Merriam-Webster defines a ''calling' as ''...a strong inner impulse towards a particular course of action especially when accompanied by conviction of divine influence.'' What is my calling or how do I discover my true calling? That's a question that I am often asked by people. I assume because it is because I carry myself like someone who has found theirs' & is living it. If you ask me what my calling is, I would probably say it is in doing anything which allows me to make use of my...

Look who's back like they never left :). Am fine, & yes I have been keeping up with my reading, all over the place with the genres but the most important thing is that I have been reading. This review is like 3 months old & I have read about 20 more books since which I promise to review before the end of the year. But what is amazing is that I can still remember details of what happened in most of these books, even after such a long time. I love that!I love reading 😊. 'The...

...so it continues, my short reviews (very short) of the books that I have read recently (and by recently, I mean in the last 3 months). And as always, it's all a 'mishy mashy' mix of different genres & even languages. Yes, I sneaked in a 'foreign language' book, foreign as in 'German' because in as much as I live in Germany, I mostly read English books & my Blog is still written in English. 'An American Marriage' is based on a young black American couple who due to a sudden turn of...

This compilation of the books that I have read recently looks just as jumbled up as my interests in life generally. With each passing day, I try out new things & experience different interests, fall in love with new ones & lose interest (pun intended) in old ones. I had planned on arranging the books nicely in their respective categories (Fiction, Finance, Romance) but I just can't be bothered. This is just the order in which they find themselves. Here is a short summary; and PS: I have...

So, a little update on my '52 books a year' reading goal...16 down, 36 to go. And what a variety of books that I have been able to read (listen to) in the last 2 months. Romance galore courtesy of 'Talia Hibbert' in her 3-book series (the final one is coming out soon & I can't wait to listen to it too). Biographies which are not really my thing, but 'Steve Jobs' & 'Candice Brathwaite' have succeeded in changing my mind. A subtle reminder that Racism was & is still ongoing in our...

Have you ever read a book & felt as if you were watching a film? Yes, that's the feeling that I got when reading 'The Woman in the Window' by A.J. Finn. Am not such a big fan of thriller based books but since I got back to 'Audible', I've been pushing myself to try out new genres & this book did not disappoint me at all. It's full of twists, turns & suspence that one expects from a psychological thriller. Narrated by Anna Fox, a former child psychologist living in a big house in...
