#decbooklove Day 10 - A BOOK WITH MAGIC AS ITS THEME. And, HARRY POTTER wins hands down! Need I say more? The name says it all! Harry Potter and magic go hand in hand 😉 I received this book from @shanayatales and loved it. But somehow, I couldn't get myself to reach for another HP. Wonder why! But I am.glad I read at least one, lest I would have been the only person to not read a Harry Potter in the entire world! Come join me in sharing about your fav books, the whole of this month through the #DecBookLove Follow my friends Shalini @shalzmojo and Soumya @she_booked_it for more. #books #bookstagram #instabooks #booksofinstagram #booklovers #bibliophile #bookphotography #fiction #harrypotter #magic #love #life

#decbooklove Day 9 - A CRIME/POLITICAL/ THRILLER FROM AN AUTHOR OF ANOTHER NATIONALITY. I love reading crime novels, thrillers, murder mysteries, in short stories that keep me hooked right till the end, and some more! A TIME TO KILL by John Grisham was a story that sucked me into it from the word go. A story about a ten year old African- American girl who is brutally raped and beaten by two white men in an atmosphere rife with racial tension was relatable. In that, it is a story about power, about racism, about discrimination based on colour and , about harrowing sex crimes, the kind we read about everyday. It's really what happens in every corner of the world, isn't it? The difference here is of race and skin colour. The way John Grisham has narrated the story, makes it feel real, like what happens in our country, every day! I loved this book and I am sure you must, too! Come join me this month in the #decbooklove and share the books you read and loved. Follow my friends Shalini @shalzmojo and Soumya @she_booked_it and enjoy! #books #bookstagram #instabooks #booksofinstagram #booklovers #bibliophile #bookphotography #fiction #johngrisham #atimetokill #allaboutbooks

Any day is a good day to make a new beginning. You don't need to wait for the 1st of January to start a new habit. You can do it even today! Just decide what it is that you wish to change--about your diet, lifestyle--and start doing it, right away! I quit coffee last week. Just gave it up. I had done it a few months back, but went back to having it. But then, observing the side effects of the brew on my health, particularly my digestive system, I decided that enough is enough. I wanted to give up drinking coffee because my gut health was much more important. I switched to a yogurt and banana smoothie and have been experiencing a HUGE change in myself...physically and mentally. My digestive system is getting healthier, my mind is more alert, I don't have any cravings like earlier, and I feel much peaceful. Yes,there are moodswings, but I know how to get back to my 'normal' self! I have also begun having ragi malt for my evening snack instead of some junk food. Will do a full length post on this one soon on my blog. So, what about you? What do you intend to change today? #Monday #mondaymorning #mondaymotivation #quotesforwomen #quotesthatmotivate #lifelessons #dailyquotes #change #habits #habitsofhealth #healthfirst #physicalhealth #mentalhealth #wellness

#decbooklove Day 8 - A BOOK BY AN AUTHOR FROM YOUR COUNTRY. Rabindranath Tagore, a poet, a musician, an artist has given us such beautiful, sensitive portrayals of characters through his stories, dramas, and his poems. I am a nobody to comment on his works so would rather share about this book I picked up years ago to know the man behind the art! A collection of his letters to his family members and leaders of the time, travel memoirs, poems, drama, short stories, essays and a novel, this book has been edited by Krishna Dutta and Andrew Robinson. I was mesmerized by the letters he wrote to his wife and niece as was I lost in his short stories. It felt like I was listening to him narrate those stories, or even speak to his family, as I poured over those words. Do check it out and read it when you can. It's an enriching experience, to say the least. This month I am sharing some of the books I read that are based on prompts shared by my friends Soumya @she_booked_it and Shalini @shalzmojo. Do visit them to join in the fun! #books #booksofinstagram #booklover #bibliophile #bookphotography #indianwriters #rabindranathtagore #fiction #nonfiction #essays #poems #writers

#decbooklove Day 7 - A BOOK WHERE AN ANIMAL IS THE PROTAGONIST. I am a true blue dog lover. And when my friend @sanchwrites gifted me this book 'THE ART OF RACING IN THE RAIN', I was super thrilled! An unputdownable book, it's the story of a family who almost fell apart but are brought back together by their loving and loyal dog, Enzo. It's narrated by Enzo and it feels so real, like Enzo the dog is actually talking to you, sharing the story of his family with you. It tugs at the heartstrings and makes you fall for the one animal who is known for its trustworthiness, its loyalty and its love for its human family. Have you heard the quote, "If you haven't loved a dog, a part of your soul remains unawakened"? This is what this story tells you. If you are a dog lover, or even if you aren't, I would suggest you pick up this book. You will be left teary-eyed by the end. And perhaps also begin looking at dogs in a new light. All this December, I share books I have read, liked, disliked even, and been inspired by. I follow the prompts shared by my friends Shalini @shalzmojo and Soumya @she_booked_it. Do join in to have some fun. #books #booklovers #booksofinstagram #booksilove #bookphotography #booksaboutanimals #animals #dogs #dogstories #fiction #stories #bibliophile #booknerd #readingtherapy #bookrecommendations

#decbooklove Day 6 - A BOOK REVOLVING AROUND FOOD OR HAS FOOD IN ITS TITLE. RUJUTA DIWEKAR'S INDIAN SUPER FOODS. I have liked and believed in Rujuta Diwekar' s principles about food. About eating locally grown foods, and about the secret to good health and weight loss being found in our own kitchens. I received this book from. Ashvini Naik for a quiz I participated in some time back. It consists of 10 Indian Super foods and how they help maintain our health if we make them an important part of our diet. In a simple, easy to understand language and style, Rujuta manages to change our understanding of these foods and shows us how simple it really is to take care of our health! Have you read it? This month, I participate in the #decbooklove challenge where we share books we read based on the prompts shared by my friends Shalini @shalzmojo and Soumya @she_booked_it. Do join in! #books #booksofinstagram #booklovers #bibliophile #bookphotography #booklove #booksonfood #indiansuperfoods #rujutadiwekar #diet #healthyfood #healthyhappylife
