Book 07: The Storied Life of A.J.Fikry by Gabrielle Zevin

A.J.Fikry is a bookstore owner. A sales rep visited the store to sell some books who was yelled at by the owner for no good reason. They fall for each other with unexpected twists and turns in the plot.

The bookstore had a valuable book called "Tamerlane" which was stolen when the store was left unlocked. Some day when the store was left unlocked once again, he found something left behind the store, "a little girl". From there, it gets more interesting. At the end of the story, we will know how the girl was left behind the book store, who stole the book, and how much the book was sold in the auction when they were in need of money in a critical situation.

An interesting read!

Book 06: How to Change By Katy Milkman

This is an amazing book with so much research conducted on behavioral research. We can pick the strategy that works best for us. Only we know about ourselves better than anyone else.

It tells us how to overcome the internal obstacles when we try to do a new activity on regular basis. We always give excuses for the bad habits by saying, "Everyone does it!", but when our parents compare us with neighbor/relative/sibling (obviously for good habits), we will be like, "oh, stop comparing!" Well, that's human nature and we have to mold ourselves and this book can be very helpful to achieve that change.

Without knowing myself, I have done so many techniques in my life that this book describes. I was doing trial and error, tried hard to overcome procrastination. Maybe If I read this book earlier, achieving my goals could have been even easier and earlier. However, I am glad, I read this now. I know what to do if I need a change in myself.

So better read now than to be late! 😄

Book 05: Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus by John Gray!

A fantastic book to know about the opposite gender! The author categorizes all men are from the planet Mars, so they speak a different language and all women are from Venus where they speak a different language. Meaning, when a man says, “ok/fine/it’s alright” then he actually means “it’s ok and he will take care of it” wherein when a woman says “ok/fine/it’s alright” then it’s definitely not fine and she wants someone to listen to it. The words are the same but the meaning differs. This book deeply dives into so many different aspects we could think about.

When we are in a relationship we give what we want not what the opposite gender wants. This book describes the primary need of men/women in a relationship. It also tells us how differently we (men/women) handle our stress.

This book gave insight to so many people who got breakup/divorced. They rejoined/remarried and lived happily thereafter. 😍❤️

Some people felt, they should have read it earlier (Don’t be on that list ).😜

When we read this book, at some instance we might feel like, ‘oh, that’s me, I do that!’ and at other instances, we might think, ‘oh, come on, I never do that!’ It doesn’t matter. All that the book trying to tell us is “We should learn to appreciate and accept the differences!”

Book 04: Washingtonil Thirumanan By Saavi (Audio 🎧 book available)

This book is about the imagination of executing Brahmin marriage in Washington DC, USA. The Brahim family assists the American family to follow all the traditions involved in a Brahmin marriage with the language barrier. The author describes this story in a very funny way.

The audiobook is pretty good to listen to with the apt slang.

I can imagine how our grandparents will react and comment when they visit a new country!
