Monday: Mailbox/What Am I reading?
Mailbox Monday is a gathering place for readers to share the books that came into their house last week and explore great book blogs. Mailbox Monday can lead to envy, toppling TBR piles and humongous wish lists. It has finally found a permanent home at Mailbox Monday with the following new administrators:
Leslie of Under My Apple Tree
Serena of Savvy Verse & Wit
Vicki of I'd Rather Be at the Beach

I received two books this past week, thanks to the publicist:
Both the novels are techno-thrillers...
Death Never Sleeps by E. J. Simon
Death Logs In by E. J. Simon
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hosted by Sheila @ One Person's Journey Through a World of Books. We discuss the books that we've read and what we're planning to read for the week.
It has been around three months and I have only been reading romances. Life has been kinda busy so reading romances seems like light reading. I have finished more that 230 novels till date. My goal was to read 150. I am feeling good but I know I need to read serious stuff. Maybe in the next two months, I will do that!

A Readathon tradition! In your final Readathon post, answer these questions and then link to it with the Mr. Linky, below.

24 Hour Read-a-thon: Hour 4
In the last 4 hours, I have gone out to get stuff and cooked dinner and had it too with my mom.
I have started another India Grey novel, Taken for Revenge, Bedded for Pleasure (192 pages)
I have had no time to do any of the mini challenges till date.
NO CHEERLEADER HAS VISITED MY BLOG SO FAR.
24 Hour Read-a-thon: Startup post/Introduction meme
24 Hour Read-a-thon is here. I am at the starting line. Here I go with an e-book on my tab. Kinda of convenient, being with the computer!
I am going to read a romance.
Introduction meme
1)Where are you reading from today?
New Delhi, India
2)Three random facts about me…
I love tea
I love doing Math Puzzles
I walk barefoot at home
3)How many books do you have in your TBR pile for the next 24 hours?
I will pick at random. No plans made..
4)Do you have any goals for the read-a-thon (i.e. number of books, number of pages, number of hours, or number of comments on blogs)?
I have not made any plans. I will read, visit blogs, comment on my whim

Just don't stress, be relaxed and have fun

24 Hour Read-A-Thon: October 18/19, 2014
2014 has been a good reading year for me. I have finished more than 200 books till date. So reading for the Read-A-Thon should not be a problem. I have decided to read only romance novels for it. That will help elevate the numbers!!
I also hope this will help me getting back to full time blogging. I know I have been slacking in that arena for few months now.
