Bits of my day

A few weeks ago, I shared a post about the book I was reading at the time- And the Mountains Echoed (gift from my bf). It was a beautiful read, with a plot that took pivotal turns, stirring a whirligig of emotions in the reader. Yet, it also knew when to slow down sublimely, allowing moments of reflection to ponder over the aftermath of its climax. I was completely hooked, never skipping a page, and finished it within a month.
Midway through, I picked up another book from a genre I don’t usually read-Halo: The Fall of Reach. It was another gift from my dear boyfriend, who is absolutely stoked about the Halo universe
. I made it through 100 pages before he surprised me with another book, one that I’m currently engrossed in- The Striker. This one is romantic, sexy, and everything you could ask for in the romance genre. I'm already on page 118 in just five days
.
On a different note, I had some stomach pain today and took meds for it-hoping it subsides completely soon. I kept lunch light with raw papaya curry and pointed gourd with sprouts curry.
What did you have for your recent meal?

I'm glad you're enjoying the books your bf is giving you.
I hope you feel better quickly.
I ate steamed broccoli with spices for breakfast this morning and am thinking about going in and finding something for a snack now... My tummy is rumbling.

Hehe. Yes. He too loves to read. He got a thrift deal on books in his college campus. It is really sweet of him to send me books from the genre I like.

@Dreamerby Often they're sweet but you can have savoury ones.

I used to read a lot of novels as a young girl and can't now for my weak eye sight. For lunch I had fish and rice. Some dal and fried lady's finger.

I skipped lunch due to being very very busy. I am not a huge fan of reading books
