NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS TAG | Book Tag


I don’t set New Year resolutions because I always end up breaking it in the first week of January itself. But it is good to have a plan/goal which will help me choose the books I intend on exploring . Also, it is a great way to kickstart your reading year. Last year, my book shelf was filled with my favourite  genre “ Fantasy” as I have no self control .. LOL!! I am an overtly indulgent person who loves getting obsessed with things I love thereby totally ignoring the ones which don’t necessarily count as my favourite. But this year I would like to explore other genres .

Hence this Tag “ NEW YEARS RESOLUTION TAG” is sort of like my reading goal for the year 2019.

An author you’d like to read ( that you’ve never read before)

VE Schwab . People have been talking about how much they adore her books – Vicious, Shades of Magic series etc. Also, the plot of her stories are pretty unique and interesting . I can’t wait to try them out.

 A book you’d like to read

Any VE Schwab books. I am planning on reading Vicious soon. I have heard great things about it .

 A classic you’d like to read

Lord of the Rings and Hobbit . Being a fantasy lover, I would like to read these for sure.

 A book you’d like to re-read

I would like to immerse myself again in the magical world of Harry Potter.

 A book you’ve had for ages and want to read

A couple of Non Fiction books like Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari , Mythos by Stephen Fry.

 A big book you’d like to read

I’d like to read The Words of Radiance – the second book in the storm light archive series by Brandon Sanderson which is over 1300 pages.

 An author you’ve previously read and want to read more of

Brandon Sanderson. I am in awe of his Cosmere world and brilliant stories. I enjoyed his Mistborn trilogy and  THE WAY OF KINGS – BOOK 1 of The Stormlight Archive series .

 A book you got for Christmas and would like to read

I managed to get a couple of second hand books at pretty cheap prices from amazon and bookchor . I keep buying these books out of greed which is making my TBR pile grow incessantly . I would like to tackle that first before I get into another one of those book shopping spree .

 A series you want to read from start to finish

The Diviners series by Libba Bray . I am currently listening to it on audio and absolutely loving it.

 A series you want to finish that you’ve already started

Stormlight archive series by Brandon Sanderson and The Diviners by Libba Bray.

 Do you set reading goals? If so, how many books do you want to read in 2019?

I like setting achievable goals so that I don’t end up anxious . Last year I set myself a goal of reading 12 books thinking that I would read one book a month. However, I ended up reading 54 books according to my goodreads account. This year I would love if I end up reading more than 54 but I would not like to put pressure on me by setting such goals. I am thinking of putting my reading goal to 24 this year.

 Any other reading goals?

I have three main goals for this year- 1) I would like my TBR pile to cease

2) Read more Non fiction and classics

3) Read some good Indian novels.

 Wish you all a

HAPPY NEW YEAR

& as always

HAPPY READING...!!

The Way Of KINGS by Brandon Sanderson | BOOK REVIEW

TITLE: The Way of Kings   (Book 1 of THE STORMLIGHT ARCHIVE   series) AUTHOR: Brandon Sanderson PUBLICATION YEAR: 2010 GENRE: High Fantasy PAGE COUNT: 1252 FORMAT: Mass Market Paperback AVAILABLE   AT : amazon It took me almost a month to finish this mammoth of a book “ The Way of Kings “ by Brandon Sanderson . It was a huge commitment and   I enjoyed every bit of it. At first glance, you may feel a bit intimidated but I urge you to give it a try. It is totally worth your time. Throughout this whole month , I was so immersed in this story and its characters that I was constantly thinking about it even when I was not reading the book. I might have made atleast a million theories and multiple predictions about the story . Honestly, I have never been so involved in a story to this extent. This post may seem less like a review and more like me singing praises for this book. I a...

Book Review - THE HUNGER GAMES by Suzanne Collins

PUBLICATION YEAR: 2008 GENRE: Dystopian Fiction PAGE COUNT: 374 FORMAT: Paperback AVAILABLE AT : amazon If you happen to search for the top 10 book series to binge read, The Hunger Games trilogy is definitely going to feature in it. It was published way back in 2008 but I think it became popular with the subsequent release of its movies in 2012. Although I had not seen the movies , I knew a thing or two about the story. Luckily there were no major   spoilers   while going into this book. The story is about this girl Katniss who enters into a reality show called “ The Hunger Games” . The format of this game is a bit like “ Survival of the Fittest ” or “ The Last Man Standing ”. Two people – a boy and   a girl from each of the 12 districts of this place called Panem   are selected randomly every year to participate . Contestants are supposed to kill each other in order to win the coveted title. In addition to that, th...
