You should have mentioned it, I would have picked one for you. Next time this happens, leave a message for me here. I pair up if someone's partner does not turn up with someone whose partner did not turn up or I pick a book for them.

Hi Nathan,
Quite sad that the last time your partner didn't pick for you.
Not happening this time. As a compensation I'm gonna pick two books for you.
Hehe kidding.
Ok I will but you can read either of the two or both.

1. Confessions
This is a very dark story of Revenge and trust me, you wouldn't wanna miss this thriller. Jap authors are awesome

2. Ender's Game
Science fiction at it's best. I am sure you won't see the twist coming.

Hope you enjoy both. Since I've read both the books I'd be open for discussion too :)

Happy Reading

Hello Shrikant,
I forgot to update my list, I've read two by two by Nicholas Sparks, will read Safe Heaven. You seem to like Nicholas Sparks books a lot. I always get his recommendations when we are paired.

I would recommend Two towers by J R R Tolkien or Fire and Blood by George R R Martin.

Happy Reading, Merry Christmas, and a very Happy New year. !!
