<p>If you are a book-lover, or a reader then - "hello, my friend". I love reading books. This is something I enjoy because it gives me break from screen, and I love to listen/read stories, know about other things.</p>
<p>I don't follow any specific genres. I just pick random books.</p>
<p>So, here is a list of my 2025 books (month wise) I am reading or finished . If you have any recommedation then do let me know at <a href="http://www.x.com">X</a>.</p>
<h5 class="smallText">PS: "The Daily Stotic" book has 365 thoughts. I try to read 1 page every day. I am tracking this monthly. Hence, you will see this in every month.</h5>
