52 Books in 52 Weeks
Do you remember the last book you read? Well, I don't. I seriously don't.
I have been so much busy throughout this year that I haven't had a
chance to read a single book. And I was the kind of girl who read one new book
every day. We were only allowed to issue one book every week from the school library so I
would make my friends get all the books I wanted to read. Well, that was school
and I didn’t have to worry about making money back then.
But not reading books has been really bothering me lately. I do
remember buying books, but I just can’t seem to read them. The last time I was
in Goa, I spent a hot summer afternoon scanning through the books in a second hand book store just to find
that perfect catch.
And yet, I don’t
have time to read them. It’s all because of my stupid habit of wanting to
read the entire book from cover to cover in one go. I just don't like getting interrupted
when I am reading. And lately, with my hectic schedule it just hasn’t been
possible.
I love reading, my love for reading actually led me to write and
running away from it just seems wrong. I have always believed that reading is
what makes us who we are and gives us that depth.
I have decided that for the next one year I am going to read one book every week. 52 Books in 52 Weeks.
I don't know how difficult or easy it will be but I know it will
be a great experience all along.
I will be
reviewing each book I read every week right here on the blog just to keep you
guys updated with progress. I hope I can make through it and not skip the whole
challenge by giving myself a lame excuse.
But that's not
all, I am looking for people who would do this stupidly crazy challenge with me
(Partly because, I need people to motivate me). So, if you are in it, comment
right here and let me know!
Also, I am looking
for book recommendations - satire, horror, thriller, biographies, chick-lit,
whatever it is I am in! :)

That's a worthy challenge and one that is highly achievable. I started on that road some months ago myself, and I've managed to keep at it...a new book every week.
ReplyDeleteGreetings and best wishes!
Wow thats just awesome !
DeleteI hope I can keep up too :)
Search for Jeffrey Deaver books - you remember the "Bone Collector" movie starring Denzel Washington and Anjelina Jolie? Well, there are a whole series of investigative thrillers featuring the duo and they are awesome.
ReplyDeletePersonally, yes, I too am starting to read once more after a long hiatus. And it feels good to get back into the habit.
Doesn't it ?
DeleteI have honestly never heard about the Bone Collector :|
But I am definitely going to find the book and give them a read :)

I am in. I've been enjoying reading and taking it as challenge would definitely add the flavor. Let's do it :)
ReplyDeleteLet me know which book you pick up !
DeleteI know I'm reading this post long after it's been posted, but I'll start from this week itself. I accept your challenge and let's do it together!
ReplyDeleteBtw, please do suggest some good books for me.
Glad you are taking it up Sundar, why don't you start with some good-old classics like Shakespeare ?
DeleteI'm actually interested in non-fiction books, such as autobiographies of entrepreneurs. So what would you recommend?
