Books -
- LOTR - Had developed an itch to re-read LOTR again and so I did. I think I liked it better this time.
- Tehanu by Ursulla Le Guin - I am in awe of Earthsea books. They are so well done that I just want to live in that world. Sometimes you read a book and once it gets over, you wonder, how the characters are doing once their journey is over. Tehanu answers this wonderfully and adds more layers to it.
- Fallen Too Far by Abby Glines - I wanted to get a flavor of Romantic genre of movies. So I picked this one as it was said that this is better than the typical others. While this curiosity was enough to run through the first few pages, finishing it became a challenge. Genre lovers may like it but not much for me.
