Books and More Books

Hi friends! I know I havenโ€™t been writing these last few days because Iโ€™m catching up on my reading. Thing is, I recently discovered a lot of free books in Amazon, and Iโ€™ve failed at stopping myself from impulse buying books on sale that I found myself with little to no space left on my bookshelves.

I started off reading my books (I left the kindle books for later) and finally finished a handful. So first thing I did was sell them off at a low price. I do this everytime because 1) I believe books are meant to be shared, and 2) I really like to declutter.

It felt quite exhilarating, having quickly sold a couple of books I really enjoyed: Please Look After Mom by Shin Kyung-Sook, and The Woman in the Window by A.J. Finn. I hope my buyers like them as much as I did.

I found my new passion amidst being still stuck at home. Iโ€™ve loaded up on books (and they keep coming) so Iโ€™m pretty happy sitting in the corner of my room, reading music softly playing from my Spotify, and a cup of tea on the side while I read away. For now Iโ€™m reading mostly fiction and poetry. For fiction Iโ€™m into suspense, drama and fantasy. Reading takes me to another world, and I take it as a break from my daily routine.

Have you recently read a book thatโ€™s blown you away? Please let me know what you recommend.

    I agree, unless I love a book completely, most of the time I pass mine on. I just finished Kate Atkinson Transcription last weekend; it was very good. This week I’m reading the Meryl Streep Film Club by Mia March; as I felt I needed something light after the intensity of Transcription.
