[Akanksha]

Still waiting for Sharadha's response :|

[Ahtims]

Shall PM her, and ypu can do so too. Otherwise we will call Manju to the rescue..

[Akanksha]

I did. She didn't reply. It's been 3/4 days.

[Akanksha]

3-4 days, that is. and not 0.75 :p

[Ahtims]

ha ha... I will try.

[Ahtims]

Akanksha, could contact Sharadha. She said she will put up your books by day after tomorrow. She is quite caught up in some work, and can't access goodreads till tomorrow night.

[Selva]

I need Manju to my rescue too. Richa hasn't responded. It has been 2 days since I PM-ed her. I just have 10 books in my list. So it shudn't be time consuming.

Selvakumar, Manju may be free to rescue you as Sharadha/Akanksha are sorted out. :P

Have picked these for you:
The day of the Jackal - I know for a fact that it is a fantastic read.
Red rising ( Red rising #1)
A face like glass

Hope you like them enough. Happy reading !

[Ahtims]

Sangeetha, we can wait for any one else who's partner hasn't responded, or ask for somebody else from the group to volunteer. Let us see what Manju suggests.

Hi Akanksha, please accept my apologies for the delay, was embroiled in some family commitments. Thanks for the great suggestions, I pick the below reads for you from your TBR:

My Name is Red - this has been on my TBR too so I'd love some reviews from you.

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

Read either or both as you wish - let me know if you are looking for a change! :-)

Hi sangeetha,

My to read list.

Of your list I would highly recommend either the book thief or the hitchikers guide.
The book thief is guaranteed to make you cry or the hitchikers guide that would leave you in splits of laughter.

No worries. I will try to finish this book before 15th august. I think that's the deadline of this challenge. Thanks for choosing this. It has been long since I read YA fantasy book.

[Jarvis]

I did ask about completion of the book but never posted about it. -_-

I finished The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society picked for me by Jaya. Haven't reviewed it. Will post a link in case I do :)

Brilliant!! I was going to pick a Neil Gaiman book for my next read. Thanks for picking American Gods.
I'll start next weekend (Aug 15 long weekend) as I am currently reading and almost done with The Damned Utd.

[Anu]

@Janhavi, football fan, I see!

[Varun]

Because Nobody picked one for me, I picking one for myself.

Varun,

I want you to read The Complete Stories, Vol 1 by Isaac Asimov for your August read that you've postponing for two months now.

That's the spirit!!!

[Aditi]

Hey Varun, sorry for delayed response. Life was being a bi%^&. I haven't logged in to GR for ages it seems. But here I am now.. and You picked one for yourself! Pick me one then, please!! :)

[Varun]

Hi Aditi,

First of all, don't worry about it! This is a mere frivolity at best. Also, in my experience dogs are too nice to be compared to bad situations or people :)

As for this month's read, I did choose one for you, Kafka on The Shore by Haruki Murakami. But in case you don't feel like picking up a Murakami at this point, you can go with The Perks of Being a Wallflower for a lighter read.

[Lenny]

Done with Hasan's pick for me -
Thoroughly enjoyed it. That was a good pick :)
