[Batool✨]

i think @uzair is still reading notes, I'm done so is @zarshal, btw coming towards October buddy read, what y'all want to read?

[Zarshal]

Lord of the Flies? I’m open to suggestions honestly.

[Hifza]

I'm up for lord of the flies

[Batool✨]

i remember hearing this name but i exactly don't know what's it about? like to tell me huh?

[Ramla Zareen]

Hi,
I haven't read Lord of the Flies, but I did come across an article where it was stated that the same thing that happened in the book—a group of boys getting stranded on an island—actually happened in real life as well. However, the real-life outcome was a lot different than what was described in the book.

Here's the link to the article if you anyone is interested in checking it out:

https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theg...

I suggest you read it after the book though. The article compares the book's ending to the real-life outcome, so reading it first might spoil the book for you.

Anyway, I found it interesting, so I thought I'd share :-)

[Zarshal]

@Ramla, thank you! I’ll def check it out after reading the book.

Y’all maybe we should start reading and if anyone else wants to join they can, whenever? What do you guys say?

[Zarshal]

@Ramla do you want to join in too?

[Hifza]

[Zarshal]

Thank you so much for the invite @Zarshal. I would have loved to join you guys, but I'm reading another book series, and I'm enjoying it too much to leave it at this point. But you guys enjoy Lord of the Flies. I'll hopefully join you next time. Happy Reading :-)

[Zarshal]

No worries @Ramla, thankyou!
Have funn reading your series (:

[Ramla Zareen]

Thanks @Zarshal :-)

[Zarshal]

How’s it going people? Sorry, busy weekend. But I am reading.

[Hifza]

Too busy with finals week at uni. Might start later this week.

AlthoughI have read half way through some years ago and I do remember it in parts xD

[Nigham]

Hiiii there! Hope you all doing great and zinda salamat like I left you guys. :p

[Zarshal]

Heyyy! It’s so good to see you here again. We’re doing fine hbu? xD

[Nigham]

It's been a long looooong while since I last commented here... hell long while since I used gr haha. And seeing new people here I feel like I need to introduce myself. I'm an oldie of this group. One of the founders of this thread you can say. Tab we used to be bachy, you see and now I can't stop typing (probably excited to be back, haha) ... anyway may I join you people?

[Thall]

No.

[Zarshal]

Ofcourse. We’re reading Lord of the Flies. (As you’ve probably already guessed from the name xD)

[Hifza]

[Nigham]

Thank you Zarshal. Me too, alhamdulillah.

[Batool✨]

This is the hallmark of a great personality that even through transfigurations it remains what it always set out to be.

[Ramla Zareen]

Hello @Nigham. Good to hear from you. Glad you're doing well :-)

[Uzair]

@Nigham
Hullo , nice to have you back

Oh and it's actually Genio 3.0 , you missed the Jogi Badmaash era

[Nigham]

Haha omg, I didn't know it's actually him. I thought it's someone new with Genio category.

@Uzair, nah I was here in that era... just was less active. How are you doing?

[Nigham]

I haven't started book yet, but read very mixed reviews about it.

[Hifza]

@nigham I haven't started either. will start next week :) fingers crossed however.

Funny how the both of us still refer to him as Genio hahaha. We're like one big family and Genio plays the caring but also brooding older brother.

Yes that era was quite dead for the group wasn't it

Other than that things are going swimmingly Alhumdulilah. Recently got back into reading and am learning to enjoy the finer genres.

Hbu?

[Batool✨]

@uzair, you joining in the buddy read?

[Nigham]

@Uzair, haha yeah he is Genio na.

Acha good. I too am trying to get back into reading and nothing would be more helpful than this thread. I have been experiencing reader's block (if that's a thing) since 2 years or so. Went from reading 50-60 books per year to 1-2 book. I even tried new genres but nah, didn't work. Infact ended up starting multiple readings of multiple genres.

[Nigham]

@ Hifza, I read somewhere above you're into mystery, romance-suspense kinda read? Ever heard about In Death series?

[Zarshal]

@Nigham reader block def is a thingg! I went through it a few months back and it sucks, I know. It kinda helped me read short YA books, colleen hoover types to get me out. I also re-read my favourite books and that helped too. Maybe try Khalid Hosseini or Elif Shafak?
Lord of the Flies is like mid-way between boring and bearable. But it’s interesting in places too. Not too bad.

[Hifza]

hey nigham :D
I'm not too keen on specific genres yet. I haven't heard of that series but I'll check it out ;)

[Ramla Zareen]

@Nigham

I read a few books of "In Death" series a long time ago. It's Romantic Suspense with a touch of Science Fiction, right? As far as I remember, I enjoyed the books I read, but I then moved on to other genres. Currently I'm on a Romantic Suspense spree though, so I might check out the later books of the series one of these days. See if I still enjoy it :-)

The series I'm reading nowadays actually falls under the same category. Romance, Mystery, and Thriller. Plus a bit of Science Fiction. I'm enjoying it so far. My only issue is some of the Romantic scenes are too explicit for me. Still, the books are good enough that I don't mind having to skip a few pages here and there. I especially appreciate the underlying theme of family bond and loyalty :-)

Anyway, I'm very much into Romantic Suspense these days. If you know of any good books in this genre then please do let me know.

Here are some I've already read and enjoyed:

Thank you :-)

[Nigham]

@Zarshal I started Colleen many times, but would get stuck. Again started few days ago but this time, I'm making some progress. Idk jadu of her books or this thread haha.
Elif Shafak I never gave try to. 'The 40 rules of Love' is on my tbr list since a long time. How's it?

[Nigham]

@Hifza do must! You'd love it. Good thing about the In Death series is that its each book you can read as standalone too.

[Zarshal]

@Nigham READ IT! It’s one of my most favourite books. In fact, as far as I know you, it might be the book breaks your reader’s block.🤞

[Nigham]

@Ramla, yup right! I feel J.D started writing the books around the time I was born haha and it's still going on series.
I'd recommend Judith McNaught. Old but gold. What's the name of series you're reading these days?

[Nigham]

@Zarshal, really? Would give it a try soon then hehe.

[Zarshal]

@Nigham yesss!

[Ramla Zareen]

Thanks @Nigham I agree about Judith McNaught :-) Nora Roberts aka J.D. Robb has also written standalone Romantic Suspense books. I've enjoyed many of them. I'm reading the Sin Brothers series by Rebecca Zanetti. I wouldn't list it among my favourites, but I'm enjoying it enough to want to continue it.

By the way, have you read Hostile Pursuit by Juno Rushdan? I just thought of it because it's a quick and easy read, with enough action to keep the reader fully engaged. It might help you to end your reader's block, especially if you like Romantic Suspense. Just a suggestion :-)

[Zarshal]

Oh btw I finished LOTF xD

[Hifza]

@zarshal I'm so behind :'(
I'll start this week hopefully xD

Do share what you think about it :D

[Batool✨]

@zarshal, too soon right?
do share your thoughts :D

[Batool✨]

Hey,
Where have you all gone?

[Zarshal]

Nah pucho 🥲
