Reading books broaden the mind.Curating what goes into the mind is as important as checking the food you eat for nutrition!

I’m participating in the #TBRChallenge by Blogchatter” and also the Ultimate Blog Challenge .
January has started of well. I have finished reading 5 books until today .That’s a good start because January is super busy with picnics ,family events,marriages,my own book launch, and more.
Like the last 2 years I have updated my book goals as 50.I have finished 5 books but not yet updated them on the TBR on Blogchatter website .
That my dear reader, is my goal.To remember to do that every month once I finish reviewing them.That way it’s content plus work done for the challenge.
The 5 book I read until now
Chelebela by Rabindranath Tagore
The Blue Zone:9 Lessons for Living Longer by Dan Buettner.
Will I Ever Be Good Enough?Healing the Daughters of Narcissistic mothers by Karyl McBride

Reading Goals for 2024
I want to read good books,so that I can write good books too.
I want to read more Carola Dunn and interesting cozy mysteries with good plots .
I will read more nonfiction about the writing craft, health ,wellness,vastu and ancient Indianarchitecture,gardening,growing food,entrepreneurship and financial Independence books .This is the part which has me really excited because when I read books on topics like these I always learn a lot.So fingers crossed.
I plan to curate my newsletter list and read those that teach me something.
I want to read more Bengali authors of yester years.The language is soft,soothing to read and gives the feeling of being back on a summer holiday when I was ten.Its my comfort read.
I am also re-reading Famous Five and plan to do the same with Artemis Fowl,Agatha Christie and my Jason Bourne series which I have never reviewed! So a lot of re-reading is planned.

Reading your blog post is a sign – I’m going to plan to re-read a few books I read a few years ago which I wish I had reviewed. Happy reading!
Yes.Its perfect really.
Those are awesome reading goals Amrita! I’m lucky to read 5 books in a year! I know someone who might want to read Will I Ever Be Good Enough after having a narcissistic father and mother who follow. Thanks for sharing and good luck on your challenge, I have no doubt that you will complete it.
Thanks Martha.The book you mentioned was extremely helpful.
I made a pledge to myself to read a book a week this year. I choose self-development and health books to expand my knowledge and skills.
Those are favorite topics for me too
Great choice.Let me know how it goes.
I love finding out what others are reading! My goal this year is expand what I read as well, this year is more authors whose lives are/appear quite different from mine. From different cultures and groups to childhood experiences and beyond.
That’s a good way to pick books.Thank you for visiting.
I like reading about authors whose books I love and finding our how they wrote and what they thought.
I like your approach to take the same amount of care about what you feed your mind with as your body.
Thank you Tamara.
Good luck with your reading goals. Hope they help you with your writing goals 🙌🏻🤞🏻
I hope so too.Thank you
