Last year I started out with a goal of 10 books but ended up reading 51 books, including a few short stories and rereads. The most impactful were:

1. Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier 

2. Circe by Madeline Miller 

3. The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller

4. The Tattooist of Auschwitz by Heather Morris 

5. Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave by Frederick Douglass


Some others that I really liked:

1. The Guest List by Lucy Foley

2. The Devotion of Suspect X by Keigo Higashino

3. Finlay Donovan is Killing It by Elle Cosimano

4. The Lost Man by Jane Harper

5. AThousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini

6. Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery

7. Malice by Keigo Higashino

8. Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn

9. Patient Zero by Tananarive Due


So, a really long listπŸ˜†

Yes, we're all doing well, but I'm dreading another round of lockdown and horror. I had just started going about a comparatively more normal life. 

What about you? Are you and family doing well? Which state do you live in?

I know, we thought the worst is over but here we are back again. 
My family and I are doing fine, thank you. I am from Karnataka, what about you?

I’m thinking of restarting the bookclub if we go into another lockdown kind of situation; maybe a book every two months.
Let me know what you girls think

That's good to hear. I'm from Kolkata. Real bad situation here.

I want to get back to leisure reading so badly, but I'm not very sure if I'll get much time for it. I have started reading The Hobbit at the beginning of this month and I'm not sure if I'll be able to finish it by the end of Jan. That's how slow I'm going. I do like discussing books though. This is such a dilemmaπŸ˜† Maybe keep it as a discussions and recs thread? 

Let's see what Hinna has to say.
