The Bookizie Tag

I had planned to do this tag a long time ago, but somehow it just got missed. After reading Tshhar's last post, I finally set my banana fingers to work....

My somewhat rusted memory informs me that I'd read some of these books very long ago. The titles are just vaguely familiar. And in some cases, like the Agatha Christie ones, I usually just read the pages at the beginning and the end. So that qualifies as scanning. NOT reading.

One more thing. I dunno if I'm allowed to do this, but I've added one more rule to this tag. I apologize for the adulteration.....

RULES:
*Bold the titles you've read
*Italicize the ones you want to read
*Leave blank the ones that you aren't interested in.
* Add any 5 titles of your choice in this list,before you pass on the tag.

New Rule: Rate the books you have read from '*' (1) to '* * * * *' (5).


Agatha Christie - Sad Cypress * * * *
Ayn rand - The fountainhead
Ayn rand - Atlas shrugged
Anurag Mathur - The inscrutable Americans
Arthur Hailey- Hotel
Alistair maclean - The guns of navarone
Anne frank- The diary of a young girl * * * * 1/2
Danielle Steel - Full circle
Enid Blyton - the famous five series * * *
Jeffery Archer - Not a penny more and not a penny less
Jackie collins - Hollywood wives
James Hadley Chase - An ear to the ground
Ken follet - A place called freedom
Mario Puzo - the Godfather
Micheal Crichton - Airframe
Mills and boons (only two books after being okayed by my cousin. So don't u scream at me!!) * * *

Sidney Sheldon - A stranger in the mirror
Agatha Christie - Curtain [ Poirot's last case ] [and my first Christie novel]* * * 1/2

Cutting people off isn’t strength—It is a trauma response

Your ability to cut people off and self-isolate is not a skill you should be proud of—It is a trauma response Cutting people off and self-isolating may feel like a protective shield, but it is often rooted in unresolved or unhealed trauma and an inability to depend on others. While these behaviors seem like self-preservation, they end up reinforcing isolation and blocking meaningful connections. Confronting these patterns, seeking therapy, and nurturing supportive relationships can help break this unhealthy cycle. Plus, a simple act like planting a jasmine plant can symbolise the start of your journey towards emotional healing. Why do we cut people off and isolate? If you’re someone who prides themselves on “cutting people off” or keeping a tight circle, you might believe it’s a skill—a way to protect yourself from betrayal, hurt, or unnecessary drama. I get it. I’ve been there, too. But here’s the thing: this ability to isolate yourself is not as empowering as it may seem. In fact, i...

Prosperity blueprint: How one investor turned real estate into a living energy field for wealth

Wealth vastu case study: How one investor turned real estate into wealth In this wealth vastu case study, we explore how Choden, a seasoned investor, transformed underperforming rental properties into a thriving energy field of wealth using ancient Vastu principles, energetic space alignment, and simple rituals. The outcome—lower vacancies, higher ROI, and a profound sense of financial ease and energetic harmony. Why do some properties multiply wealth — and others drain it? Have you ever walked into a home that immediately made you feel calm, confident, and somehow richer inside — even if nothing in your bank account changed? And then, there are those other places — beautiful on paper, perfectly located — yet every time you enter, something feels off. Money slips away faster. Tenants leave. Repairs pile up. You can’t quite explain it, but you feel it. That’s where our wealth vastu case study begins — not with numbers, but with energy. This story isn’t about buying more l...
