2 stars


Finished Catch-22 by Joseph Heller. I did not imagine a book about war and insanity could be so entertaining. Easily the funniest book I have read. It has become one of my favorites, so check out my review if you have the time. 5/5
My Review https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

1. The Tell-Tale Heart by Edgar A Poe/Completed.
2. City of the Dead by Brian Keene
(Zombie apocalypse stuff)/Another 100 pages
3. The Doll Factory by Elizabeth Macneal/Another 250 pages
4. Jar city [part of arm+decade challenge]/Started.



Finished The Devotion of Suspect X by Keigo Higashino. Great crime fiction with a killer ending. 4/5
My Review https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

I had finished It Ends With Us and It Starts With Us few weeks back. Those were quick to read but I found them somewhat predictable.
I also read another book, a biography. I usually avoid non fiction but this book was about my school teacher, so I gave it a go! It was nice to read and know more about her. It's called THE LADY WITH THE MAGIC LAMP: The Real Life Story of a National Awardee


fingers crossed.

I just completed reading No One Writes Back. I found it beautiful.
Please check out the blurb, see if you fancy it.
I personally think it's underrated and would highly recommend it!
I discontinued for the near future for lack of discussion/activity on it. Planning to replace them with monthly challenge. *keeping fingers crossed*

I am on chapter 10 and so far I like the pace and writing style. Anyone here has finished or is working through her books? I have only finished the Potter and GOT series so far. It is difficult to keep me in the same world for long....
I am also concurrently reading Anne of Green Gables and Series of Unfortunate Events series for a change.
Happy Reading!!

I read AA a year ago and gave it 5 stars. I didn't like the sequel, Royal assassin. But most people like what doesn't work for me so you'll be fine in the hands of Robin Hobb.

And wow, it turned out to be a time travell love story. Cute Also finished with Sugarloaf Bakery Valentine. another for a challenge. Not bad
im currently reading Shari Lapena's The End of Her. it's a fast-paced thriller and really enjoying it.

I'm there with another account. Dark Matter tallies, but the other title is The Devil and the Dark Water. It's certainly you then! :) Was wondering, so wish you the best in leading the discussion.


You most definitely will Luffy! Oh how very exciting!! Wishing you only the very best!!!

This is one of my favorite fantasy world. Something which holds a great reread value. Protagonist in the first trilogy (well, he is the one in two more trilogies) really tests you patience but as the time went by, he really won me over. Or should I say Hobb won me over. I am a huge fan of her Realm of the Elderling world and I recommend this to everyone who seems to be interested in Fantasy. Even if you feel little frustrated at times in the first trilogy (that is my opinion as my friends loved it/him), just don't give up. It is a really rewarding world. :)

Thanks, Savita! It's so kind of you!

🌟🌟🌟.5 wow, what an anticlimatic unexplained, convenient end. Im getting generous with my stars.🤔
I had thought I was doing so well on my other challenge to see im 2 books off. So, here's me scrambling to finish them off and more 😁


The Wedding Party - Purple cover as a tribute to Mardi Gras celebration.


Is that where Irish Coffee comes from?? I never knew it was a racist slang

I too didn't know. I would have Googled it. But I'm waiting for the new Bing search engine to do so. You are funny.
