Yusra | 4 comments Hello to all!

I am Yusra, but prefer to be called Yus. Reading has always been a integral part of my life for as long as I can remember; in a way, it is what keeps me sane. That said, reading well-nigh blinded me (trust me, Myopia is NOT fun). On second thought, don't trust me, I am over-exaggerating my nearsightedness.

I am not prejudiced towards a certain genre, however, I like my fiction with a dash of fantasy -- keeps things interesting. Also, I am a HUGE George R.R. Martin fan. So if anyone here is a fan of ASoIaF series, hit me up!

University doesn't allow me the luxury to read as often as I'd like, so in an effort to read more, I'm currently doing a 24 books per year challenge.

That's it folks! I apologize for this wall of text. Whoops.

I don't get time to read either so I decided to cut down on my precious sleep and make time for reading. Totally worth it.

Salma | 11 comments Welcome. Interesting blog. You sound like a bit of a lost soul. Maybe a poet/philosophical writer in the making.

message 76: by Ahmad (new)

Ahmad (spiked_92) | 143 comments I see that you're reading City of Bones by Michael Connelly...
How do u find the writer? And looks like you haven't read other of his other books
I found him okay, not very good but not very bad either.. I have read only a couple of his books
First was the The Lincoln's Laywer because when the movie came out, I saw that it was based on a book so I got myself a copy.
Then a friend of mine gave me The Brass Verdict on my birthday as a present. It was okay
Let me know what are ur views so far! :D

Actually what happened was I ordered it not looking into what it was and thought it was City of Bones (The Mortal Instruments, #1) by Cassandra Clare it was only when I recieved it I realised I was wrong but still I started reading it. I hav'nt got very far yet but I'm rally liking it so far :)

Lara Zuberi (larazuberi) | 571 comments It is truly wonderful to have found this group. I moved to America 12 years ago, but a part of me is still in Pakistan. I am wife, mother, doctor, but I had forgotten that I was a reader before I took on all these roles, so I am rediscovering the reader in me. Happy reading:)
