Summer

I feel guilty that haven't posted here since ages. I am actually going through a bit of a crisis with this blog. Lately I have been feeling that when I started this blog I wasn't the same person I am now. ( Who was I then?) My biggest peeve, however, is that I didn't really make any friends here.  None at all. What was the point of blogging then? Sure I came across plenty more books and got some wonderful comments on my reviews, but it still sucks that I didn't become close with a fellow blogger. Turns out I am as terrible as making friends online, as I am in real life. ( Isn't online real life?)  Nevertheless, this socially inept fool is done with her internship which kept her busy these past two months, and is ready to blog more often, more thoughtfully, and with more hope. ( Hope is the thing that lies in the feather. I shall wear them in my ear. They'll grow into the brain.) 
I haven't been able to complete my summer reading list ( What a fail! ), and neither have I read a whole lot of books this summer (:O). I did work at a publishing house though, so I forgive myself. 
Books I did read, The Fault in our Stars by John Green. I didn't really fancy it initially since it was so different from the other JG books I love and cherish and eat and drink. But it grew on me. I still like Paper Towns and Alaska more. Maybe I even like Katherines more. Nevertheless, John Green is my hero, and TFioS made me cry like an elephant ( Big Fat Tears). So overall, that was a helluva good book. 
Then I read two life-changing books. 
The Guernsey Literary & Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer. 
Human Croquet by Kate Atkinson. 
My heart grows quiet when I think of ways to describe them. It knows, I can't do them justice. 
Someday I'll read a book that will make me fly. (Where?) 
Till that day arrives, I'll have my imaginary friends, and I'll laugh with them and smell their hair and bite them and they shall be creatures and beasts and water and forests. 
My love to everyone.

It's Monday! What are you reading? #5



It's Monday! What are you reading? is a weekly event hosted by the wonderful Shelia at Book Journey. It is where we share what we read this past week, what we hope to read this week…. and anything in between!



Ans. Several books, simultaneously. 

This book was The Shizz. 
Review:  http://oopsireadthatbook.blogspot.in/2012/05/going-bovine-by-libba-bray.html



Now, I don't really read non-fiction. Ever. But I came across this photo of a page in the book, and I was in love. Also, Jonathan Safran Foer is brilliant. 




Nevertheless, I doubt it's gonna turn me into a vegan or whatever. 



Herman Melville sure loved his whales. 


I didn't really love this one. The protag is a female and the main guy is not your typical John Green character. *sigh* But, maybe it gets better. 


Watch out for the reviews. Let me know what you are reading this week? 


P.S- My Summer Reading List Part 1 and Part 2 ( Road Trip edition.)
