My 5 Star Rated Books in 2025

2 February 2026 · Leave a Comment

For obvious reasons 2025 was not the year I read a lot of books but looking back I realised I did read some very good ones. I read 47 books and rated 12 of these five stars which I think is a pretty good ratio. But the ones I expected to be the best reads…

Intermezzo by Sally Rooney

I am aiming to start with my monthly reading posts since these are ones I love writing and a great way to remember and keep a record of the books I read. This was a good reading month notwithstanding I had a brand new adorable baby to deal with. I guess since I spent so…

Wandering Stars by Tommy Orange

I thought its about time I restarted my book posts. I have slowed down my reading pace. I know this is an absurd thing to do on purpose and most people want to read more but I felt I was ignoring everything else – movies, TV, travel, cooking etc, in favour of reading and just…

Everything I Read in January 2024: The Best Reading Experience Ever

23 March 2024 · Leave a Comment

I didn’t end up reading too many books in January since most of the month was taken up by reading a 700 pager. But what a glorious reading experience that was!

How to Read More: Kickstarting Your Reading Habit

I have been thinking of writing out this post for quite sometime and this situation right now is probably a good time to get to the TBR (to be read) pile. Its probably a good idea to get off social media and stop scrolling the news and go back to good old fashioned books, if…

A Spell of Good Things

This was surprisingly a non-fiction majority month for me which is usually not the case although I love non-fiction.

Everything I Read in October 2023: Some Disappointments and Some Discomfort

4 December 2023 · Leave a Comment

Ashley Audrain, The Whispers

Now when I look back, reading in October 2023 was not great. One major disappointment, some indifferent and some decent enough light reads. The only book I can say I will remember vividly in a few months time is The Whispers. I don’t think I can say the same about the rest.

Prophet Song Everything I read in September 2023

September started off well. And ended on fantastic. It was Booker shortlist month and I managed to bag atleast 2 books that were on the shortlist from the library and 1 book that was on the long list. You might remember our last podcast episode discussing the 2021 Booker shortlist.

Reading The Last White Man

It was a good reading month but not very varied. Out of the 6 books I read this month, 3 were about marriages. Which I love but probably not a good read if you do not care at all about this subject. Sorry but I would rather manage your expectations! The general announcement I have…

Reading books

I am way behind on my reading posts so trying to get these ones out on a random day in the middle of the week instead of the weekly post. The introduction post will tell you everything you need to know about these monthly reading posts. This was an odd month for me – mostly…
