Over ambitious 'to-read' list

15 days into the New Year and my ‘to-read’ list looks somewhat sorted. In 2015 I couldn’t complete my Goodreads challenge and was heartbroken about it (Nerd Girl Problem 221). This year I’ve decided that I wont let the miseries of love and life affect my reading and happiness. 

Happiness :)

I am all geared up and adding to the spark was the World Book Fair that I visited last week. Although this time I was a little disappointed but even then quite a few new babies found home.

Here are some of the highlights of my ‘to-read’ list.

Fangirl

I’ve been a total Rainbow Rowell Fangirl ever since I read Eleanor & Park and now I am super excited to read this and know what the hype is all about.

Don Tillman Series

The Rosie Project and The Rosie Effect 

These have been on my list since quite a while now. I was drawn to the idea instantly. So when I saw them at the Penguin Stall at the Book Fair, I knew I was getting them home. 

A lot of YAs

If you follow me on Instagram you’d know that I am in my YA reading phase. Like last year I hope this year also I get to read some phenomenal YA books and find life goals. Some that I am more than excited to read are –

• The Marble Collector and Love, Rosie – Cecelia Ahern

Haven’t read Cecelia for some time and I am sure it would be great to be back to her whimsy fairy tale world.

• Hello, Goodbye and Everything in Between – Jennifer E. Smith

Jennifer Smith is like my second Rainbow Rowell and I am hoping it lives up to all the high expectations.

• You Had Me at Hello – Mhairi McFarlane

Seems full of happy and positive vibes...just what we need in life.

• Cold Hands, Warm Heart – Jill Wolfson

The title was intriguing enough and when I read its sample on my beloved Kindle it was amazing.

Thrillers

Adding a little thrill in life is always a good idea. Off late I haven’t read a lot of thrillers so I plan to get back to them. 

• Agatha Christie

Nobody can beat Agatha Christie in Thriller. Planning to read a few of these evergreen thrillers this year. 

• Journey Under the Midnight Sun – Keigo Higashimo

There is something unique and amazing about Japanese thrillers. Very intense and deep. You’d know what I am saying if you’ve read The Devotion of Suspect X and The Salvation of a Saint (I loved them both). Also with this I would complete all Keigo books. Yaaayyy :)  

Feel Good

• Just One Day – Gayle Forman

After reading If I Stay and Where She Went I’ve started liking the writing style and freshness of Gayle’s books. Looking forward to reading this one this year. 

• The Kabul Beauty School – Deborah Rodriguez

I loved ‘The Little Coffee Shop of Kabul’ and am hoping this one touched my heart in a similar way. 

• After You – Jojo Moyes

Jojo Moyes is in the list of my current favorite authors. I looovveee her writing. Simple yet so heartwarming just like the morning sunshine…
