This is a weekly event initially hosted by J. Kaye at J. Kaye's Book Blog, now by Sheila @ One Persons Journey through a world of Books, to celebrate what you are reading for the week as well as books completed the previous week.
Books completed last week

I didn't really get through all the four books I had planned to finish by today. But I finished two, and am halfway through the other two.
Books reviewed
- One Amazing Thing by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni

Saving Max
by Antoinette van Heugten: This one is slowly picking up pace, so I may read this one after all. Too early to say, I still have almost 300 pages to go.
