Over the past couple of months, I've read a few books that I didn't get a chance to review yet. These were all enjoyable in different ways and are recommended reads. A Will to Kill by R. V. Raman I've been looking for an Indian mystery for a while now. So when I came across A Will to Kill in Netgalley set in one of my favorite places in India (also close to my home town), I just had to request it. In so many ways, this is a typical Agatha Christie type mystery - there's a death (in an isolated mansion, no less) and the investigator/detective tries to solve the mystery. Harith Athreya is visiting the owner of the mansion, Bhaskar Fernandez, where a small gathering has been planned for the owner's relatives and friends. Bhaskar has written two wills - and how he dies will determine which will goes into effect. That night, there is a murder and Athreya spends the next few days trying to find the culprit. I generally enjoy the Agatha Christie class of murder mysteries.
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.
What a week and weekend it has been! I managed to get a lot of posts out of the way this week, and spent the weekend clearing off a lot of items from my don't-you-dare-procrastinate to-do list. I did manage to cross out some items, but there's still a long way. When will the day come that I won't have a single item on my list?

Reviews up!
Books on my nightstand
Well, I'm officially clearing out my nightstand today, because my family's going to stay with me for 3 months, and I want to spare them any anxieties thanks to the tons of books lying around. I can't help what the mailman brings in or what I carry in from the library, but my nightstand and shelves will just have to get pruned up a bit. (At least my dad loves to read, so maybe I can tempt him a bit by planting some good thrillers around.) I was supposed to clean up on Friday, but well, you know, some of the books were asking me to read them right away, and I didn't really feel like abandoning them on their shelves - not yet. You know how that goes?
