Lord Hanuman stooped for a while being on a mission to collect Sanjeevani herb to save the life of Lord Lakshmana. Some of them also say that the God met a sage whose name was Yaaku who guided Hunuman about the location of that herb.

The thing that impresses tourists most is the 108-feet tall statue of the God. And this is the biggest reason that compels people to come here and seek blessings.

2. Tara Devi Temple

Due to being one of the oldest temples in Shimla, Tara Devi Temple is one of the most revered temples in Himachal Pradesh. It was built 250 years ago. Its location is kalka-Shimla Highway near Shogi, and it is 15 km away from Shimla.

Locals say that Tara Devi was Kull Devi, the family deity of the Sen Dynasty. She came from Bengal, and the temple after her name was constructed by Bhupendra Sen.

The temple was built on 50 bigha land, and after sometime it was shifted to a hilltop by Raja Balbir Sen. He did so because he believed it would provide convenience to the Lordess to shower her blessings on everything.

3. Baba Balak Nath Temple

Baba Balak Nath Temple is an ancient temple near the Dhaulagiri range of Himachal Pradesh. This temple is no less than a heaven for visitors. It is most flooded with tourists during the Navratri when a tremendous number of people come to pay their reverence to the Babaji.

Its architectural beauty is beyond words and carved out of a charming hill. It is believed to be the residing point for Baba. Babaji had a considerable amount of reverence for Lord Shiva, and every pilgrim of his keep fast on every Sunday for their reverence.

It is said that the couples suffering from not having children produce a baby when taking blessings from Babaji. The temple is in a cave, and women are not allowed to enter the cave, which is why they worship from outside. To show their devotion, people offer rota (made of jaggery and wheat) to Babaji.

4. Maa Sharvari Temple

Apart from being the honeymoon capital of India, Manali is also famous for its Maa Sharvari Temple, believed to be the Kuldevi of Kullu rulers. Maa Sharvari is regarded as the manifestation of the Lordess Durga.

The location of this temple is just 5 km away from Manali on the bank of the Beas River. If you want to fully enjoy your visit, then do visit this temple in Dussehra festival. This time the deity is taken to Kullu to meet Lord RaghunathJi. And people do this with heart and soul and welcome every tourist with some reverence for the Lordess.

5. Vashisht Temple

Vashisht Temple is one of the most visited temples of Himachal Pradesh, which is famous for its natural sulphur spring. It is located in a village called vashisht, just 3 km away from Manali. There was a sage called Vashisht who used to meditate here; this temple is after his name. We assist you to get your urgent indian visa to travel in India, then do apply for your e tourist visa India within 24-72 hours.

Before entering the temple, people are requested to have a bath that’s why two separate bathing areas are built here for men and women. According to some locals, taking a bath with the water coming from the natural spring here keeps people healthy due to having medicinal properties.

6. Vyas Gufa Temple

Vyas Gufa Temple is the oldest temple in the city, Bilaspur. It is on the bank of River Satluj, which is between the old and new town of Bilaspur. According to legends, Rishi Vyas came here and did penance.

Some people also say that this town is after Vyas, and its former name is Vyaspur. People from all over the world come to this small city and pay their reverence to the amazingly-beautiful temple whose beauty never fades, and which is why it is always brimmed with tourists in all seasons.

7. Bhootnath Temple

This Shiva temple is one of the most famous temples of Himachal Pradesh. It is located in Mandi and dedicated to Lord Shiva. People celebrate Shivratri here with heart and soul and welcome every tourist to join them to taste the drop of spirituality.

That’s why the best time to visit this temple is Shivratri. It seems that spirituality and divine power are spread everywhere, and one can feel the presence of spiritual power when being a part of this festival here. This temple was built in 1527 by Raja Ajber Sen.

8. Chamunda Devi Temple

The name of Chamunda Devi is as soothing as the name of mom in Himachal, which is why people have an endless devotion to this temple. According to a legend, a priest and the King of Kangra prayed to the goddess, which the goddess accepted.

