There are a lot of books that have taken me by surprise. The book that comes to my mid based on the topic of today is A Woman of Substance by Barbara Taylor Bradford. I first heard about the book due to the controversy about the TV series with Karishma Kapoor which was based in…
Challenges
The different challenges I have done so far – some completed, some not so!
Day 8 – Most overrated book
I follow multiple book lover groups on social media, goodreads etc. Most times people recommend a book and I jump on getting it as I always like to broaden my reading. That is what made me buy The Rosie Project. I started reading the book and just could not get into it. I did not…
Day 7 – A book that makes me laugh
If you were wondering why I had not written for the past few days, it is coz I have been on a mini break – we went to south coast for a holiday. It was hard to write there. So for the next few days, I will be writing two blogs a day till I…
Day 6 – A book that makes me sad!
I wrote about my happy book yesterday. I have read so many books that make me sad – mostly they are the stories where humans turned on humans; they are the stories of human power gone wrong; where humans forgot their humanism and were motivated by man made differences like caste, creed, colour and race!…
Day 5 – A book that makes me happy
I have a lot of feel good books – books that make me feel warm, fuzzy and happy! Most of these books are human stories having a happy ending. There are some authors who write happy books. They are called chick-lit, light, airy books, good for a read on the beach or on holidays. I…
Day 4 – Favourite book of favourite series
I wrote about my favourite series in my earlier blog. Now let me tell you about my favourite book from the trilogy. The second book The Winter Rose is my favourite. The start of the book is slow. But one or two chapters in, it picks up pace. It is a love story between an…
Day 3 – Favourite Series
I have read a few series. Most times I like them coz being a book worm, there is nothing better than reading multiple books where the same characters are continuing. Of course Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings remain some of the most popular series of books. They are loved by generations. Twilight series…
Day 2 – A Book I have read more than 3 times
There are so many books I have read multiple times. If I love a book, I will read it again and again. And every time I will read it with different emotion and discover something new. One of my favourite book is Safe Passage by Ida Cook. I picked this book by chance in a…
Day 1 – Best book I read last year
I did not read a lot of books last year. I had joined a new job and life was very busy. My parents visited me last year and got my haul of Hindi books. It is a rite of passage – anyone coming from india has to get me the Hindi language books from my…
Day 30 – Hopes for my blog
I started the 30 day blogging challenge as a personal motivation to write every day. I had no other expectation. Even when I was putting the topics together, I was sceptical. I did not know how I would go and whether I would be able to keep it up. But as I started writing, I…
