"I think we ought to read only the kind of books that wound and stab us." Franz Kafka
For any author who would like his/her book to be reviewed, contact me. Poetry books too are solicited for reviewing. However, there are some genres I tend to avoid. Feel free to ask me.

I must mention here that I read at my own pace and depending on my mood. Don't ask me to hurry.
It’s Earth Day … what are you reading? Are your reading habits changing for the sake of the environment? What are you doing for the sake of the planet today?
What I enumerate here is what I have been doing for a long time to save our earth:
1) I always write on both sides of paper. If one side has print on it, I use the other side to jote down lists, thoughts and so many other stuff.
2) I try re-using envelopes, paper clips, files and folders.
3) I clean the AC filters once a week.
4) I also clean the refrigerator regularly.
5) I make use of low wattage CFL to light up my rooms.
6) I use jute bags to carry stuff.
7) I turn off electrical appliances when those are not in use. That includes my PC too!
8) I email instead of writing paper letters.
9) I am a member of a car pool, which saves on the fuel.
10) I water my plants early in the morning or late in the evenings.
The list is, in no way, exhaustive...

I re-use paper too! I have a big stack of paper that's only been used on one side - it's my scrap paper.
Great answers! Happy BTT....

sadly, i am at a juncture where i need to use loads of print outs ... but am reducing it , and trying to avoid late nights to avoid electricity wastage
great job that you are doing !
I do my part also! Thank you for coming by this day!
Happy Earth Day!
I do all those things too. My BTT is here.
Great list! I try to do most of those things, too - although I'm always forgetting about the fridge cleaning. I should go do that right now! Happy Earth Day!
