Luffy Sempai (luffy79) Ankit's profile is up till now private.

Makrand's tbr pile lists just 4 books.

Austin George | 4071 comments It's good to keep the TBR list under control. Lol


message 24: by Leena (new)

Leena Aluru (mgleena) | 7181 comments I was gently reprimanded for my ever flowing and large tbr, so I just make a new shelf well contained within 100 :》
These must be what Makarand wants to urgently read, - wow that so organised - I'm.jelaous


message 25: by Luffy Sempai (last edited Feb 04, 2022 09:39PM) (new)

Luffy Sempai (luffy79) I just think that to present so few books defeats the purpose of the game. There must be an illusion of choice at least, for PIFM to be fun. Oh well, live and learn I guess.


message 26: by Leena (new)

Leena Aluru (mgleena) | 7181 comments I completely agree with you. but to each their own,I suppose.


message 27: by Makrand (new)

Makrand | 75 comments @Luffy, this is the first time I'm doing this.
And I desperately want to read those books.
P. S. I am not at all organized :p @Leena Aluru

My first time as well. I have no beef against your motivations. I just hope that everything works out fine.

Hello Aman,
you have some intriguing non-fictions titles there on your tbr, added a few to my shelf.
I pick these:
1. A Brief History of Time
2. The Book Thief
and if you are in for 3rd book
3. Dark Matter (read some really good reviews of it)
Read one or read all.

Happy reading! =)

Hi Selva! I pick The Mysterious Affair at Styles for you. It is just a little bit longer than a novella. Hope you enjoy the read!

Hello Rishab!

You have a humongous tbr with loads of non-fiction, that's so great! Going to add some of these to mine.

I'm actually having trouble choosing, in a good way.
So, picking 2 books, you can read either or both.
For fiction - Dead Poets Society or My Brilliant Friend
For non-fiction - Man's Search for Meaning

Happy Reading! :)

Hi Kavya,
I am picking 2 books for you. You can read either or both.

It was a page-turner for me. Hope you also enjoy it.

This book is in my to-read list for a long time. Heard some good reviews.

Happy Reading!! :)
