Hello!
I haven't made, rather shared a TBR list on this blog since October of 2015!
What??!!!
I was free-reading for the last few months and it felt good.
Once I finished a current read I would just stare at my bookshelves and pick out my next read.
Sometimes, I did make a rudimentary TBR in my Book Journal but I made it with no real intention of sticking to it. So I didn't feel like sharing it on the blog.
But starting this month I kinda want to get back in the routine of making a TBR at the beginning of the month and seeing it through.
I know today is the 9th and this post is kindaaa late but hey this is how I roll!
:)
I have already read a few books on my list and I am happy to report that I am sticking to my list quite well.
Let's see the books I want to read this month...
1. The Sudden Departure of the Frasers by Louisa Candlish--- read and reviewed.
2. Gumrah by Ira Trivedi---read and didn't like it. The writing was sloppy and there were so many editorial mistakes. Gah! Awful!
3. Ships that Pass by Shashi Deshpande---also read and enjoyed quite a bit. This was a novella about marriage and love and how no one really knows what goes on in a marriage. I might do a proper review later.
4. Daughters by Bharati Ray---currently reading this and quite enjoying it. This is my non-fiction read for the month and this was the book I started reading on the occasion of International Women's Day.
5. On Chesil Beach by Ian McEwan.
6. Breakfast at Tiffany's & Other Stories by Truman Capote..my Re-Read for the month. This happens to be one of my favourite books and I am so happy to dive back into it.
7. The Grass Harp by Truman Capote
8. Matchbox by Ashapura Devi-- a prolific Bengali writer, I am so happy to have found a translated version of her work. She comes highly, highly recommended by several of my aunts and both my parents.
9. Strangers on the Roof by Rajendra Yadav--- An Indian Modern Classic. I am happy to read it. This is translated from Hindi.
10. Cutting for Stone by Abraham Verghese.
These are the books for now.
If I stick to these, great!
If I stray, that's fine too.
See, I am trying to be a little less caught up with rules and lists.
It's nice to have a guideline and a list if I need it but if I feel like reading something else entirely...I am more than happy to succumb to those feelings.
Reading should be fun and joyful above all else.
Have a lovely reading month!
:)
