I have always been fond of reading books. As a
child, in my holidays, I would sit up till late in the night reading my Nancy
Drews, Hardy Boys and Enid Blytons. This habit accompanied me in my adult life.
However busy I am, you will always find me with a book: at the airport, in the
hospital, in the doctor’s clinic, at railway stations and everywhere else.
I just cannot believe it when people tell me that
they don’t read. Infact, I am shocked when I hear this statement.
This week I was super busy to come up with a post. So,
I thought I will take a shortcut and share my reading list with you. Books I
have read this month and books I will be reading in the next few days.
1 Daddy’s Gone a Hunting by Mary Higgins Clark (Read
it and liked it.) (M.H Clark is my favourite mystery writer.)
2 The Cindrella Murder By Mary Higgins Clark (Read
it and loved it.)
3 The Beginning of Everything by Robyn Schneider
(Read it on my Kindle, loved it and want to read again.)
4 Living with the Himalayan Masters by Swami Rama
(currently I am reading this book borrowed from the library, its giving me
goosebumps and making me see yogis in a different light.)
5 Half-girlfriend by Chetan Bhagat (Will be my next
read.)
6 All the Bright Things by Jennifer Niven (have
heard amazing reviews about it.)
7 Enders Game by Orson Scott Card (have heard a lot
about it, eager to read it, bought it from Blossoms: Bangalore’s biggest book
shop. If you are ever in Bangalore and you love books, you must visit this
place.)
8 5 to 1 by
Holly Bodger (won it on Literary Rambles, eager to read it.)
9 A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseni (was waiting for my mom to finish reading it. She loved it.)
What are you reading this month? What are the books
on your TBR list?
People who don't read shock me as well.
ReplyDeleteEnder's Game was good, but it was rather cold. I felt the movie matched the tone of the book perfectly.
I have two books I'm reading right now, one of them a blogger buddy's book.
I just finished reading The Detective and the Woman, by Amy Thomas. Really good mystery involving Sherlock Holmes. I'll be reviewing it soon.
ReplyDeleteI loved A Thousand Splendid Suns! I was so worried that his second book wouldn't/couldn't live up to The Kite Runner but it did! :)
ReplyDeleteNowadays, I am reading more non fiction. Looking forward to come back to fiction reading sooner :)

I can't understand people not reading either. I've always got so many things I want to read choosing which to go for next is usually the problem for me! Some new titles on your book list that I haven't come across.
ReplyDeleteRight now I'm rereading Bram Stoker's "Dracula". I just finished reading "The Help" and before that I read "The Hound of the Baskervilles" and "And Then There Were None." My TBR list is growing, I'm always adding new books I'd like to read. I'd really love to read "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo," "The Book Thief" and maybe "Ender's Game" and "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas." But I'll have to go into a bookstore to get them and I might not come out. :-D
ReplyDeleteRachna, my TBR list is so long I'll never catch up. I'm currently reading The Stranger by Harlan Coben (thriller) and plan to read Kelly Baugh's Miss You Once Again next (women's fiction). Two of my favorite recent reads are April J. Moore's Bobbing for Watermelons (women's fiction) and The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah (historical fiction WWII)
ReplyDeleteToo big a list to share:)
ReplyDeleteHey, Rachna. So good to see you. Love your reading list. I have been reading some picture books and poetry. :-) Just because I love to read them. My TBR stack is falling over. It's summer and I haven't made a dent. :-)
ReplyDeleteAll of those books sound good. This month I am hoping to read the rest of Christine Rains' 13th Floor Collection and I want to check out Divergent.

ReplyDeleteI have 3 and 6, but haven't read them yet. The rest look interesting. I have some NetGalley ARCs on my Kindle as well as bloggers' books that I'd like to read.
ReplyDeleteI've heard a lot of good things about A Thousand Splendid Suns.
ReplyDeleteIt interests me that you are in India yet are familiar with so many books that I am.

ReplyDeleteNice list! I finished Legend a couple days ago and next up is Neverwhere, the author's preferred edition. I've read the original edition and it's debatably my fave Neil Gaiman book, so I'm super excited!
ReplyDeleteSame here, Rachna ... I can never be tired of reading ... In many ways books open out the world for you.
