Hope you are doing well with all things considered. With
people exercising social distancing and following #stayhome #staysafe , I am
guessing all booklovers might be having a blast. I used to always complain - “ So many books , So little time”. Now that I have gotten the opportunity to
tackle my TBR pile, I have found myself in one of the worst slumps
reading-wise. Last week I quit 2 books as I suddenly started nitpicking on the
things that I found boring . Then I picked up a couple books and read its first
few chapters and those too didn't pique my interest . I don't know if these books
are bad or the fact that I have been reading e-books format which has always
proved to be a bad reading experience for me. The reason I am reading e-books is
because I can neither go to a bookstore nor can I buy books online as amazon has
opened their delivery services only for essential items in our place. I have
mentioned this before that e-books give me headaches when I look at them for a
long time. So, I have finally decided
a way to deal with this situation. The next couple of books that I have decided to read for the Stay Home Reading Rush 2020 is going to be a mix of two reading formats- e-book and
audiobook. Fingers crossed, I get myself out of this slump.
What is Stay Home Reading Rush 2020?

What is you reading
rush TBR?
Based on the
following reading challenges, I have picked up three books.
READING CHALLENGES
Read a book with a
house on the cover- Little Fires Everywhere
Read a book in the
same room the whole time- I read books
in the same room and at the same place every day. For this challenge, I will be reading
“Thunderhead “ by Neal Shusterman on my bed.
Read a book set
somewhere you wish you could go- Its a cliché answer, but Hogwarts is where I would like myself going . I have been re-reading Harry Potter for a while now. I am currently reading Harry potter and the Order of Phoenix. So, I will be
continuing reading this one for this challenge.
Read a book that will
make you smile- Harry Potter books always fill my heart with warmth and joy.
Just looking at these brings a smile to my face.
So, my Stay Home Reading Rush TBR includes-
1.
Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng – The story revolves around two families living
in a place called Shaker heights, Ohio. This is going to be my second book from
this author after “ everything i never told you” which I absolutely loved.
There’s also a miniseries starring Reese Witherspoon which I am also planning to watch soon.
2.
Thunderhead by Neal Shusterman- This is a
re-read for me . I was planning to read “The Toll “ which is the third book to
the Scythe series, but I remember very little about what happened in
the second book “ Thunderhead” . 
3.
Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix by J.K
Rowling- This is going to be yet another re-read for me . I am almost a 100
pages in, and enjoying it.
So, that's my Reading Rush Tag and TBR...
