Another week has gone by (two actually, since I missed posting last week), and it's time again for Shelf Control. Shelf Control is a feature I've borrowed from Lisa at Bookshelf Fantasies, and is all about celebrating the books on your TBR pile. To participate, simply pick a book from your TBR pile and write a post…
The Shakespeare Project: Macbeth Act I
The Shakespeare Project is all about me reading Shakespeare, Act by Act, and posting my thoughts on it as I go. Usually, I read (and write on) one Act every other week (my introductory post on this feature is here). It has been a while since I picked up this project, but since I had…
Bookquotes: Quotes from Books (28)
"There is no surer foundation for a beautiful friendship than a mutual taste in literature." --P.G. Wodehouse (p.s.: I don't think this one is from any book, but it is by Wodehouse after all. I found it on a bookmark that I was sent when I did some book shopping earlier in the month)…
Some Classics I Didn’t Really Care For
Classics are a 'genre', if one can call it that, which I enjoy reading very much. I remember when I first started consciously picking up classics (full versions) around when I was in college, I used to find them (or perhaps myself) moving a lot slower than when I was reading, say, mysteries or popular…
And I did it Again! October Book Shopping
So, as you can see from the title of this post, yet again this month, I bought books, since of course, I already have only nearly 400 still to read (lots of free e-books in that count, but still), which is really nothing so ... 😛 In October, I ended up adding thirteen books to…

Will Your Aunt be Eaten Up? #poetry #RoaldDahl #Humour
Yet another post 'inspired' by booktube, well not inspired really but on something I was reminded of because of a video I saw there. Before I start however, I'd just like to clarify that despite what the title might suggest, this is a post on something humorous, not spooky. So, a few days ago I…
Children’s Book of the Month: Listen O King: Five-and-Twenty Tales of Vikram and the Vetal
(adaptation by Deepa Agarwal) This in so many ways felt like a read that fit this season. I wanted to include some traditional stories in my reading this month since this is the time we’re celebrating Dusshera which is all about Rama defeating the demon king Ravana, about the goddess defeating a demon, and so…

Opinions Opinions…
WordPress told me a couple of days ago that it was three years since I started this blog. It was of course, but only technically. I've been actively blogging only since October last year, and only really so since March-April this year when I started to post more regularly. It's been great fun. And I'd like…
