My favourite books of half a decade

In the last six years, my reading pattern has shifted and I find myself reading very less fiction. Now, reading is more about parenting and nature and also collecting reference books on history, astronomy, arts and music. This changing pattern is because of changes in life, which is transformed after becoming a mother. No amount of books can prepare for what lies ahead at different stages in a parent’s life but the books help me in creating my own village to raise a child.

I am creating a list of my favourite books, which I have read in half a decade. I will keep adding to it and also try to add my reviews/thoughts on these books in separate threads. I have created categories for these books but keeping two of my recent favourites outside of any of these categories.
