Charu | 423 comments Finished The Name of the Wind in audio book and color of summer category... Amazing book.... Must read...
Next stop In the Heart of the Sea: The Tragedy of the Whaleship Essex again a audio book...
As I go in this challenge I am finding myself to change the books. This challange has made me find new books and also read books that were on my reading list for so long.

Charu | 423 comments Finished In the Heart of the Sea: The Tragedy of the Whaleship Essex
This book was recommended to me by brother. But this challange has made me read this so soon otherwise I would have read it much later in the year....
This book was very good non fiction I have read in years.... And now because of this book Moby-Dick or, The Whale has been added to my TBR list.
Will recommend it to everyone

Charu | 423 comments Currently reading All the Pretty Horses and listening to Shadow and Bone.
Still I m way behind.... And last week I will be too busy to read anything... As in india we will be celebrating rakhi and all my sister in law and their children's will be arriving here.
So there is little chance that I will be able to finish this challange on time....
