Nice to meet you

My name is Khulood (Which means eternity) I'm 18 years old and I love books. I've finished high school last year and I'm taking this year off to prepare myself mentally for college. I have always loved books and reading, but this year my love has increased since I don't really have anything to do with myself beside sitting all day and reading. And so this blog was created to document my reading process, my reading list and my reviews for some books I liked.

Currently I'm reading Revolutionary Road by Richard Yates, which if you don't know tells the story of two marriage couple; Frank and April Wheeler. Boy, these two are the perfect example for deluded people. The book is nothing I expected, I thought I'm going to be captivated by it, unable to put it down not until I finish all it's 463 pages. However, that's not happened, and I have already read more than 160 pages. So I won't be so surprised if I abandon the book eventually.

Anyways, here's a list of books I really really really want to read:
Tatiana And Alexander - Paullina Simons (I read The Bronze Horseman which is the first book in a trilogy of an amazing love story in the middle of the second world war. It's probably the best book I've read in my life! If you haven't heard of it\haven't read it, you must must must read it, it has everything you would wish for in a book)
The Summer Garden - Paullina Simons (The third book in The Bronze Horseman trilogy)
Her Fearful Symmetry - Audrey Niffenegger (I've read the author's 1st Novel: The Time Traveler's Wife and fell in love with her style)
Handle With care - Judi Picoult (Sad book, I love sad books. Not to mention I loved My Sister's Keeper)

OK, so that's it. Nice to meet you. If you love books as much as I do I hope to hear from you.
Have a nice day everyone.
Bye.

  1. Khulood, just discovering your blog! Can't wait to read all the entries. I just finished the Summer garden and am heartbroken at having no more Alexander and Tatiana ahead! Can't wait to read book recommendations from you. I too LOVED the Time Traveler's wife but didnt really love her Fearful Symmetry, and haven't tackled a lot of Jodi Picoult. Thanks!
