Manju, Syl: I want to participate for the next round of PIFM. Is it possible to do so now, or should I wait till July end, when the partners are reshuffled?Sorry if you've replied to something similar lately, must have missed. :-/

Thank you, Manju :))
Okay thanks, Manju! Hey Jaya! :)
Here's my shelf: Next-to-read shelf
My recommendations for you:
1. The Shining- If you like horror-suspense, this is a wonderful read.
2.The Shadow of the Wind- This one is on my tbr, so not sure. But some of my very close friends on GR have highly recommended it.
3. The Well of Ascension- Looking into your tbr, it seems like you have a thing for fantasy, and in that, Sanderson seldom disappoints. Plus, Mistborn is a common favorite.
I hope you like the choices. 2 of them I didn't read, but have usually heard positive things about them. :)
Happy Reading!

Thanks for the selections, Jaya. I was secretly hoping you select Tranquility. *romanceaholic mode*

Thank you thank you. I wish you'd picked just one for me, so that i wont be confused what to read next ;D
I sort of did an inky pinky ponky thing and The Shining got chosen :P so il start with that one :)
And i hope you might like Sea of ... though its not really a proper romance
Jaya: Do tell me how you liked The Shining. And read it at night for the perfect feel. :PWill read both Ackroyd and Tranquility. High hopes with both.

Vaibhav, your profile is set on private. Please set it to public. Once you do that you can check Suyash's( msg 261) tbr and choose books for him and he'll do the same for you.
@Akansha that was a short book.i got 464 pages book though loving it.too bad you got a short one not worth one month time.

It'll be fine as Suyash is not responsive right now and I also found some other books to read at priority basis which I don't find in his TBR list. Also, a girl here threatens me to break my nose off by throwing a coconut at me if I won't start reading with her soon. (A doctor with hostile behaviour. :P) I also have a draft of a friend to read. So, if its possible I would like to withdraw my name and plea to buddy up Suyash with someone else.

My to-read list
https://www.goodreads.com/review/list..."
I am pairing you with Suyash Gupta. His tbr is tbr
Hey Hemant,I went through you to- read list, and these are the books I have picked for you :-
1. The thousand splendid suns- It's a heart- wrenching tale of two women whose life cross by fate and is about, how they overcome the dangers escalating around them. I have read it twice. There is nothing contrived or trite about this book; absolute piece of brilliance. An essential read!
2. The palace of illusion- It's a retelling of the Mahabharata from Draupadi's perspective. It's a very captivating tale, which is both ecstatic and pensive at times, and was able to hold my interest till the very end. The writing is so poetic and beguiling that you wouldn't be able to stop yourself until you finish the book.
You can read either of them or both, if you like.
I look forward to your pickings.

I will put a new thread for August sign ups tomorrow. You can sign up then.:)
Finished reading Naked Face as part of the challenge. Amazing thriller.
Finished Midnight's Children which was the pick for me. I did not like it. Just dragged myself kicking through the pages. Well, at least it is done.:)
FINALLY done with Fahrenheit 451! *phew*I hated it, saw no point in reading it and almost scanned through the last few pages because I was too close to finishing it to put it down as DNF (did not finish). Honestly, how did this even get a classic status? Not more than a glum 2 stars from me (glad to have it off my TBR)!

I finished mine. The Alchemist. okayish. 3 stars.
I would like to be added to the list for August!
I finished The Man who knew Infinity (one of the two picked up for me). Amazing book, extremely informative and wonderfully written.
Finished A Thousand Splendid Suns picked up for me by Akshaya. Thanks Akshaya for picking two brilliant books for me. Thoroughly enjoyed reading those two.
