Book Bingo – Update 2
Half the year has gone by and my reading has been a little erratic. I have read some great works and have gone on reading binges. But then there have been periods when I kept away from books. Here is a tally of the books I read this year so far for the Book Bingo (I have read a lot more books than that on the list – there are some books I do not include for the bingo)
All links lead to Good Reads (most of the books are reviewed in Good Reads)

I also was going through the books I have read previously on my Goodreads account and realized that there a few series I would like to read – The Inspector Armand Gamache series by Loise Penny, Joe Sandilands series by Barbara Cleverly, Ibis Trilogy by Amitav Ghosh

The Blue Sweater, Narendra Modi: The man, the times, Inferno, Oleander Girl, The Burgess Boys are some books I am thinking about.
Books everyone has read by me column
Q2
- Pride and Prejudice

Other books I plan to read include Alice in Wonderland, The Alchemist, Gone with the wind and the rest will also be classics
Re-read books Column
Q2
- Harry Potter (Book 6). I am not going to read book 7. I had to literally force myself to read Book 6.
- White Tiger
- The Palace of Illusions
- The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes
- East Wind: West Wind
Other books I plan to read include Are you There God? It’s Me, Margaret, Catch-22, Da-Vinci Code, Eat Pray Love, The Lovely Bones, Memoirs of a Geisha, Nine Lives, Sea of Poppies and Wide Sargasso Sea.
So looks Q3 and Q4 will see me re-reading some books and catching up on new publications. The way it is going I am quite confident I will finish the book bingo challenge for 2013.
