I was always a chicken who got scared very easily and never watched or read anything related to the horror genre. However, all of that changed after I discovered gothic fiction which I loved. But I still had not ventured into the actual horror genre until I read "Bird Box". I enjoyed the spooky creepy... Continue Reading →
Reread of Foundation Trilogy
As I mentioned in my previous posts on Foundation series by Isaac Asimov, I am slowly making my way through the series again in chronological order. I reread the first three books in the publication order (the original trilogy) this month and upon rereading the series, I realized that it is still my favorite science... Continue Reading →
Favorite Books Of This Decade
I saw many people do this and I jumped on the bandwagon too. I started using Goodreads towards the end of 2010 so I thought of listing all the best books I read for every single year of the previous decade. These are not books that were released that year but instead these are just... Continue Reading →
Standalone Fantasy Novels
Most of the time when we come across a fantasy novel, it will be part of some series. There are hardly any standalone fantasy novels written. I sometimes prefer standalone novels as these days I don't have enough time to sit and finish 8-10 books of 1200 pages each. Life has gotten so busy that... Continue Reading →

Minimalism : Part 1 (Reduce)
I have always been a collector of key chains, bookmarks, books, CDs, DVDs etc. I like collecting so my house and my room in my parents' house had turned into a museum. I did not use more than 50% of the items I owned and they were just there because I did not want to throw... Continue Reading →
My Top 10 All Time Favorite Books
I am listening to Heartless by Marissa Meyer and I am enjoying that book so much, mostly because it is making me nostalgic about Alice in Wonderland. I love Alice in Wonderland and it is one of my most favorite books of all time. I am planning to reread the book soon and that was... Continue Reading →
Wuthering Heights – Book review
After reading Jane Eyre in February and liking it, I was interested in reading other books by the Bronte sisters. I picked Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte this month expecting it to be boring in parts like Jane Eyre. I had a feeling I would end up reading this book whole of March and maybe... Continue Reading →
