Hi Vishurti,

I went through your list, its really interesting line ups.
As you have not yet read Nicholas sparks last book Two by Two I would suggest you to read that awesome book.
As well there are other books i would suggest you to read but you have to complete this awesome book first a great love story.(I may be exaggerating as i am a avid fan of Nicholas sparks books.)
enjoy your October read.
Kindly select a book for me too and before hand i would tell i am a slow reader as i finish only 1 or 2 books a month and i am already lagging behind reading the books.

Regards,
Shrikanth Venne

Hi Devansh,
We both seem to enjoy dark disturbing thrillers :D.
The Stepford Wives and Sharp Objects are my picks for you.Cant wait to hear your thoughts.
Happy reading

Devansh Dhrafani (devanshdhrafani) | 20 comments Nair wrote: "https://www.goodreads.com/review/list..."

Hey Nair,
Thanks for the picks! I had been meaning to read them for a long time!

I see that we share a common interest in reading dark, twisted stories. Keeping that in mind, I want to pick "Verity" and "Gone Girl" for you. I know that these aren't in your list, but I am sure you would enjoy them.

In any case, here are 2 another picks if you want to stick to your to-read list: "Black Sun" and "The Project". Both seem really interesting.

I hope you have a fun time reading!

Hi Neha,

I pick Sidney Sheldon's Morning, Noon and Night for you, since I have myself been stuck with two his books with no energy to finish them. Maybe this can serve as a little nudge for you to get back to them. :) Please also keep me posted on how it goes for you.
