Book Love 2016 here! I started 2017 with no particular books-plan but with a renewed library subscription. I also bought a lot of books in 2017. One each month. Few for myself. Few as gifts for others. Also bartered and loaned books. I ended up reading 35 books! Considering I have a day job I am extremely grateful for whatever drove me towards more reading despite the work, travel, personal life, running and sleep demands. According to a number geek…
I wanted to start my new year (you know when the clock strikes 12) with some writing. But I spent most of the last few hours of 2015 huddled in a chair reading and finishing the book Misery by Stephen King. So I let it be and pushed the writing part to the new day. I love doing this ritual on my blog for myself. I feel huge gratitude that I live in a world where magic (also) dwells in…
I read 23 books this year. 2 more than last year. Yay! Though I had planned to read many more books, as I always do, I could not because of other stuff happening in life. Altogether I am happy from a completely analytical perspective, because 23 > 21 and the genres I touched during this year were much varied than last year’s! Despite that I did not have any absolute favorites like previous years. goodreads link here : https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/4760161-yamini?page=1&shelf=what-i-read-in-2014&view=covers Special mentions…
Continuing with the tradition of chronicling my reading journey on this blog (2011, 2012) here’s my list of books I read/fell in love with this year. As a occupational hazard, I cannot really shy away from jotting down some reading statistics and analysis here. I read 21 books this year. (goodreads list here: https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/4760161?shelf=what-i-read-in-2013) much much much less than the previous years. But this year I also had to indulge my time in many exhaustive and time consuming, dedication testing activities….
I set out to read 60 books, I ended up with 35 (same as last year!) Of course I did not finish the challenge. But then I tried and did the best I could to reach the goal. Hopefully I will read the same or even more number of books in 2013. So here are the books I read this year. (I know its 10 days early and I can still fit in a book or two but I…
2011 was more or less the year of books for me! And since I needed a challenge to keep going, I thought ‘lets try to read 50 books this year’. Well, I finished 35 (honestly, I did not read last 30 pages of ‘The Difficulty of being good’. Too much that book was!) Here’s a break down of the challenge, which I could not complete 😀 (this year onward, the challenge will be realistic :P) Total books read – 35…
