oh, ;Bookworm those are also the books that get downgraded because they just are not worthy of an upgrade. so,it's 2.5 stars graded down to 2 etc.

Leena, Yes. That's true. And I have observed that on rereads for certain books ratings also change because of our own perceptions and experiences.

I am currently reading 7 Secrets Of Shiva

[Em Lost In Books, EmLo is my Name, PIFM is my Game]

I started Daisy Jones & The Six yesterday. read a few chapter and got distracted by this web comic, A Business Proposal. Its cliché but I am laughing at loud at every third page, so I guess it is helping me through this slump...

everything else on CR shelf remains forgotten.

That's supposed to be TJR's hot cake and you got distracted. :D

Glad that you found a fun read. :)

[Leena]

Bookworm : Thats part of my Feb challenges.
Em it's lovely. see if you can pick it up..

[Nathan]

Currently reading Water for Elephants as part of pifm

[Em Lost In Books, EmLo is my Name, PIFM is my Game]

Bookworm & Leena - I am reading it now and then. liking it so far.

@Nathan - How is it? I see it so many lists and also one of the most rated book here on GR that is not HP or TKAMB...

[Bookworm (have loads of catching up to do)]

Em: yeah, slumps can be difficult. Alongside the webnovel maybe you can pick up a fast paced short read or reread a favorite of yours? Helps for some.

@Nathan - I believe there's a movie adaptation too, right? Looking forward to your views.

Started The Cloud Roads.
Em, I have a feeling I'll like it. Thanks for the rec. :)

[Bookworm (have loads of catching up to do)]

Completed The Cloud Roads. I just flew through it. Enjoyable read.

[Leena]

wow! you seem to be following the clouds ! that was quick

[Bookworm (have loads of catching up to do)]

:D
Got some unexpected free time yesterday. It was relatively short read. win-win!

[Leena]

lucky lucky

[Leena]

I'm now reading the B from Februar - and guess what I couldn't pass on -??

This one is going well I suppose?
Wait, so you have r, u, a after this? Or are you not going in that order and so have completed?

[Leena]

nope, only an r left - im done with the others

[Leena]

you cannot imagine the guffaw and snickers Im hearing from my daughter. she's absolutely traumatised by the word Baby Whisperer and wants to know how much and what is she whispering ? she's convinced its a paedophile at large.::))

[Leena]

the books ok. for a title that it sports its not bad.

[Bookworm (have loads of catching up to do)]

Leena wrote: "nope, only an r left - im done with the others"

That's great! You're smashing the challenge! :)

Actually, now that you mention what is the protagonist whispering? 😂
I hope, it doesn't turn out to be paedophilia. I know people who go all happy and squealing when they see a baby. Maybe she's just that; who's baby crazy.

Leena wrote: "the books ok. for a title that it sports its not bad."
lets hope it stays that way. Else your daughter is going to have a field day (with your choice of titles). 😂

@ Bookworm : Wow , that was a Quick read !

@ Leena : Last Christmas in Paris sounds good . I liked the blurb .

[Leena]

Savita, it's fantastic. its so well written.

[Leena]

Bookworm - she's a nanny and supposed to be great with kids hmpf

[Bookworm (have loads of catching up to do)]

Savita, yeah the bookworm in me couldn't resist when it found time to spare. 😀

Leena, so nanny and dad? Or nanny and uncle? Has to be either of the two.😂

[Savita]

Leena wrote: "Savita, it's fantastic. its so well written."

I might get around to reading it sometime. Maybe we can have it for the BOTM .

[Bookworm (have loads of catching up to do)]

Started Magic Bites. Just into chap 3. I'm liking it (Kate seems fun).

it is fantastic. stick with it even if you find book 1 to be mediocre. It gets BETTER.

[Em Lost In Books, EmLo is my Name, PIFM is my Game]

Finished Daisy Jones and found it to be bad. It was not what the blurb promised. :/

Yeah? Another good thing is these are not tomes. Easier to commit.

I take it you're out of the slump? :)

[Em Lost In Books, EmLo is my Name, PIFM is my Game]

Yup, on the shorter side and full of action & humor.

Not yet.

one more list to catch up on crime

[Leena]

Bookworm : it's single Daddy and nanny. not bad at all. a retell on Rapunzel

[Leena]

Em - I think TJR is overrated.

[Bookworm (have loads of catching up to do)]

Completed Magic Bites. 3.5* It was enjoyable.
@Em, It does have great sequel worthy elements. Will stick to the series. :)

Guess it's just the case of strange titles then. Happy Reading!

Leena wrote: "one more list to catch up on crime"

Bookmarked. Thanks!

[Bookworm (have loads of catching up to do)]

Next up my reading schedule: (in no particular order)

1. Things Fall Apart - (pifm march) - Just Completed - 3.5*
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

2. Hamnet - (pifm march): Heard good things about it.

3. Dune - (pifm march): Needs no intro. I have been putting it off for long; It's time I finally get to it.

4. Malgudi Days - BOTM March

[Em Lost In Books, EmLo is my Name, PIFM is my Game]

Finished Last Night at the Telegraph Club, found it be okayish and a bit longer than necessary. Also, moved 杀破狼 Sha Po Lang to read shelf, the timing was not right.

resuming House of Sky and Breath and A Reaper at the Gates.

@bookworm - Hamnet is good. will keep an on your review.

[Bookworm (have loads of catching up to do)]

@Em - Started Hamnet, it's good so far. :)

[Leena]

Finished with FEBRUAR and now starting with MARZ.😀

Perfime is part of my BOTM from the Crime group and also fits my YAHTZEE challenge.
Flicker in the Dark
The postman always Rings Twice.
Malgudi Days.

[Leena]

Ive tried to read Loveless but i cant. I cannot read the anguish she goes through and at the end she still alone. She may come to terms with it, but ive not. Yaar, even animals are in pairs,the only solitary animal is the tiger and ive always been unsettled about it. Maybe,i need to grow up more?? Till that time, its going to languish on my tbr.

Marz....You'll have easier time this month, I reckon. 😀
Yahtzee? As in board game inspired challenge?

[Leena]

Yes, its a 13 month challenge. We need to roll between the 25th and 5th and fulfil one task. This time I had 4 1s so my task is to either read a book with 1 word title or the first in a series. So, Perfume it is.

Marz is definitely easier- lesser bks.

I honestly just love Loveless. It takes a lot to go through that self-discovery and accept it. I understand the agony you're talking about. Not sure if this will help but --> She's alone, but she's not lonely.
I hope your daughter liked it.
Maybe, you can pick it up later. :)

She loved it couldn't stop the buckets from filling up. She gets the fact that Im such a die hard romantuc and I really believe thats there's always someone for you, probably why i couldn't read it. I can't say i don't like it - i cannot digest it. She didn't even have a pet - one shows love differently - not another human being - fine, but animals ho,plants anything- i cannot comprehend this.

[Bookworm (have loads of catching up to do)]

Yeah, it was heart wrenching.
Georgia does love her friends (the platonic love without romantic feelings) and you'll know this towards the end because something happens and she's outside late at night crying which ends with one of the most heartwarming speech (sobfest basically) from her and one of the other characters. The book depicts the ace spectrum so well. I want to tell more but I don't want to spoil it incase you ever want to continue this in future. Also, respecting your views about it, I'll try not to blab anymore. :)

And just reading the way you expressed your opinion, you might just be the most die hard romantic I have come across. :D

I like your view of life , Leena . There must be someone or something to love for normal mental and physical health .

[Leena]

I absolutely agree with that Savita.

[Leviosa]

hey you all I am currently reading the Spanish love deception .
