2016 Goodreads Challenge Update

I've been contemplating doing a Goodreads Challenge update post and have successfully procrastinated till now. As of today, I have finished 30 books this year! *quick moondance* That's a little over half my challenge goal.

Marissa Meyer’s Cinder

I recently finished Marissa Meyer's Cinder from the Lunar Chronicles and I have the blogging community to thank for, for motivating (unintentionally, maybe) me to pick it up. There was a time when almost every other blog I visited would have a post about Cinder and I would wonder whether I would be able to...

Weekly Wishlist: Bait: Off-Color Stories for You to Color by Chuck Palahniuk

So, in the middle of my mad rush to meet my Goodreads Challenge deadline, getting snared viciously by The Game of Thrones and generally going about my daily life, two of my favourite weekly post categories have suffered - Weekly Wishlist and Top Ten Tuesday (you can catch my previous wishlist here and listicle here)....

SJ Watson’s Before I go to Sleep

Gripping. Yes, this book did complete justice to that word. SJ Watson's Before I go to Sleep is one of those rare books that makes sense from the word go. The synopsis very clearly said that it's the story about a woman who goes to sleep at night and wakes up in the morning with...
