[...] Karadi mama comes home, thanks to YadaYada. She always asks my children what they want for their birthday and they always send her on wild goose chases like this. But when she asks me, I give her something tangible to work with So we are now proud owners of Karadi’s four new hard bound books – The Lizard’s tail, When The Earth Lost Its Shapes, The Boy Who Drew Cats and The Rumour. Expect reviews soon. Right now its time to show off our bookshelf. [...]

I last visited you soon after LB was born. U had stopped updating then.and i forgot to update my reader and now thanks to Saffron Tree, i found you again.

I simple love your bookshelf. Its something which I always wanted..and one nice cozy chair to sit and read books…..

I also like the concept of rotating books..will keep it mind when i get my own book shelf

i was reminded of myself when I read your rules for people borrowing your books…ha ha ha

UTBT SAYS: Thanks Lavs. WRT borrowing books, I am not alone then

Nice bookshelf – looks cozy and inviting – the way a “real” bookshelf should be – not like the shiny bookshelves (filled with must read but nevery actually read books) in magazines

Maybe you can do a post on Tamil books appropriate for preschool kids some time.

UTBT SAYS: Thanks Priya. Tamil books for preschoolers… There are some tulika books. I will try compiling a list.

First time commenting here, though I have been reading your blog on and off.
Lot of thought and work had gone into that book shelf. Great Job!
I admire you for choosing something you love rather than stuck to the mainstream IT work !!!
Wish I can find something I like and good at.

UTBT SAYS: Hello Suja. Welcome to my space.

Such a lovely bookshelf and such a nice ritual. How do you find time to read with 2 kids, a job and housework? I just don’t find the time… though someone inside me says that I am just lazy and I can find the time if I want!

UTBT SAYS: I am the kind of person who likes my private indoor time ever now and then. So books are perfect for me. May be you have other interests! People always make time for things that matters the most to them.

Wow, nice to see so much thought go into the bookshelf. Looks really good. Particularly liked the ‘rotate & retire’ idea. btw, always been curious. Who do u read these days (aside from the children’s books u review)?

UTBT SAYS: I am mostly a fiction person. Last summer I read the Twilight series, The hurried child, Power of play, revised Harry Potter, revised Ponniyin Selvan. I tried the first of the Blue Bloods, which I did not like. Right now I have with me Eat Pray Love (recommended by Tharini), The Psychology of Humor and Imagining India (suggested by Boo). Eat, Pray, Love is wonderful, but it takes time for me to digest the information. Considering that I have school related reading too, it is taking me much longer to finish Eat, Pray, Love. So I may not even open Psychology of humor and Imagining India.
