Stay Home Reading Rush 2020 | Book Tag & TBR


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?
I am sure you know what Reading Rush is ? But for those who don't, Reading Rush (previously called Booktubeathon) is a week long readathon for book lovers all around the world.

Stay Home Reading Rush 2020 Tag-

How is your reading going while staying home?

Not going well at all, as mentioned before. I have already DNFed two books and struggling to decide what to read next. Hopefully, this readathon helps.

Where have you been reading at home?

I always read before going to bed . So “ my bed” is where I have been reading .

Best book you’ve read during isolation?

Just before my two DNFs , I read and loved Vicious  by V.E Schwab.

What's your favorite feel good book?

Any book from the Harry Potter series.

Book you wish you could buy or borrow from the library?

I am really looking forward to read Vengeful by V.E Scwab which is the sequel to Vicious. I wish I could buy it somehow.

Author you want to shout out during this time?

This year,I have decided to read more books by Indian authors. I am slowly working my way through some of the Indian books and loving it. So a huge shout out to all Indian authors.

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... How’s your reading going? Are you planning to participate in the Reading Rush? Do share your Tag answers and TBR in the comment section down below...
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.

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.

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...
