I am a fan of Jane Green books. I have quite a few of them and love reading them from time to time. Her book The Other Woman is one of my favourite. I can quite relate to Elle from the book. The emotions she goes through adjusting to a new family were very familiar.… Continue reading

Day 24 – A book I wish more people would have read
Reading is personal! My reading habits are very different from others and I think it would be same for them. So it would be hard for me to say which book should be read by whom. The one book I can think of that I hope is read by more people is The Hindi Bindi… Continue reading
Day 23 – A book I wanted to read for a long time but still haven’t!
I will name two books that I bought because I wanted to read them but still haven’t. I have the books but for some reason or the other haven’t read them. The first one is Eat Pray Love by Elizabeth Gilbert. Now I bought the book a few years ago and was meant to read… Continue reading
Day 22 – A book that makes me cry
I am quite an imaginative and emotional person. So when I read books, it is like a movie going in my head. Human stories always make me cry as they are real. Currently I am reading Humans by Brandon Stanton from Humans of New York. It has some touching stories from across the world. The… Continue reading
Day 21 – The first novel I remember reading
The very first novel I remember reading was Enid Bayton “Magic Faraway Tree”. I vividly remember it as I was fully enchanted by the end of it. I was fascinated by the English life and the story of the 3 kids. What initially surprised me was how they talked in the book that the kids… Continue reading
Day 20 – Favourite romance book
Being a thorough romantic, I love reading this genre. When I was a young girl, as per the time bound tradition, I read Mills and Boon. Now it does give you a distorted view about romance but they were my first romantic novel. Since then I have read classic love stories like Pride and Prejudice… Continue reading
Day 18 – A book that disappointed me
My reading is very eclectic. I will pick up a book, not like it and then keep it away. I will pick it up again after months and it will become my favourite book. It all depends on my state of mind when I am reading a particular book. I am hoping it is not… Continue reading
Day 17 – Favourite quote from my favourite book
When I was young and printed books were the only way of reading, I used to underline or highlight the quotes I loved. That habit remains unchanged but what is additional is doing it virtually when I read books on my kindle or Apple Books. Some of my favourite quotes are from Harry Potter but… Continue reading
Day 16 – Favourite Female character
I love books with strong female characters. I actually feel kinship with strong women. So over the years I have read a lot of books with woman as the central character. In fact, one of my favourite books is “Becoming” by Michelle Obama. My favourite female character is Skeeter from The Help. This book is… Continue reading
Day 15 – Favourite Male Character
I must admit I read a lot of books with strong female character. They do have male characters but mostly they are a co-actor rather than the centre of the story. My favourite male character is Harry Potter. I love how Rowling has given shades to his personality. He seems real and is not a… Continue reading
