Psychology is a wonderful subject, and these books are the introduction to Psychology. These two books were issued by the NIOS open school and covered the foundation of psychology. The books start with the chapter on what is psychology, its research methods and techniques, statistics and personality theories and ends with the holistic psychology and stress management. My favorite chapters were on learning and memory as that is what I was doing and I learned a lot from these two books overall.
These are the two history books issued by the NIOS and they cover the basics of Indian history since the Indus Valley and Harappan civilization until the modern times. My favorite historical time is always the ancient history and I love reading about the Cold War. My least favorite period is the Mughal Empire and the Delhi Sultanate in which I have to remember lots of Persian-Arabic-Urdu words and the administration system seems to be quite complex.
This is my most favorite course ever. I struggle to remember what kind of mountains are there and soil etc but I just love the sense of "travelling the world and being in nature". These books were issued by the NIOS open school and I have enjoyed reading them. Although, I might not be able to study Geography college level, I still love the physical geography, cartography, geology and other Earth sciences. It gives me the sense of being close to nature and being a world traveler which I love.
"English" by NIOS for 12th grade is an English book full of stories as well as how to write a letter or attend a job interview. Good stuff. I have quite enjoyed the stories, although most of them are for the younger age level than mine. Some of them were uncomplicated, therefore boring to me being a forty year old, however I did find them to be heart warming.
I decided to complete my 12th in humanities and one of the courses is Data Entry Operations which I was kind of forced to choose but I'm happy with it as it's polishing my basic computer skills (very basic) but I find it still challenging as I have never had to use Excel or Power Point Presentations or Mail Merge.
This is the dictionary of the English idioms, and I must say it has all the useful ones.
Short story book for kids (7 grade). I picked it up at the library in society and I have read one story that was about overcoming fear. Although at 40 I sometimes feel bored reading stories for kids, this story actually carried a strong message.
"Early India" by Romila Thapar is a history of prehistoric India and of India before the forming of the states. It's amazing but it's thick. I will return to this post after I read it.
Great book on Emotions that my daughter's teacher Tapan sir has gifted her after she admitted having an exam anxiety. She doesn't seem to be reading it at the moment, although she has started it, so I have started reading it. It seems useful and amazing and I will come back to this post after I finished it.
They say it's a good book on business, so I will come back here after I read it.
Wonderful book on Algebra for dummies. Yes, I consider myself a a dummy when it comes to Math, but I don't necessarily want to stay a dummy. I wanted to study Statistics because I like Psychology and Geography and they both have Statistics, but in order to study Statistics for dummies I was adviced to first complete Algebra 1 for dummies. I have covered the free section of the book about the prime numbers etc and it's started to warm up towards equations a bit, so will come back to this review after I complete this book.
I have purchased and read 30 pages of this book as I want to learn more about technology. It has been extremely interesting and I'll get back to this post after I read this book.
A lovey book on tarot by Rachel Pollack that has become a classic and the favourite tarot book of many people. I am reading it on and off and I've loved it so far. I will continue this review later on.

Whitley Strieber is sharing in this book his experience of alien abduction. The book is quite famous and a classic in the genre. I haven't read the full book, just the free trial section and either way, I must say, the story is interesting as a writing as well. The write was previously a successful sci-fi writer, and I could feel the mastery and expertise in the writing.
I will continue reading this book after I purchase it on Google Books and will complete this review later.
