I finished reading the remarkable Educated by Tara Westover a couple of days ago and can’t seem to get Tara’s story out of my head. So here are few thoughts I am jotting down (might add more later). I had never read a story about a poor (financially), real, white, Christian person before this. So…

Tah-dah! This is exciting. On an otherwise unbearably rainy weekend. (Apart from the drenched, rain-soaked long run I could log today). Anywho, 2019 has been a bit positive when it comes to reading and books. So doing my half-yearly round up of the books I have read so far. Because writing about books you read…

Continuation from here. Prescript – as an afterthought I hardly bought any new books this year and read from the 2017 baggage/pileup pictured here. I am a little relieved to have cleared some of that load in 2018 😀 Known and strange things by Teju Cole – KT gifted me this book for my 2017…

*Abysmal edition*I realized half of 2018 is over and I should take a stock of the books I have read so far. Very thrilled to report that I have hardly read anything! I have many excuses but an inability to find the motivation and the right books to read are the main. By right I…

And the last post summarizing all the individual books I read through 2017. Another book love post will follow soon.My daughter’s mum by Natasha Badhwar: I <3 Natasha Badhwar. To say that I had read this book before I even read this book, would be accurate. This is a compilation of Natasha’s weekly Mint column…

The end of the year is here! And I cannot wait to indulge in writing about books I read in the latter half of 2017. Earlier 2017 books here and here.Fantastic Beasts and where to find them by J.K. Rowling: Finally picked this book by JKR. I love the Harry Potter universe and I could live…

I have always thought good doctors are not humans. I mean they are these weird, different, responsible (I know gross generalization) species who do what they do because they have issues. Good issues like they want to help, comfort people and humanity. And bad issues like they don’t want a normal life and don’t mind…

Part 1 of the mid-year books round-up here. The sense of an ending by Julian Barnes – Fabulous! Also how well do the British write! The book is filled with amazing thought provoking material. Also works as a thriller, as you are trying to solve a suicide. Old age, memories are themes dear to my…
