My stories, My way
Books – too many to read, too little time. As an avid book lover, I am constantly reading something interesting. I have written many a time on my blog about my love for books. In fact, I chronicled 30 days of books a couple of years ago. Recently, I joined a book club and read…
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….
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…
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…

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…
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…
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…
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…
