Hey Ritika,
You have a pretty good list out there, ..."

Thank you Caroline! I think I'm gonna go with A Man Called Ove first and then see if I can make time for the other one. Oh, I'm so excited! :D

Hi Leena,
Here are my picks. Hope you like them
The Palace of Illusions
Jasmine Days
Savor the Moment

Happy Reading!
- Selva
P.S. Pls do create a separate shelf for PIFM with books that you would immediately want to read. Going through your entire to-read shelf is kind of tiresome. You got over 600 books.

Thanks Sehrish for picking the book for me. I picked this book earlier too but couldn't go past initial chapters. A buddy read will definitely help. We can decide on BR on 1st Jan depending upon our reading schedule at that time.

Rachit, you can pair up with someone whose partner hasn't turned up. Mods will help.

[Arpit]

Hey guys, I also want to participate in it :)

[Leena]

thanks Selva, for the recommendations.
I shall make a separate PIFM link from now on

[Leena]

@ Joonie, if mod is ok, im willing to go through your list and make the suggestions.

[Em Lost In Books, EmLo is my Name, PIFM is my Game]

@Rachit and @Joonie - if someone's partner doesn't turn up by 25, i will pair up you with them. Else you can pick book for each other.

Is this still open? Can I still participate?

Hi Guttu, since you seem to read quite, I am recommending you a couple of books.

1. The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides should be breezy read. A classic thriller.
2. You can also read All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr, and do let me know how you like it. :)

[Guttu]

It's just that this year I have read so much. Thabks for the recc. I will start both in Jan.

[Shashank]

In that case, I hope you don't read as many books in 2021. I really want 2021 to be different.

Hello Dilsha,

Sorry, I am a little late in choosing a book for you to read. I would like to pick 'The Guest List' or the 'Midnight Library for you to read this month.

[Dilshana]

Hello Nisha,
I would like to recommend “A life on our planet” by David Attenborough.
