Welcome to the group, you three, hope you guys enjoy it here and have fun :)
No worries shahmir, group ain't dead yet, like ozair said the activity levels keep on changing, sometimes it is very high and some times quite low, right now it is low but it'll bounce back :)
@Faheem, thank you and I hope so. ^_^
Hi everyone...im anandu....I do like reading books....and im from india.....
Hope its ok with everyone as im in this group
I am doing my degree final year
Hi guys! I'm Aima. 👋🏻I love to read from the time I "learned" to read (does that even makes sense lol)
I stopped reading when I was in college because it was so uncool and nerdy and honestly I didn't had much time as I am a medical student
But! The good part is I started again back in 2nd Proff and still am continuing to pursue the pleasure of reading whenever I get time.
@AnaduWelcome to the group!And we don't mind if you're not Pakistani;We have at least one other Indian member @Bishwaraj though he isnt very active these days.
Welcome to the group Aima.I'm sure you'll get lots of recs that'll interest you.I know what you mean about having no time in Medical College,1 of my siblings is a doctor,2 still in Medical College.
It's Hectic to say the least.

Assalamualikum. I am Umer Zaman Khan, from abbottabad.
Thanks Elsa, Waqar, Abdullah and Maira.
Hello to every one! My name is aisha and I'm a literature major student. I love reading (well, duh. Everyone here does) and listening to music. I mostly prefer fantasy, paranormal, YA and romantic books. It was a pleasant surprise when I found this group because not many people enjoy reading in my social circle and to find fellow Pakistanis who are pasionate about reading just as much as me feels nice. And I just finished my latest books so I'm open to recommendations, preferably something humorous and romantic? Happy reading people! :)

For romance read book reviews of Nora Roberts and Judith McNaught.
@AishaHello and Welcome to the group.
As for your request i'd recommend you read A Walk to Remember or anything by Nicholas Sparks really.
Hey folks, I'm Sadiya, I'm a Software Engineer and some of my favorite authors are Mohsin Hamid, Arundhati Roy, Kamila Shamsie, Moshin Hamid, Jhumpa Lahiri and Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Of the last few books I read, my favorites are 'A place for us' by Fatima Farheen Mirza and 'The Story of a Brief Marriage' by Anuk Arudpragasam. Looking forward to discussing books I am reading or have read and get recommendations for what to read next.
Hello everybody, This is Muhib Farooqui, I am a student with an interest in political and historical non fiction and an (almost) unhealthy obsession with English literature in general. My favorite authors for fiction are: George Orwell, Ernest Hemingway, Mohsin Hamid, Mohammed Hanif and Paulo Coelho. Favourite Books: The Book Thief, Animal Farm, The Alchemist, Long walk to Freedom, The Motorcycle Diaries and The Autobiography of Malcolm X. Really look forward to hearing from all of you.
Hello and welcome to both of you,sorry for the late reply.Activity is on and off.
@Sadiya I'm sure you'd like the "Chit Chat" section for discussion among other things.
As for your interest in books,if you're an Urdu reader might i request Mushaf by Nimra Ahmed.
I'm reading it myslef.
@MuhibI too have a liking for political and historical on-fiction.Maybe you could try Oxford history for Pakistan by Peter Moss.
Although it's very brief,it's also very fun.
The Book thief was great and I've wanted to read the Autobiography of Malcolm X.
Assalam o Alikum. Masooma is my name :) jumped in here to introduce myself, also want to ask is anyone reading Becoming by Michelle Obama? Where can I get this in Rawalpindi/Islamabad? Also how much does it costs :p
Wa Alaikum Assalam.Welcome to the group Masooma.Maybe you could check for the book in Saeed Book Bank (Islamabad),It's my go to bookstore whenever I'm there.

Still considering it. :+)
Hello Masooma,Becoming is a well written book. I am halfway through and its great. I have it on kindle and can share incase someone wants it (if its not a violation of the groups rules).
Happy reading !

me, me, me
how does sharing work on kindle?
Shabana,kindles have a @kindle.com email associated with them which you can usually find by going to amazon.com/mycd and then preferences > personal document settings. Once there you just add an approved email in the Approved Personal Document E-mail List and anything sent in the correct format from that approved email to the kindle email will show up on your kindle.
I can email you the correct file which you can then send to your kindle from your email :)
Pretty easy !

Please do.
And I hope to discuss the book with you when I read it.
Thanks Saad :-)
Anyone here from South Sindh, like, Hyd, or Khi?
Welcome to the group Waqar.We do have people from those regions though I'm not sure how active they are these days.
Hello, I am Mansoor Anwar, currently a student of o level, medical sciences group. My priorities included Gaming, Cycling, playing sports etc until Ozair introduced me to the amazing world of book. (Thanks for that). I am new to this world and need serious guiding.
Welcome @Mansoor to this group and to the bookish world! It's amazing, isn't it??
Hey there!Welcome to the group, and the book community. xD
This is the most helpful, cooperative and enjoyable place ever and you’re going to make lots of friends and get lots of suggestions. If you have any questions, comments, suggestions or theories, go ahead and shoot. We’ll (and I guess I’m talking on behalf of all of us here) be always here to help. :’)
Make yourself at home!
Thanks alot for this support.Aqsa i find this new world amazing. And specially the book through which i entered "toby alone" , just short of words to describe that inordinate book. Yes i will need help to choose books after i ready toby and secrets of the tree

@Aqsa I can assure you you'll love Toby Alone
It's just too amazing to dislike.The uniqueness of the world,the way The past and present merge at one point,the writing style and just how unexpected the plot twists are make it exceptional.
