I know it’s not a Tuesday, but I am highly inspired by In between spines and That Artsy Reader Girl (thank you!) to do this post. I have written top 5 recent additions to my bookshelf for you to have a sneak peek of what I will be reading next. So here we go!
1) Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Noah Harari
Print Length: 399 pages
Format: eBook
Publisher: Vintage Digital
The book has been a phenomenal success worldwide and I wasn’t eager to read until I heard the podcast interview On How To Set Expectations by Jay Shetty and Yuval Noah Harari. This interview piqued my interest in this book and I read some sample pages on my kindle—it is an easy read, I confess.

2) The Vine Witch by Luanne G. Smith
Print Length: 263 pages
Format: eBook
Publisher: 47North
The Vine Witch was an impulse buy. I read the summary and it has something to do with wine and witchcraft. Plus, it is YA and look at the gorgeous cover!
Sold.

3) Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman
Print Length: 400 pages
Format: Paperback
Publisher: HarperCollins
Gail Honeyman’s debut novel Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine is a genre of its own. It was awarded Début Book of the Year at British Book Awards 2018. We (me and classmates) were given some takeaway books by HarperCollins when we visited their production house in Glasgow as a part of a study tour. It’s a bookish dream come true, undoubtedly.

4) Atomic Habits by James Clear
Print Length: 288 pages
Format: Paperback
Publisher: Random House Business Books
I am a self-help book junkie. Anything that motivates me to experiment and work better with substantial evidence to support the claims and principles is how I like my daily dose of encouragement. Plus, I am reading it with a book buddy to make my self-help book reading more interesting. I first tried the audio-book; a chapter in and I needed it in paperback.

5) Garlic, Mint and Sweet Basil by Jean-Claude Izzo
Print Length: 120 pages
Format: eBook
Publisher: Europa Editions
I am excited to add this title to my pile high list of food fiction collection that needs to be read and written about. This will probably be my first introduction to Mediterranean cuisine food writing. I love food, books and travel; the title sounds delicious!
