It’s the end of the month (well, almost) which means it’s time for the monthly gratitude post – the one thing I haven’t missed writing even when I have been on a break from blogging. Mostly because writing this post (or rather the notes for this post on my phone – all month long) keeps…
March 2018 – The Month That Was #GratitudePost
I am technically on a ‘blogging break’, so I shouldn’t even be here doing this, but after writing the monthly recap/gratitude posts for the past couple of months, I have to say that I am well and truly addicted to them. Especially because more than anything else, these posts have helped me see the great…
February 2018 – The Month That Was #GratitudePost
February has been an interesting month. It was the month when I ditched my plans, to work on something completely different, and this was definitely a novel experience for me, because normally I am a very plan-your-work-and-work-your-plan kind of person. However, you know how it is when an idea takes root in your mind, especially…
Prem Purana by Usha Narayanan | Book Review
I love to read this genre of historical fiction (which some may call mythology – which I don’t agree with; long story for another day), but it’s been a long time since I actually read any book in this genre, and so when Prem Purana by Usha Narayanan was offered for review, I just had…
Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets – Audiobook Review
If you’ve been following this blog, you know that some time back I checked out and reviewed the Harry Potter and The Sorcerer’s Stone Audiobook. Back then I only meant to check out one Harry Potter book on audio, just to get an idea of how it feels to listen to this series, as opposed to…
January 2018 – The Month That Was #ChattyBlogs February Linky
I am not sure if I have ever mentioned this before, but I really love to read the monthly roundup/gratitude posts by the bloggers I follow. For several reasons really, but most importantly because I feel like it’s through these posts that I actually get to know the person behind the blogger, and it helps…
10 Book to Movie Adaptations Coming Out in 2018
If you’ve known me or followed this blog for any length of time, you know that I’m a big fan of book to movie adaptations. Of-course I always prefer to read the book first (unless I plan to skip it – which is rare), and more often than not, I find the book better than…
My Quarterly Goals for the First Quarter of 2018 #ChattyBlogs January Linky
Hi everyone, as promised, I am back with my first Quarterly Goals post of 2018. In case you are new to my blog or this segment, here’s a quick summary of what this Quarterly Goals series is about – Every quarter, I set between 10-20 goals for myself (which span several areas of my life)…
The Wife Between Us – A Psychological Suspense/Thriller You Do Not Want to Miss!
Have you ever read blurbs that have compelled you to read the book? I have, many many times. And in my experience I’ve found that more often than not, these books have a hard time living up to their great blurbs. But then there are wonderful exceptions like The Wife Between Us, which not only…
The Checklist Manifesto by Atul Gawande | Book Review
I’m a compulsive list maker. I make lists for everything, and anything. In-fact I am fast approaching the point where I might need a list to keep track of all my lists (not kidding). Which is to say that, at-least as far as I am concerned, Mr. Gawande was preaching to the choir with this…
