lord of the flies, Buddy Read! :) [[Oct. 2022. ]]
Read 42%, not going with task but will finish in few days..and guys, I chose this book because of good rating and reviews. A short book with 15 remaining days was good option.
But I think its very much like YA books, no big turns and twists but looking at characters through one person is interesting.

and guys, I chose this book because of good rating and reviews. A short book with 15 remaining days was good option.

I agree characters are well built!!
I finally completed last month's book and It was so much better than Gone Girl. X)
Mod
Well gone girl was amazing book that plays with the mind of the reader and Messes it and makes you hate the character or you start thinking about punishing Amy. I think it was one of a kind book but same I did not like the ending it has.
@Aakash- Yup! XD @Ozair- MATH = Mental Abuse To Humans :D
@Ayesha and Aakash- I too am not satisfied with the ending, and I was like, seriously!!!??? How that baychara husband is gonna spend the rest of his life with her... O.o
@NighamHahaha,we already figured that out in school though :p.
Mod
Guys a book is chosen by a member which means that book is not a recommendation but an unread book for all of us. Here we have people from differnt age-groups so taste differs even when we try best to chose an optimum book for buddy read sometimes it does not go right on track.
But its okay. It happens. :)
@Nigham it's your turn for the next read. Good luck for choosing a book. :p
"When people don't express themselves, they die one piece at a time."
Well... short, funny and "real" kind of book. It was both... fun and serious at the same time. The ending is not what I expected... still I loved it! <3 <3 <3
"... it was under attack by a Wesley Scroggins from Missouri State University, back in 2010, for being filth and..."
SAD!
And Ozair- you won't regret reading this book.
Maybe I’ll be an artist if I grow up.
@Aakash- Thank you for reminding me. :p XD
Mod
Choose an interesting one.I'm in.
Bilal wrote: "Me too but whos gonna chose"Meee... ma... yo... më... أنا... mi... XD
Lol, I thought, I'm the only one whose gonna participate in Aug read.

Ive been here from like last two months and this thread is like my first so inshallah till the time im active on goodreads ill be here in this thread.P.S
Chose something thrilling and funny.u guys always choose romance.
Salman wrote: "So, which books you guys started."Yeah why did ur lofe get busy i miss u too.
Even though i dont know who u r
Wait.. You aren't going to choose a romantic book right? Please don't xD
Mod
@Mariyam ,This month its Nigham's turn to choose the buddy read.
@Zarshall its YA not romance :P
Well choosing a book for the read is hard work... it's not like recommending a book to read. And Yes here almost we read around YA. because here we have people with versatile age groups that's why choosing a genre is hard as well. and yes thrilling is a good choice like we Read the girl on the Train.
Mod
whether;
A) we should read a book chosen by A permanent Member of this Thread(Should have taken part and read at least two books with us) by turns(like now we are following it)
B)With the onset of the buddy read, everyone(Of course a member) propose a book to be read and then we will do voting and book with max votes will be our buddy read. to
In A everyone gets a chance to nominate a book 100% and in 2nd its voting so majority is the authority. Both have good points and bad as well...
What do you people suggest??
The permenant member (as you proposed in the first point) should suggest some 3-4 books and others can vote (as suggested in the 2nd point). The book with the highest number of votes would win.
@Aakash- Lol, that I can see... :'D @Salman-
:p@Bilal- Salman is one of the five "originals", he is a permanent member of this thread. And a request... Please use capital "A" when writing Allah. :)
@Zarshal- Haha, like Aakash said, choosing a book is not that easy. :p It's YA and romance both, wait... wait, give it a try, okay? I think you'll love it. Read the reviews if you have got time. :)
Mod
Yes anyone who has read at least two reads with us will be eligible for nominating a book. (because It happens that ppl come and read their chosen book and then they vanish forever.. i think that will be unfair with us.)
@Nigham so its Everything Everything ??
@Nigham okay I guess I'll give it a try :')
Mod
This is an amazing book...Very faced so think most of you will read it in matter of hours.
Assalmaulikum guys, what's up?Its been sometime since i participated.
what are you reading this month?
Yup Aakash- Everything Everything. And well... August 11th, 2016 is okay with you people? Salman you are going to participate? Well that makes us 6 I think.
@Zarish- Welcome back. :)
And point A, I'm good with it. New members are more than welcome, like Amna says we are friendly people. :)
@Abdullah- You are going to join us? :)
Nigham wrote: "@Abdullah- You are going to join us? :)"Yes
Mod
so this book is like 60 or so pages. is there going to be a division or everyone can keep their own speed.
@Zarish- 60 nahi 236 pages. :p
