1) Salt to the Sea by Ruta Sepetys
Salt to the Sea by Ruta Sepetys
2) The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer
The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer, Annie Barrows

Hi Sindhu,
Thanks for my pick. Here's my pick from your list

1. To Kill a Mockingbird - It's one of the classics. I have read it and I would definitely recommend you to read this.
To Kill a Mockingbird
2. Twelve Angry Men - I have not read this book but I have seen this movie and it was just amazing. Going by the reviews and because I would also like to read it, I am suggesting this. Twelve Angry Men

Happy reading!

Shubham Gupta | 10 comments Rishabh wrote: "In
https://www.goodreads.com/review/list..."


Hi..Here is my pick for you :
1. The little prince : I have not read this book but there was once this literature professor I know whose favouroite book was this one. He used to quote excerpts from this book to teach about evolution of human senses and desires and everything one wants to unravel about growing up. So I suggest this one for you.

2. To kill a mocking bird : I have read this and I would suggest you to read this if you want to have a ride through Maycomb county's beautiful scenery and want to see the hypocrisy of adults vis a vis the innocence of a child.

Hello there,

My selection for you is Norse Mythology.
I read the book a month ago and absolutely loved it. It just showcases why Neil Gaiman is known to be such an exemplary author when it comes to this genre. If you're a fan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, you'll connect with it almost instantly, I know I did. Hope you have a good time reading it.

Hey Vishruti, I see that you too have The Godfather on your shelf, want to BR it? ;-) If you're ok with it then, I'll pick that for you. My other nominee is The Other Side of Midnight by Sidney Sheldon. It's one of my all time favourites and have read it a million times :)

Enjoy!

You couldn't have done a better job, Akul! I am a fanatic when it comes to Gaiman.
I choose A Man Called Ove for you.
Happy reading!

You didn't like the blurb of the book picked for you? If it interests you give it a try or I can pick a book for you. Whatever you decide.:)
