Aunt Dmity is a cozy mystery with a little bit of mystery, a little bit of romance and a good story. Remember loving the first one. This one looks entirely different with no reference to the first one. Loving it too at 15%.
Finished The Namesake. I finished it in bits and pieces due to many distractions in between. But in the end wished I had read it in one straight sitting coz I could fully savour it then. Anyway a 4 star read.Watership Down at 12 %. Loving Hazel and his friends.
The Illicit Happiness of Other People At page 84. Fantastic read. going to be a 4-5 starrer. Usually dont like stories about dysfunctional families but this one is awesome..
ഇനി ഞാൻ ഉറങ്ങട്ടെ Ini Njan Urangatte As part of my ambition to read a malayalam book along with the others..Just started. Looks promising.
Mod
Adding Watership Down to make it a full circle.
Mod
And based on my limited malayalam - sounds a good title for a psychological thriller ☺
Ini njaan urangatte means Now let me sleep. Sorry to dissappoint you Girish but it is Karnas take on the Mahabharatha.
Gorab Watership down is good.. Not the thrilling sort of good but the Heartwarming sort of good.
Mod
I bought Namesake because Irfan Khan was on cover page .yet to read .Loved watership down . now let me sleep is such a lovely title for a book .
Finished The Illicit Happiness of Other People. 4 Stars. My What a book!!!! This is one book where the protagonist after his death remains alive in our minds..Now reading A Case of Need. medical thriller and a fast page turner.
Will resume Watership Down next week. Loving those rabbits. At 20% now.
Finished A Case of Need. 4 stars. Kept me on the edge of my seat for a few days but the end was somewhat mehhhh.Finished The Room on the Roof Was perfect for my mood . Comforted and soothed me though to be frank all was not happiness in the book. It had its share of grief...Full 5 stars.
FinishedThe Importance of Being Earnest 3 Stars. Was a comedy of errors but was not taken in by any of the characters.
Now reading
The Gene: An Intimate History BR with Gorab and Smi. Going very slow.
Time Stops at Shamli and Other Stories BR with Gorab, Arpit and Sundara. 2 stories in and loving it.
Fiercombe Manor One of my favourite genres Historical Fiction . At some 45 %. Very intriguing read.

Manor - added to TBR after seeing your update.
Mod
And other common favorites - Illicit :)
Based on the common taste, watership looks tempting. Shall join when possible.
