5 Books I Want to Read Before 2019 Ends | Book Blogger | India

Hello readers' fam! 


5 Books I Want to Read Before 2019 Ends



5 Books I Want to Read Before 2019 Ends | Book Blogger | India | 2019 Wrap Up | Dhiraj Sindhi
Last TBR of 2019

I am back with another End Of Year Content. And this time its 'Books I Want to Read Before 2019 Ends'. But there is a very narrow chance that I would be able to finish them all or even half of them. Therefore we'll just chat about my last TBR. So let's get into it.

1. Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen


Pride and Prejudice has consistently appeared near the top of lists of "most-loved books" among literary scholars and the reading public. It has become one of the most popular novels in English literature with over 20 million copies sold, and has inspired many derivatives that abound in modern literature. ━ Obviously taken from Wikipedia.

I wanted to read this book for very long and I started reading it in the first week of December. I bought this Penguin Classics 1985 Edition from Ahmedabad National Book Fair 2019 because I love vintage editions. I also found Harry Potter and The Philosopher's Stone (maybe) First Edition, if not definitely the 1997 Edition. Well, we're drifting off the topic here. Okay so first I had to get through 45 pages of the 'Introduction by Toy Tanner'. It was really great to know what this book is about and knowing that there is plenty of research done on this book and Jane Austen, books were written on Jane Austen and other works like essays, retellings, etc. Why this is a very significant piece of literature and similar. It was just mind-blowing and a first step towards reading the classic writing style of Jane Austen. I am still on page no. 108, Chapter 13, inconsistency struck hard. I just hope to finish it but also don't want to rush this because I want to understand it completely.

Buy Pride and Prejudice from Flipkart (Because the sale is ON and this penguin classics edition is available only on Flipkart): HERE

2. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire by J.K. Rowling


Here we go again   The book was published in the United Kingdom by Bloomsbury and in the United States by Scholastic. In both countries, the release date was 8 July 2000. This was the first time a book in the series was published in both countries at the same time.

First, I want to confess that I haven't read the whole series yet. My Harry Potter obsession first got me to read Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. I so wanted to know what is happening in the Wizarding World right now! To be honest, I loved it at first, I'm sorry but I did. I re-read it and still sort of liked it. Nevermind. I should have read the first book first but I failed there. I could never read ebooks of Harry Potter, it kills the joy. I finished the third book in May 2018. Then finally I got to buy The Goblet of Fire and The Order of the Pheonix recently in a Flipkart sale. Two chapters in and I'm not yet out of The Riddle House. I need to read. More.

3. The Fragile Thread of Hope by Pankaj Giri


Finalist of the Amazon Pen To Publish Contest 2017.  A moving, inspirational fiction about love, loss, and finding hope in the darkest of times.   Now, this is from Goodreads.

I was to review the kindle version of this book but then I came to know that it is being published in the paperback version by Fingerprint Publications. So I was waiting for it to be launched and finally, it happened on 17th December. The cover reads "Well-sketched, sympathetic characters. A good read." - Chitra Divakaruni, The author of The Palace of Illusions. And that does enough to intrigue me. I don't know even a bit about this book and I haven't even read the blurb because I don't. I want this to be a great read. I hope so.

4. The Veiled Universe: Cosmic Tales of Science Fiction by Rob Garnet


YOU. WILL. BELIEVE. That's what cover reads and I really did. I just finished this book yesterday and it is crazy and freaking Science-Fiction that I always wanted to read. So, it consists of 11 cosmic tales of science-fiction. I was surprised and shocked after reading each of the tales. I found it pretty brilliant, the ideas and theories of the author (who has two decades of experience in the field of science) about the universe. I often wonder about the universe and the meaning of our existence and the planets and galaxies and stars. It interests me a lot and this book just fed my curiosity no end. I'll be posting a detailed review soon so stay tuned.

