50 books

By | 29/12/2013

Ok finally I completed 50 Book Challenge for the year 2013.

During the year I read and blogged the book reviews. Unfortunately during the year  I shifted my blog from Sulekha to my own site www.sanjeevkotnala.com and hence many of the reviews are not available.

 Quite a lot (8-9 of the last read)  lot are yet to be reviewed as I was more concerned with finishing reading 50 books as part of annual challenge than to write their review.

So here are my list- within each section the books are not stacked by the order
