I loved Diary of a Wimpy Kid, a cartoon novel. It's funny, a very quick read and enjoyable. It captures something true about being a kid. I enjoyed it immensely.

Lean In by Sheryl Sandberg- COO of Facebook. I wasn't a very avid reader of management or self help books. But trust me every man and woman who has ever worked in an office MUST read this book. Every chapter reminds of you of a time in your own life. And women across the world can identify wit every single thing written in there!

I read The Cukoo's Calling by J.K.R under pseudo-name Robert Galbarith on the last day of the year and loved it. Its an awesome treat for mystery lovers. Great characters and pretty interesting premise. Though the climax seemed a little too perfect i loved had all the elements of a good Agatha Christie read.