After sometime, the Goddess came in the dream of the king to tell him where to relocate the temple. The king was also told by Goddess that he would find a statue buried at this place, and the king was told to set up the deity in the new temple.

Due to this, it is very easy and convenient to visit the temple that’s why a tremendous number of people from all over the world come here to seek blessings.

9. Naina Devi Ji

Naina Devi Ji Temple is 70 km away from Bilaspur, however, the distance doesn’t affect the devotion and reverence of the people from the whole world. It is believed that this Goddess is an incarnation of Lordess Durga.

It is said that to control the anger of Lord Shiva, Lord Vishnu cut Maa Durga, also called Sati, into 50 pieces and one of her eyes fell here where the temple was built. This temple was built by Raja Bir Chand in the eighth century. Prayers take place here on a daily basis.

10. Jwala Devi Temple

One of the most interesting facts about the Jwala Devi Temple is that it is one of the 51 Shaktipeethas in India.

I read 230 books in 2017.

Down fifteen from last year...I am a math genius and initially miscounted by ten somehow, so I though I had hit 240...this was not so. The fluctuations tell you when I was studying for exams.

Book Asks!

CHOOSE BETWEEN:

1. Libraries or bookstores?

I like to have my own collection so definitely bookstores.

2. Hardcover or paperback?

Paperback, especially the floppy kind.

3. Hard copies or ereaders?

I have an ereader that I sometimes use but I would rather have a hard copy.

4. Bookmarks or dogears?

I don’t judge but I would never dogear a book. I have a small bookmark collection or will use random pieces of paper.

5. New books or worn books?

I would rather a new book but I also love used bookstores.

FAVOURITE:

1. Genre?

Young adult fantasy

2. Author?

There are so many authors I love but right now it might be Rick Riordan.

3. Series?

I love the Sarah J. Maas books but I haven’t finished one of her series yet so probably The Mortal Instruments series.

4. Individual book?

Dragonfly by Julia Golding is still a favourite of mine.

5. Classic book?

It’s a tie between Macbeth or Hamlet by Shakespeare.

ENVIRONMENT:

1. Favorite time of day to read?

If I can read from morning to night than I’ll be happy.

2. Favorite place to read?

I have a reading nook in my room and I love it.

3. Silence or background noise?

Silence but sometimes if I have a song stuck in my head I’ll put on some instrumental music to drown it out.

4. Preferred weather for reading?

Snow storm all the way.

5. Favorite reading-time snack?

Anything that I can eat without getting a stain on my book.

PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE:

1. Favorite childhood book?

Amanda Greenleaf by Ed Kavangh

2. Currently reading?

Nothing right now but there are so many good new releases that come out in the beginning of May that I can’t wait for.

3. Book you want to read most?

Queen of Shadows by Sarah J. Maas

4. Reading goals?

My goodreads goal is 100 books this year.

5. Book you could read forever?

Either A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J. Maas or The Host by Stephenie Meyer. I’ve read them both so many times and I love them.

ANTI-FAVORITES:

1. Worst book you’ve read?

I know I’m repeating myself but Me and Earl and The Dying Girl by Jesse Andrews makes me angry it was so bad.

2. Book you couldn’t even finish?

I bought Betwixt by Tara Bray Smith recently and thought I was really going to like it but one of the pov’s was so bad that I didn’t even care what happened to the other characters.

3. Book you didn’t understand?

After I thought about it a little bit I vaguely got the ending but I Am the Messenger by Markus Zusak was good but so confusing.

4. Most overrated book?

The Fault in Our Stars by John Green was a good book but it was way over hyped, especially when the movie came out.

5. Problematic book?

Everything, Everything by Nicola Yoon kind of romanticized illness and the twist ending made it even more apparent.

AESTHETIC: (feel free to include pictures)

1. Prettiest cover?

It looks better in person and has gold edged pages.

