Day 4 – Review of Three cups of tea and Stones into school

For the day 4 of the project 30days 30 books, I am here reviewing books that moved me and inspire me to work in education sector. This isn’t a review only for the books but also a summary for the good work that the author Greg Mortensen has taken up.

Three cups of tea was published in 2006 authored by Greg Mortensen and David Oliver Relin. The book gives an account of Greg Mortensen’s first visit to Korphe after a failed attempt to climb K2 and the journey of building schools that started from there in 1997 till late 2003.

Day 3 - Book Review of "How I braved Anu aunty and co-founded million dollar company" reviewed by Shrinidhi Hande

My today's post come from Shrinidhi Hande who has been more than kind to share some of the book reviews from his blog.

Shrinidhi is a Bangalore based IT proffessional who is travel enthusisat and a wonderful blogger. I believe he is an ardant reader too. He has several articles, talks and blog events to his accounts. You can read a bit more about Shrinidhi here - http://www.enidhi.net/2009/05/about-me.html

In this review Shrinidhi writes a review of "How I braved Anu aunty and co-founded million dollar company" by Varun Agarwal.

Here is an extract from the review -

After receiving the book few weeks ago, it didn't get my priority for various reasons and I read it only this weekend. It turned out to be an insightful as well as entertaining read. More importantly, it is no joke or humor but real story by and large.

Varun agarwal is the author of this book. He is also the co founder of almamaterstore.in, an ecommerce initiative that sells school specific merchandise (like t-shirts) to alumnus of respective schools. The Book "How I braved Anu Aunty and co founded a million dollar company" is his experience account in overcoming personal challenges and setting up this company, which is now valued at over a million dollar.

Day-2 Book Review - Fifty shades

Here comes the day 2 of my latest project – 30 days 30 books…I am glad that I have some contributors so I can probably skip some days by just offering you their reviews to read…

But today I bring the second book from the list of ten books I promised.

“Fifty Shades of Grey” and the next two in the series – "Fifty shades darker" and "fifty shades freed".

30 days 30 books

It has been 8 days since Ultimate Blog Challenge got over and I have taken a well-deserved break from reading and writing blog over a week.

With sudden absence of blogs in my life, I once again found a lot of free time to read and read three books in eight days.

While I wrote the book review for “And the mountains echoed” I got inspired to create this project to write 30 book reviews over next 30 days.

Of course, it is going to be a struggle to write one post each day given the schedule I can see for me during the next week. However, there are several holidays and I hope to catch up during those days.

Also, I request guest bloggers to help me out here. If you have already written, or willing to write a review for your favorite book or a book you recently read, just let me know in the comments below. I would love to add your post here.

If you would like to read a review of a particular book, please feel free to name. If I or any of the guest bloggers have read, or get a chance to read it, we will share the review for you.

Here are the books that I promise to write about in first ten days-
