    I read Whereabouts in Feb, translated by Jhumpa Lahiri from Italian. And in December I’d read Before the Coffee Gets Cold. I would like to add BYMF to my list next. Debeshi has been on my mind for some time now since I follow her on Twitter.. I better get a hand on her short story first.

    An impressive list of books, Ritu. I have read two though..Himachal ke rang and Women warriors of India. Your reading list has always been so extensive and I really admire you for that.

    I didn’t even know that so many reading challenges are being hosted. I would love to read Jhumpa Lahirii’s book, as I have not read her works. I am going to keep the calendar of challenges too, just to keep me motivated to read more.

    I am amazed at the books you’ve read and how well you’ve articulated each of them. I am a voracious reader and many times forget the content of the books I’ve read. Writing a review/blog is a beautiful way to remember and recommend books. I’ll surely check out the books you’ve listed in the blog. starting with Jhumpa Lahiri, whose previous work I’ve read and liked.

    Ritu, how do you manage to devour so many books in a year! I absolutely admire you for that and wish to be like you. I have made a note of the recommendations and I really want to read some Hindi works, at least to keep in touch with the language. Thanks, dear…your recommendations have forever been my favorite.

    I wish I could read as much as you! The only books I read in February were the ones of my daughter’s. To help her study. I am definitely reading the one by Jhumpa Lahiri

    Translating myself and others was such an interesting book to listen to. Especially not knowing anything about the Italian books and authors she mentions, it was quite a learning experience.

    I am impressed with your choice of books and I will not deny the fact that its quite different from the regular choices of the seasoned readers. I liked it and decided that in coming time I will ask for your advice when I will be confused regarding the books I should pick to bring variation in my reading style. Coming to the way of your presentation of the books … Its short and crisp … enough to give idea to a reader about the book. Thank you so much for this awesome post.

    An amazing list of books you’ve read! Must praise you for the discipline you had to be able to finish all of them in a month! As much as I love reading, I could only sum up 3-5 pages at most a day. I got some amazing recommendations as well!

    I was in a need of this to add some books for upcoming months. All these books are new to me and from the details you gave, all these look like intriguing.

    That’s a really good start to the year Ritu… congratulations… and as usual, I admire your capacity.
    Of all your Feb reads, women warriors of India looks really intersting to me.

    Whoa, Ritu, that’s quite a collection of books you have there. Just one has been read by me so far. Himachal kae rang. Honestly, you’ve got my respect for your abilities. I will take one year to read all these 🤭.

    Even in a lean month you have read so much! Sadly, I have not been able to read much. With work taking some screen time, I want to rest my eyes a bit as I get headaches these days, even with glasses on. Hope to get back to reading soon.

    This reading challenge looks amazing , especially for those who love to read but cant manage their time. A great habit for sure. Let me know how to participate. The books are really great to start with especially Jhuma Lahiri, one of my fav authors.

    Wow Ritu, I’m amazed at how meticulously you plan your reading and are so committed to completing challenges. Hats off! Women Warriors sounds interesting, so does Himachal ke Rang. Hope they help me break the reader’s block.
