Book Love 2015 here! Starting to pen down this year’s ‘read’ book list well in advance. Because I’ll be in the mountains on new year’s (mild show off) and don’t want to fall behind on my yearly ritual. A slight change this year, is I am also going to put down the list of books…

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…

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…
