Let her rest now by Vijay Nair was book 1. The invitation by Anne Cherian was book 2. The Bat by Jo Nesbo was book 3. So the verdict is disappointed, okayish and manageable on the three so far.
Book 4. In the Sea There are Crocodiles: Based on the True Story of Enaiatollah Akbari Just finished this book and I'm absolutely stunned. This is a magical magical book.

hehehehe no, book 5 to be exact. Done reading The Hamilton Case By Michelle de Krester. Slow at first, engrossing later on.
Book 6 A Memory of Light completed. This one was one of the hardest books to finish. It was bloody emotional. This series made me fall in love with fantasy 7 years ago. And the story has ended.
@kevin only physical ones. I can't read ebooks. Don't get the same passion. I need the smell of pages. lol.
Book 7 Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood by Oliver Bowden. Not exactly what I expected. Certainly didn't expect Ezio to fall in love. Well, doesn't happen in the game. Nevertheless, it was actually fun reading it. i need to read the 1st book though.
Oh crap! I played the wrong game i guess. Funny though, I didn't expect Ezio to be capable of love. I mean he is, but it was always the Brotherhood's missions for him. I need to play that game
Book 8 The Anza Deception, completed. Socio-political thriller in the heart of India. Fast paced and full of action with twists and turns. A definite page turner. Much much better than the Durjoy Dattas.
Book 9 Desperate in Dubai, completed. I just read the Asian version of Desperate Housewives and Sex in the City.

Can't believe I took a week long break. But now am back. Book 10 The War Ministry completed. final book of the Raisina Series - This is one of the only reasons I keep coming back to Indian authors. Beautifully written, he is India's answer to Jeffrey Archer

Book 11. The Cry of the Newborn by James Barclay. Completed. A different fantasy. My first Barclay novel, though this work is not so popular, i picked it up because the books were huge and the synopsis sounded interesting. Needless to say, wasn't disappointed.
Book 12 A Shout For The Dead by James Barclay. A fitting end to the tale. One of those rare fantasy works that is equally complex and captivating.
Book 13 Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami. Wow is all I've got for this one. Its no wonder Mr. Murakami is one of the best literary fiction geniuses. This book is outrageous. This book is spellbinding
Book 14 Domes of Fire by David Eddings. This read is not a part of the ongoing challenge. Just had too many pending fantasy books to read and decided to start with this one. Will give it a 4/5 but before i continue on the rest of the trilogy, i think i will pick up the previous trilogy. To be noted that both the trilogies are separate, yet it helps knowing what adventures created these wonderful characters
Book 15 Dawnthief by James Barclay. One of the best sword and sorcery novels i've read. Only next to Goodkind.
Book 16 Nine Princes in Amber by ROger Zelazny. Read this book as part of the Fantasy 2013 Challenge. Its a good beginning. The books aren't huge. Just above 100 pages and the characters are loveable. No wonder this is one of those fantasy classics.
Goodness knows I've haven't been to goodreads for ages. I've been reading but hardly updating. Anyway am here now. Book 17 is House Rules by Jodi Picoult. One thing you should know about Picoult. She will make you cry. She will. And you'll be powerless. You can't stop reading her. House Rules is the story of Jacob, a teenager with Aspergers accused of murder. Brilliant book!
