meghathecloud How did you like the Sudha Murty one? I have been meaning to read her books, but can't find the will after I read one of her few years ago, which I didn't like at all😅 4y
OriginalCyn620 TKAM is one of my all-time favorites! 4y
Blackink_WhitePaper @meghathecloud this book was just ok for me, not very good one. She writes well in Kannada language. I have read her books in Kannada. Which one have you read? 4y

meghathecloud @Blackink_WhitePaper I think it was Dollar Bahu. You are right, it could be the translation/second language effect. But, I can't read Kannada...still plenty of books to read anyway😂 (edited) 4y
Blackink_WhitePaper @meghathecloud you are right. Sometime it‘s translation. ‘The day I stopped drinking milk‘ is good one. It‘s always good to read about real life incidents than fictions. 4y
meghathecloud @Blackink_WhitePaper Thanks for the recommendation😄 I'll look it up. 4y

#bookhaul #bookgifts

I am very spoilt this week! It‘s like Christmas part two 😍

The lovely @Rissreads gifted me the mug and the two books in front - perfect timing as I have a new appetite for Australian writing after loving Too Much Lip. Thank you so much!

The pile of 5 books in the background is my book haul from the second hand bookshop and thrift shops 👍👍👍

Freespirit Great reading there❤️ 5y
MrsMalaprop That‘s some awesome #ozfiction you have there 😍😍. 5y

I have never been much of new year‘s resolution person but maybe some of the bookish goals I‘ve made for myself do constitute as resolutions. Let‘s talk about our reading goals for 2020! You can check out my latest video by clicking the link in my bio. https://youtu.be/qQN_6AsGrLY

EadieB @Butterflyamore Got great ideas from your video. I got Olive Again by Elizabeth Strout. Author is a Pulitzer Prize Winner. Don't know if you ever read her first book called Olive Ketteridge who is a beloved teacher/principal. Sister Caravaggio short stories by Irish authors such as; Maeve Binchy (who is my favorite), Peter Cunningham, Neil Donnelly, Cormac Millar and a few others. My husband gave me a $100 gift card to Amazon which I asked for. (edited) 5y
EadieB @Butterflyamore My goals for 2020 are similar to yours in that I need to read the books I own. I do read 200 books a year so I have a special bookcase where I keep the books for 2020. Some have been on my TBR forever so I am looking forward to reading those. Love your book cart idea! Also doing some Nordic Mystery Authors Buddy Reads which I have owned those books for a while. I need to limit the books that are coming in too so I like your ideas. 5y

EadieB @Butterflyamore I don't have any unfinished books but I have read A Tree Grows in Brooklyn which is a good book but you need to be in the mood for it so I can understand why you set it aside. I have read A Separate Peace in 2018 and can understand why you love that one. It is a book that does teach a good lesson. I've read a lot of Stephen King and do agree that you should read The Shining. Another favorite is 11/22/63 by him. 5y
EadieB @Butterflyamore I want to read John Connolly too as I have many of his books and will have to move his books to my 2020 bookcase. My favorite Agatha Christie book is And Then There Were None which is a locked room mystery. I also think The Murder of Roger Ackroyd is one of her best books too. I need to finish my century of mystery books published for 100 years. I am 1/2 done as I have read 50 books and 50 more to go to finish the century. 5y
abookishbutterfly @EadieB Is it safe to assume you‘re going to get books with that gift card? I have read some of Agatha Christie‘s books, including And Then There Were None, but I would like to include that as a reread in the next few years, as it has been 20 years since I read it. I haven‘t read Olive Kitteridge although I do own a copy of the book. 😬 It was pitched recently at our book club but it didn‘t end being our January pick. 5y
EadieB @Butterflyamore Yes the Amazon gift card is for books. I'm involved with the Nordic Buddy Reads and the library does not carry all the books. I own some but can find the rest on Amazon. 5y

I just discovered book sleeves and I'm in love. Made this one out of some Harry Potter fabric I had.

While holiday shopping on Amazon, I found the perfect surprise birthday gift for my husband: companion books to his favourite science/history documentary TV series, James Burke's Connections & The Day The Universe Changed. They finally arrived yesterday and he was definitely surprised! He was so blown away he hugged me and even cried! It was awesome ☺️ #BooksfortheWin #BookGifts

Bookwomble I loved James Burke's shows when I was a kid. Connections was one of my favourites 🙂 What a fantastic find, and really cool book covers. 6y
TK-421 @Bookwomble Thanks! I wish I had known about these shows as a kid! 6y
