Well, I have a habit of selecting a few books well in advance of a season. The same formula applies for a month, week, and day. So, when the winter was about to start, I had to finalize my to-read list for the next few months. For winter, my choice of books includes that give me a little warmth that is very much needed. Something that warms not only my heart but also my emotions and soul. For that purpose, I don't mind reading an old book again that I am sure will fulfill my this particular inner demand. So, here are the 10 books that I arranged and added to my to-read list for this winter:
- Einstein: A Life of Genius (The True Story of Albert Einstein) by Alexander Kennedy: We all know a lot about Einstein and his great achievements. Yet this book has a lot of interesting stuff about this great man that is not known or known with lesser clarity.

- The Real Food Version Cookbook: Over 100 Quick & Easy American Favorite Dishes, Recipes for kids(minimally processed, free of common allergens)Delicious, ... & healthy, Tasty, Quickly, Easy Recipes by Efrat Petel: The recipes are simple yet the preparations are sumptuous.

This book (check here) helps in understanding the meaning and value of real food rather than tasty food, fast food, easy food, and so many other misguiding philosophies.

- Meeting Shiva: Falling and Rising in Love in the Indian Himalayas by Tiziana Stupia: Meeting Shiva: Falling and Rising in Love in the Indian Himalayas by Tiziana Stupia (here is the link) is a journey of life. It is a journey in many ways – a journey to find your real self, a journey in search of truth, a journey to find out the real meaning of love, a journey to find out the real purpose of life, a journey beyond the journey. It is, in fact, an autobiography presented in a very realistic and touching way. A lot of truth is revealed in this – about God and God worshipers. The book in a way is quite inspiring while taking you through all ups and downs of life.
- The Kennedy Half-Dollar by Mahree Moyle: The Kennedy Half Dollar is more than a life story written by Mahree Moyle. It depicts the pain of life, memoir, autobiography, self-realization of the truth of life, and beyond. Mahree Moyle is a powerful writer, well-proven in her debut novel The Kennedy Half Dollar published by iUniverse Inc., Bloomington, United States. Right from the cover to story narration, this book strongly hooks you engrossingly from page one till you reach up to the end of the story. While reading this book, you get engaged in the story so as to become a part of it making you feel as if you are witnessing whatever happens in it, right in front of you. That is what happens if the story is written from the heart. You not only feel the pain suffered by the main character of this story, but you also witness a heinous crime while traveling through this journey. (Book link).
- Living with Merlin: Coping with grief, living life by Anita Bakshi: Living With Merlin by Anita Bakshi is a book of spelling out the hardest grief of her life. I will call it a book of consolidation. A consolidation that is essential when all of a sudden something unexpected occurs in life. It is like assessing the balance sheet of your life after a tsunami. Meeting your soulmate doesn't happen in everybody's life. And spending the sweetest phase of your life with your soulmate is a blessing. That too when everything is going well in all aspects. And then when the biggest jerk of your life snatches your soulmate away from you, forever, brings a big disaster. A disaster where nothing looks good in life. When you have to drag every moment of your life in a forceful manner. Where nothing looks good. And you are not able to cope up with that sudden void or blank in life. (Link).