2. Best illustrations?

An Illustrated History Of Shadowhunters and Denizens of Downworld illustrated by Cassandra Jean is so, so beautiful.

3. Favorite map in a book?

The map in the Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo is totally my favourite.

4. Best overall book aesthetic?

The Mortal Instruments series and The Infernal Devices series booth have these special edition spines that are amazingly illustrated.

5. Ugliest book?

The Daughter of Smoke and Bone series by Laini Taylor is a good series but the covers are just so bad.

GENRE:

1. Scariest book?

In the Shadow of Blackbirds by Cat Winters was super creepy and there was this one scene that haunted me for weeks afterwards.

2. Best fantasy world?

The Shadowhunter world made by Cassandra Clare has a couple great series in it that I love.

3. Funniest book?

The sarcastic humor in Rick Riordan’s books is so funny to me.

4. Saddest book?

Impulse by Ellen Hopkins made me cry so hard with that heart wrenching ending.

5. Book you would never want to read?

I’ll Give You the Sun by Jandy Nelson sounds like a good book but it is going to be at 2 different times and show how these twins relationship was damaged. I don’t like that writing style.

CHARACTERS:

1. Character you wish to be friends with?

I would love to be Rowan Whitethorn, first seen in Heir of Fire by Sarah J. Maas, is amazing and I love him and Celaena together. Even hanging out with him a day would be cool.

2. Favorite antagonist?

So even though he was literally the worst and such a bad guy, I thought Sebastian from The Mortal Instruments series was such a good bad guy.

3. Favorite protag?

Katy Swartz from the Lux series by Jennifer L. Armentrout is someone I relate to so much and I found her perspective refreshing.

4. Favorite supporting?

Nico di Angelo in The Heroes of Olympus series by Rick Riordan is a perfect little baby who I must protect at all costs. He is adorable!

5. Most-hated character?

Maybe not the most hated but I found Colin Singleton, from An Abundance of Katherines by John Green, to be kind of a pretentious character.

(I seek refuge in Allaah from Satan the outcast) Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.(In the name of Allaah, the Beneficent, the Merciful) أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّ ٱلْفُلْكَ تَجْرِى فِى ٱلْبَحْرِ بِنِعْمَتِ ٱللَّهِ لِيُرِيَكُم مِّنْ ءَايَٰتِهِۦٓ إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَءَايَٰتٍ لِّكُلِّ صَبَّارٍ شَكُورٍ 31 وَإِذَا غَشِيَهُم مَّوْجٌ كَٱلظُّلَلِ دَعَوُا۟ ٱللَّهَ مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ ٱلدِّينَ فَلَمَّا نَجَّىٰهُمْ إِلَى ٱلْبَرِّ فَمِنْهُم مُّقْتَصِدٌ وَمَا يَجْحَدُ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَآ إِلَّا كُلُّ خَتَّارٍ كَفُورٍ 32 31. Hast thou not seen how the ships glide on the sea by Allah’s Grace, that He may show you of His Wonders? Lo! therein indeed are Portents for every steadfast, grateful (heart). 32. And if a wave enshroudeth them like awnings, they cry unto Allah, making their faith pure for Him only. But when He bringeth them safe to land, only some of them compromise.

Commentary ‘Az-zulali – (the things which enshroud over heads, for example, clouds, mountain, thatched roof, sunshades etc.), this word is plural of zullatun which has been derived from zillun. Zillun means “shadow”. Khat-taarun – (treacherous, traitor, deceiver), this word has come out from khatar, which means “to deceive”. Muqtasidun – (those who are moderate in faith, temperate), this is the Subject from the word ‘iqtasaad, which has been derived from qasad. It is commanded: You see that how the ships sail on the surface of the water of the Sea, transport and carry goods from one place to the other by the Grace of Allaah Almighty. Do you not see His Divine Power in it? There are Signs for knowing Allaah Almighty in it for them who are temperate and grateful. Moreover, when waves come over them like canopies, they begin to supplicate Allaah Almighty sincerely. But after reaching the coast of the sea, some of them remain moderate in their faith. However most of them reject the Signs of Allaah Almighty. Such people are treacherous and ungrateful.

