Hi everyone! How are you all? (I’ve noticed none of you ever answer this :()
October passed by in a blur for me and honestly, I can’t even remember much of what all happened. Anyways, let’s get started with my wrap-up. I managed to read 6 books and re-read 2 books. Compared to the last few months, I consider this pretty good.
Books I Read
1. The Secret by Rhonda Byrne
My Rating- 5 stars
I just finished this book and I am so happy I decided to read it. I have been following the Twitter handle of The Secret for a while and I was just waiting to get my hands on the book. This is the first time I have read about the law of attraction and I’m really intrigued. I’m also in the middle of the movie at the moment. For the past few days, I’ve just been re-reading parts of the book and researching more on how to use the secret. I think practicing it could really help me as it has helped so many others. If you haven’t read this book yet, I highly recommend it.
2. Tips For Happiness In The Shadow Of Cancer by Dr. Meenu Walia
My Rating– 5 stars

Re-reads
Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte
I read Wuthering Heights years ago, probably the year I first started reading and I’ve been wanting to re-read it for ages. I absolutely loved reading it again. There is something about this story that it just so appealing. The characters are horrible and the story is sad most of the time but the story is addictive. This is one of the best classics I have ever read.
Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone by J.K Rowling
Re-read this for the sixth time! I’m almost always reading the Harry Potter books. I just read them when the mood strikes and I need to relax.
Books I Acquired
- Perfect by Cecelia Ahern– Thanks to Harper Collins India for a signed copy of this book. I won it in a giveaway hosted by them on Instagram. This is a dulogy and I’ll have to get the first book before I read this.
- Soul of a Wanderer by Jayasekaran Pillai– I won this book in a Goodreads giveway. I haven’t read any travel books so I’m very excited to read this.

Tv Shows & Music
I finished Parks and Recreation and it was so so good.
After that, I couldn’t get into any other shows so I started re-watching Game of Thrones.
Currently listening to Dusk Till Dawn by Zayn and Sia.

How was your month and which books did you read? Let me know down below!
I’ve been recommending Lucifer to everyone and thought that you might like it too since you aren’t watching any new show.
I think I’ll try the books you recommended. As soon as I am finished with the tons of books at home, that is.
I do the same thing with the Harry Potter series! I’ve re-read them all at least 7 times 😳
Isn’t it great to literally always have them to read?
It is!! 🤗
I got book 1-5 of Harry P. for my b’day(even though I’ve read the series), planning what to do next…
Re-read it obviously 😀
