O India! Where did you and I go wrong? Of the five books I meant to review, I completed three. July saw me never quite in sync with my reading list. Was I overly ambitious? – things did seem to fall apart when I tackled the nonfiction titles.

So to recap (follow the links if you missed a review):

• The Hundred-Foot Journey by Ricard C. Morais

• Chef by Jaspreet Singh

• India: A Thousand Words by Erika Derrickson

The two books that stonewalled me:

• Field Notes on Democracy: Listening to Grasshoppers, Essays by Arundhati Roy

• An Autobiography by M.K. Gandhi

And my favorite book from the July list? Can’t you guess? A Hundred-Foot Journey by Richard C. Morais.

Coming up in August:
Lots of short story collections… as many as I can manage. So if you have any favorites you’d like to pass along – comment below. The more the merrier!
