Books..books..books!! - Part 1

Yes , this has been an year of more books. Since I was mostly at home , enjoying the bliss of being a mother , I read more books than I usually do . So before the year ends , let me just review my reads :)

Re-reads

 Harry potter series - I might read them again after few years ;) . They never fail to bring a smile on my face,entertain and amaze me :) Watched couple of movies as well.

 Agatha Christie - Ordeal by innocence, One two buckle my shoe ,After the funeral,The man in the brown suit,nemesis,lord Edgware dies,passenger to Frankfurt death in the clouds,crooked house. Wow! That's quite many :D But I finish these real quick since I just love them :D

Sidney Sheldon - Nothing lasts forever,The sky is falling.I have lost interest in these , I used to read them a lot some years back :D Is this part of "growing up" ? :)

Jeffrey Archer - Kane & Abel , can read it many times and still love it :)

New Reads

Jeffrey Archer - The sins of the father , First among equals  , Good but not great as some of his other books.

The devotion of suspect , by Keigo Higashino - Too good a thriller . Story starts with a scene where the murder actually happens . So you already know the victim,murderer,and all details . So what is the suspense element here?Read to find out :) A page-turner.

The inscrutable Americans , by Anurag Mathur - Story of an Indian student in America. The Indian is made to look stupid with his "Indian English , oily hair,inability to get a girlfriend and the way he stares at everything American as if its from another world :P Didn't like it .Either the book was written decades ago or the writer is still living in the old world.

My feudal lord , by Tehmina Durrani - Real life story of the author who is physically and mentally abused by her husband.Too disturbing and after few pages I just felt like shouting at the author "Why don't you just leave him!" , which she does eventually but a little too late.

John Grisham ,A painted house - Very sweet story of young Luke and his innocent little world :) Kept me smiling throughout the read :)

Immortals of Meluha , by Amish - A book which makes you think more about , or maybe even change,some of your beliefs . Eagerly waiting to read "The Nagas" , the next part of the series.

Guess this is enough for part 1 ;) More to come in the next part of this post :)