For the Ask: 1, 11, 12, 17?

Hello! I’m going to make the leap and assume it’s for the “A Writer’s Ask Game”, since it is one the most recent things I’ve posted….

1. Do you listen to music when you write?

Yes!

Music helps me keep my focus, as well as be my motivation for certain scenes. I’ve found classical music to be the most helpful when trying to write action scenes. Escala’s Palladio is very climatic and builds slowly to end fast, and loud - like a battle scene. Lindsey Stirling is great as well. I highly recommend Shatter Me, Roundtable Rival, Master of Tides, Moon Trance, and the Arena. They all share the ability to tell a story - plus, I’ve seen the music videos, so that helps too.

A tip that I learned for writing and painting is to listen to an entire soundtrack or album. That way, you’re fully surrounded by the artist and really get into the vibe/tone of that selection. Handmade Spotify albums help too. I try to make playlists that emulate the storyline, or certain characters within the story.

I enjoy Classical music the most, I’d say, but I just love music as a whole.

11. What books and/or authors have influenced you the most?

Too many.

First off, Stephen King. I think he writes horror and science fiction beautifully and in a way that is both understandable and scary. I have yet to say, this is so predictable, when reading one of his books.The Long Walk was the first book I ever read from him, and I highly recommend reading it. HIGHLY.

Then there is J.R. Ward. UGH. I love her. I have all of the Black Dagger Brotherhood Series and The Fallen Angels Series (I have yet to start this). I love the way that she captures a man’s essence and character throughout all of the books. I thoroughly enjoy all of the fight scenes, sex scenes, and conversational scenes - especially the dialogue from the character, John Matthew, who is mute. The use of ASL is done in a perfect manner as well.

Another author is none other than… Agatha Christie. I read her book before going to see the film, Murder on the Orient Express. She does a wonderful job of writing the tale of murder and the multiple trails to follow. I’d love to collect more works in order to see the other ways of how she does it. (I’m trying to learn how to do murder-mysteries.)

Last, by not least, would be Sarah J. Maas. UGH. She may have taken the throne for my #1 Author so far. In her series, A Court of Thorn and Roses, I firstly liked how she spun different stories into new tales: Beauty and the Beast, Hades and Persephone, and Snow White. It’s not all in your face with these classic stories, but rather she pulls the archetypes and themes to spin them into a new tale. I love her characters across the entire board: Feyre Archeron, Azriel, Amren, Morrigan, Rowan Whitethorn.

Some books for honorable mentions:

The Captive Prince trilogy by C.S. Pacat

The Chosen at Nightfall series by C.C. Hunter

Paranormalcy series by Kiersten White

Hereafter series by Tara Hudson

Carry On by Rainbow Rowell

Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Saenz

A Discover of Witches trilogy by Deborah Harkness

12. Describe your perfect writing space.

I first started writing the answer for this by thinking about my current writing space. My room. Hoodie up and tied close. Headphones blaring, and all distractions eliminated.

My ideal space - my dream space - would be in a library. Not a big one, no. It’d be a medium sized one, perhaps large enough for a small sitting nook and another comfy chair. The walls - from floor to ceiling- are covered with books and first collections of works, painted in a soft golden yellow hue, and in the reading nook, it is a maroon accent wall. I would read all day until the sun would set and the room would fill with darkness. I’d wrap up as I do now, play some music, and start writing in the dark. My ideas normally come from the dark.

17. What writing habits or rituals do you have?

I’m trying to make a habit of writing down my storylines, characters and themes down in a central notebook. I’m actually very close to entirely filling up a notebook with stray ideas and short drabbles. Other than that, I try to collect models on Pinterest into a board of character inspirations…

There isn’t much else that I do in terms of habits or rituals? Not that I am aware of…

Thanks for the ask! Send me more! I’m always accepting asks.
