Intro

I’m back, as promised. Yay, me!

November 2025 Reading Roundup

This was going to be a light month in terms of reading, no thanks to ongoing health issues and shitty work situation. I read aabridged version of a classic The Hunchback of Notre Dame. And then I tried to finish something I started back in August 2025.

And that’s all that’s on Goodreads. Read a few other stories, but nothing on Goodreads or worth mentioning here on my blog.

How was your November 2025 bookwise?

Currently Reading (or trying to…)

Back to Carrie Fisher’s Delusions of Grandma, doesn’t look like I’m going to finish it.

Carried Forward from July 2025

Delusions of Grandma by Carrie Fisher

Started on July 8th, for the third time since this book came into my possession and honestly, can’t relate to Carrie—who people find quirky, self-aware, and sharp.

Parking aside as “to-read” instead of “currently-reading”.

Little Women by Louisa May Alcott

Began on July 21st. I know, I know… “Finally?” Yes. I’m late to the March sisters party, but better late than never. Current thoughts: Jo is everything people promised me she’d be. Also because “Little Women played an important role in The Giver of Stars. I would have finished it if it was not an ebook. Trying to reduce screentime, you see. Parking aside as “to-read” instead of “currently-reading”.

Planned for December 2025

Ever since receiving the 10Kg surprise box, I had planned that I will read all Indian authors at once. December 2025 is going to be about that, so I finish strong. For that, wait till next month’s recap.
