this week I finished 5 books, same as last week.

The Thorn Birds (5 Stars)
was on my current read shelf for more than 2 months but I loved every single word of it.

Alex (3 Stars)
fluff of the week. likable read. will continue with the series.

Faithful (DNF)
my first DNF of the year. slow and irritating.

Small Great Things (3 stars)
a court room drama on racism. definitely a page turner but i had some issues with it.

A Drink Before the War (4 Stars)
my second Dennis Lehane and it was surprisingly good. would recommend it to crime fans (though I have already done that to everyone in my friend list).

currently reading:
The Idiot
Days of Blood & Starlight
The Summer that Melted Everything
The Fifth Season

Currently reading:
Summer that melted everything - 48%
this book gives a lot to think upon and talks about racism and discrimination. Story is told in past and present. can't read it at a stretch. hence am taking it slow.

Darkness, Take My Hand - 30%
just like the previous book, this one is also very good crime novel. enjoying it very much.

Fifth Season - 13%
not Jemisin fan but am loving it so far.

Idiot - 50/768
still in initial stages but absolutely enjoying it.

Days of Blood and Starlight - 8%
Will read it slowly.

Starting tonight Magic Strike. a long due BR.

Seems like you can read a 100 books simultaneously, juggling one book with another like those bowling pin jugglers :O :O

After finishing 10 books in 2 weeks, I managed to finish only 3 books this week.

Magic Strikes and Magic Bleeds, book # 3 & 4 in Kate Daniel series. after a rough start with this series, am really enjoying this. the world, magic system, characters, they all are fun. I gave Magic Strikes 4 stars and Magic Bleeds 3 stars.

Also am reading these books back to back and now am around 10% in fifth book i.e. Magic Slays.

Also finished Darkness, Take my Hand by Dennis Lehane. Second book in the series and it was awesome. A treasure for every crime fiction fan.

touched nothing else except these books.

the last ten days has been very productive reading wise. finished Kate Daniels 5-9. Loved it. will miss Kate and Curran till the next book comes out. My collective review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Also DNF Garrett and read Fidelity, final book in Fidelity series. it was very bad. :/

currently reading days of blood and starlight and Fifth Season.

Nah.... very leisurely this year... not intentional, but somehow am deviating to other chores than reading.

I've seen right now that you have read 13 books in January! Don't complain, I have read only 3!


message 95: by Tarinee (new)

Tarinee | 908 comments 13 books in a month ...

Sure you are from this planet ...not some superman ..err..superwoman stuff ?

not bitten by any Radio active spider in recent times ?

sure someone haven't mixed some No-limit wala prototype drug in your food during new year celebration ?

Remarkable Manju and don't keep it up ,,,I am very much prone to Inferiority Complex Disorder :P

intna mat padha karo ...hain..think about the mental state of lesser beings who are prone to jealousy ...

Delhi main ho ...CP jao...Pizza khao ... Akshar dham ghumo ,,,Agra ki train pakdo ..Tajmahal Dekho .. book mai kya rakha hai ? :P

finished two books last week and those two on weekend. not a fruitful week. :(

Read Attraction and The Deal. both books were fun.

currently reading
Sacred at 60% is enjoyable but not as good as its predecessor.
The Fifth Season at 40% is confusing at times but its getting better.

Haven't read anything for my goals. :(

No worries. Still a better week than most of us in terms of reading. :)

Srividya Vijapure (theinkedmermaid) | 1859 comments Lovely reads and am very happy that you are reading big numbers. Glad that you enjoyed KD and Thorn Birds. *pats self for recommending those* :P

And honestly, am envious of those numbers as my January was miserable and February seems to be going the same way! :P
