Hi Readers! How are we already at the end of February? This month went by as quickly as January went by slowly. Despite literally being a shorter month, I got to do a lot of things aside from working like a slog during the week days. I travelled, I visited art galleries, I went on a solo date & I made sushi! But, let’s start with the reading, shall we?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

~~BOOKS~~<\/mark><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I read three books across 803 pages in February.<\/strong><\/mark> My reading has become much less compared to the past years. So, I am thinking of changing my reading target for the year. There is no way I would be able to read 90 books. Will probably change it to about 50. *sobs* It\u2019s difficult to take out reading time during the work week. And, if I keep reading only for weekend, that\u2019s just eight days in a month. How sad is that? Anyway, check out the books I read, mediocre in quantity as well as quality, for the most part.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

~~THE FURY by ALEX MICHAELIDES~~<\/mark><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I read Alex Michaelides\u2019 third book The Fury. Just like the previous two books, it let me down. Yes, it is a lot different than his earlier books even if it\u2019s a mystery. In some ways, this attempt is the best one yet, but somehow it lost its way. I thought the book had a lot of potential because of the narration. When I started the book, I loved how the author\u2019s writing style had enhanced. The narration from Elliot Chase, from the outset felt like it was entirely unhinged and would perhaps lead us astray in the best possible way. But despite this brilliant idea and initial spark it created, it soon foundered and became just about satisfactory. I have rated The Fury by Alex Michaelides at 2\/5 stars!<\/strong><\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n