5. AZRAR and the tale of the curse by AKR (AKA Ayush Kumar Rajput)


Among these all the books, first I started reading this book by AKR. I won this copy in a giveaway contest. It's been months I started reading this book but couldn't finish because of my already swollen TBR pile. My favorite genre is fantasy and recently I've kind of started loving non-fictions. I like the story of this fantasy book, there are very few writers in India who write such fantasy themes, sort of epic. I want to finish this book in this year only. God Bless Me.

5 Things you need to do YOURSELF

Hey There, Welcome to my blog. Thank you for coming. And let's get straight into it.

This time we're going to discuss 5 things that you should do yourself. In our early stages we learn to speak, walk, write and what not! But that all time we got our parents always by our sides. Now when we are at adolescence stage of our life we get to learn things on our own. When we are adult (SURPRISE!) then we have to manage our life ourselves. Isn't it?

Here is list of 5 things you necessarily should take in charge of.

1. Cook your food

Of course not every meal you gonna eat. Because we've got excuse that "I got a full day job" or "I got a business to run". You may be busy whole day but when you are hungry and not so "busy" do you cook for yourself or ask someone else to cook for you? Yes, some of you do and some doesn't. Who does not, Why don't you control your hunger and cook your food rather yelling "I AM FEELING HUNGRY". Or you don't know HOW TO. So, here's a tip there are lots of YouTube videos to get started. And Thanks to Maggi we don't fear of kitchen anymore. LOL!


Make your own food


While you can do it better for yourself then why to bother someone else. Do not panic because it's not so hard thing to do. Just dare to do. Cooking have it's own pros:
  • It helps in Social Emotional Development.
  • You get confidence in your skills and abilities.
  • It develops pride.
  • Encourages independence.
So, next time you're hungry don't yell. Just do it. Be self-dependent.


2. Make most of decisions of your life

Now if you know how to cook then take responsibility of your life. You have to make most of the choices in your life to control it yourself. If you give the remote of your life to someone else you will regret to make that choice. Either it is career or doing major in college. You may take advice from elders, mentors or even friends but final choice is yours. Don't make decisions in influence of others. 

Ask yourself what you want to do. What interests you. Listen to yourself and make decision. Choose your career carefully that you don't get bored of very soon. Do major in what interests you not because that got more or less scope. Even if it's marriage or relationships, Trust yourself. Be aware what you want from your life. Once, check if it fits in with your dreams and ambitions. You will do better.

Take your time. Because no one else gonna fix the mess in your life.

Choices
Make a right choie



3. Do your work

You must be thinking if it's your work then you only gonna do it. Exactly. Don't rely on others for your work. It can be anything like your projects, assignments, responding to your emails, making calls, evaluating answer sheets (LOL, that depends😜).

Well those were the tasks you always do yourself. But managing your finance, managing household expenses, even taking care of your child. Never rely on others for such matters. It's always good to take help of others but don't just throw it on others.

We all know that one proverb Jiska kaam usiko saaje. So, well also let others do their work. And don't hesitate to ask for help and do help as well.


4. Push yourself

Push yourself before someone else push you to the ground. Wake up! get off your bed and start your day. Plan your week. Plan your day. Plan for what you want to achieve in next two years. Plan according to your dreams. Aim high and get yourself to work towards it.

Checklist
Make checklist for your convenience

It's great to maintain morning routine. Just do it. Get out yourself from the comfort zone. When you think you achieved the goal, take one more step forward, set a new goal. Push your limits. Hustle harder. Try and try and try when you still have time.

5. Love yourself

Yes, Be in love with yourself. When you achieve something great, applaud for yourself. When you get depressed hug yourself. Trust yourself over anyone in this world. Don't let yourself feel down. Keep yourself happy.

Apart from that all, you would not want to see your love unhealthy. So, maintain your health. Do yoga, exercise and meditation. Keep your body fit. Celebrate little happy moments. Reward yourself occasionally (Not for winning in PUBG).

Love Yourself
Be in Love
