First Post On My New Blog
Well, I did not have any notion of starting a blog. Then I read on Lotus77 blog about the Stacks Winter Challenge. As I have a mountain of books to be read I thought this would be a real incentive to whittle the pile down a bit.
The five books I have chosen are:-
Inheritance of Loss - Kiran Desai - Finished
Fine Balance- Rohinton Mistry - Finished
Cuckoo Bird - Amulya Malladi- Finished
Kite Runner - Khaled Hosseini - Finished
Nightbird - Anita Rau Badami- Finished
I do have a couple that I need to finish first, but I think I should be able to manage to get through these. I had wanted to include "Suitable Boy" by Vikram Seth, that is a really fat book and I think that would be a bit over the top for me. However, I do hope to get to it in the new year.
I really am looking forward to this challenge and watching how everyone is going. It is going to be fun.
Next post up I will do a mini "Bit about myself"

Welcome to the blogosphere HollyDolly, I'm soooo glad you're here! :)))
"A Suitable Boy" is a magnum opus indeed. BBC's Radio 7 is running a dramatized version of the book (60 min segments in 5 episodes). I'm very tempted to take a listen because I doubt I'll have the patience to read such a big book, or, I can save it and read it for bookfool's 'Chunkster Challenge'.
Looking forward to your next post!
Hi anjali:
Thanks, so great to be here. Mmh, "Chunkster Challenge" must check that out. I can see I am going to get carried away with "Challenges' Anyhow, beats TV watching.
Great list! Thank you so much for visiting my blog and leaving that lovely comment.
Way to go :) and nice new digs and list of books too.
