My BOOKISH COCOON

My reading journey began somewhere in 2010. Till then it was only academics that occupied a major portion of what was read and studied. I don't remember many of the books read. Infact I tried noting them down and writing reviews of the books in my diary. However couldn't succeed in it. So many of the books couldn't be listed in Goodreads too. How do you remember the books you read and what do you follow to remember the contents of the book? Ofcourse it doesn't matter HOW many books you read, what really matters is did a book change something in you for the BETTER?

Books were a solace in the toughest of times and cheered me more in my happiness . They came in to support when some people broke my trust, they were there when I was lonely, they were there when I felt lonely in the crowd. They were there when a friend left this world, they were there when mom was severely ill. They were also there in the happy times when I got the job, when I got married. I never realized this for years. Slowly when I got to realize all of it, I decided to pen down everything I feel after I read. I have had a blog since 2010 but never posted on it consistently after job happened, and then there were numerous reasons. Then I posted on Facebook whatever I read. But however it isn't satisfying me for various reasons.

So I have decided to take up this interest of reading to a blog. I have named my blog "BOOKISH COCOON"...After all its my cocoon, I feel so safe in there...
