I agree, Cursed Child was so bad, I stopped reading Harry Potter for a while. But then I forgot about it, so I read the entire series about 5 more times :)
Okay, this happened for two days in a row now. I plugged in my phone to charger before going to sleep but forgot to turn on the switch. I am an idiot.

It was fine, just the routine stuff. There are a new bunch of students in my class this year (I had almost the same set of classmates for last 10 years) and tbh I am not liking them very much.

I tried watching Doctor Who today, I have mixed feelings for the show.
I finished rereading Sorcerer's Stone today and will be moving to Chamber of Secrets now.Also I shaved my mustache for the first time ever yesterday and it really feels so wierd now. (・_・;)

Could not get much reading done and I don't think I will be able to do it for a few months now. Actually the dates for KVPY(the full for of which translates from Hindi to Young Scientists Appreciation Program) has been announced. This is very important to me and I have been studying hard for months for this but will still have to amp up my efforts in these last 3-4 months.
Also please recommend me some books in case I have a nervous breakdown, and I need to get my mind off things.
These are all pretty popular but I would say...The Hunger Games, Divergent, Maze Runner, The Lunar Chronicles. They're all really good! The second and third books of both The Hunger Games and Divergent aren't super great, but the first books are amazing!!
Thanks Ashi, I have already read Maze Runner and Hunger games but I will surely try to read the other two series.
So we had a house party last night. Being a host can be exhausting task. Also being socially awkward, parties tend to get boring for me too soon.
Also I was trying to start a convo with my crush on Instagram this week, but all I ever get as a reply are single word answers like cool, hmm, good, haha🙁
I ordered The Martian and Dune 2 weeks back from amazon and they are still not here. Also the prices of most paperbacks in online stores has been doubled or even tripled since the lockdown.This is really pissing me off. I can read the kindle versions but reading paperbacks has a very different feeling, and I prefer paperbacks.
2 weeks ago? That's stupid. Also, jeez, that's a lot for a paperback. I'm trying to calculate how much that is but since you're obviously not using American money that's not working well 😂. That's still a lot for a paperback (presumably). I've been wanting to read Dune, so can't wait what you think. I definitely agree about reading on kindle. It's not the same

That's ..."Well I would have got most paper backs here for Rs. 500-600 maybe even less. That would translate to around 7-8 dollars but now they are selling the same books for 1500-2500 rupees that will be 20-35 dollar per book. I use my pocket money to buy them and there are not many local stores around😫

The one which has english books is faaaaar away from my home and the other bookstores provide only hindi and marathi books.
You did not order books in the sale? Prices were pretty low........Also have you heard of Bookish Santa?
I brought 5 books (3 novels and 2 academic) from the current The Great Indian Amazon Sale. I don't know about Bookish Santa.
Bookish Santa is an Indian book website .....they are new and their prices are comparatively low from Amazon and Flipkart. They sell used books too and the service is great (they give a beautiful bookmark and a note on every book)
I have ended up ordering more from them than other sites

Srujan wrote: "I brought 5 books (3 novels and 2 academic) from the current The Great Indian Amazon Sale. I don't know about Bookish Santa."Btw which books did u get???
I had ordered, The Elite, The One , Night Circus, Class 10th ICSE Chemistry Question bank😂 and Writing with ease by Usha pandit.
I had also ordered Looking for Alaska but the ordered got cancelled because the didn't have it(I was so angry because it was the first time I had ordered a hardcover book!!)
I am going to start reading it on7th November after my exams end. I am very excited to read it.

Well that might be good, you won't wanna waste on a hardcover of that book. It's on the dnf list of a lot of members of this group including mine. Others I haven't read but they sound interesting.
Also Suditi thanks for suggesting that website, I ended up ordering five books today.
Ikr!! I am glad you liked it. You can also join their telegram group. They offer many coupon codes and deals. The members of the group also keep selling their old books so you might occasionally find something great.
Recently I was discussing Harry Potter with my friends, I got nostalgic and have thus started rereading the books. Peace out!
