Here we go again...

I am back!!

Yes, I was missing for the longest time but I have decided to make a reappearance on my blog.

So whats new?? Well, I realized that I had almost stopped reading ever since I took up a job. That realization made my head spin... and here I am, a month from discovering that horror truth having finished three books.

Ahh.. what a heavenly feeling. Well, I should tell you guys that I have recently completed a trilogy called the Hunger Games. A close friend of mine had suggested this series and trust me I shall never ignore his suggestions in the future. The books are extremely well written and are a page turner.

I don't want to  say anything more 'cause I am afraid if I start it will be very difficult to stop talking about these books. Lemme just tell you guys one thing - the books are so good that I couldn't stop thinking about them days after I finished them. So just go and grab a copy and let the books speak for themselves.

Today I shall start reading the last book of Inheritance series, by Christopher Paolini. I am not particularly a huge fan of this series. But since I have read the first three books, it is only fair to complete the series. I shall keep you all updated on how the book turns out. Till then,

"Let the Hunger Games begin."

Books Books everywhere... What should I read?



Ever bought books when you know you do not have time to read them? In fact there already are like a gazillion unread books at your home already? Well, WELCOME to my side of the world. i recently bought sixteen - yes thats right 'sixteen' - books at the International Book Fair held at Pragati Maidan. But I just don't have time to read em...


Whenever I pick up a book outside my course to read(doing  masters in English literature), I feel that I should first try and concentrate on the stuff I would be graded for. But that doesn't stop my obsession with shopping for books. I just can't resist that enchanting smell of parchment in a place full of books. When I walk past a counter I swear I can hear the books calling out my name, begging me to buy them and promising to entertain.


And top of everything bookstores take advantage of my weakness and offer a bargain on them. I mean how can you leave a book with costs only 100 bucks??? How does it matter if that 100 rupees book is about 'scrapbooking'??? Yeah, that's true... I have this book too :) :)..


Well what can i do? 'BOOKS' are my first love. And its a universal fact that a girl never gets over her first love...  Trust me, they are the ideal lover one can ever hope for. Sad or happy, angry or calm, anxious or curious - what better companion can one have but an amazing book?


That reminds me I have got to get back to my reading... so... Aufwiedersehen...
