Hi Vikas, your TBR is a jumble of books across all genres but as luck would have it, you do have books that I believe are absolutely phenomenal. So I'm going to choose three books from the pile. You can read one or all and you won't go wrong with any. And trust me, you'll want to read all.

So here it goes.

Suggestion 1:

Suggestion 2:

Suggestion 3:

Hi Ganesh.. we are paired again!
I pick Perfume: The Story of a Murderer for you. I am really intrigued with this one. Do share your review.

Also, The Midnight Library, I guess this book is a hit/miss with people. It was so-so for me.. curious to know what you think of it.

[Nathan]

@Sehrish: Perfume was epic for me.
I can proudly say that my olfactory senses were temporarily upgraded after reading it.

My mom thought I had finally gone mad! 😂😂😂😂

[Leena]

Its on my tbr too. Id recommended it in another group,but sadly it lost out to Flicker in the Dark.

Omg! 😂
I have yet to read it. Maybe I'll pick it up sometime this year.

I read 3 reviews of friends who rated Flicker in the Dark 3 stars each. From what I gather, it is a book with a lot of hype and with no translation of that hype in a good reading experience.

Hey Leena,

Thanks for picking the awesome titles for me.

Your shelf was really long, so I had a tough time shortlisting. Not complaining! ;)

The next month also has the International Women's Day, therefore I am picking at least one book around that theme. You can read all or any of the following three books:

- The Vanishing Half
- The Housekeeper and the Professor
- The Marriage Game

Happy reading.

[Leena]

thanks Anubha , I'm looking forward to all 3.

Thank you, Aishwarya for the three picks. Somehow was procrastinating on reading the three. Needed this motivation to finish the books.

My picks for you are below:

1. : A book I'm very eager to start soon.

2. : I couldn't really put it down once I started it. One of my al time favourites. There's also a TV Adaptation starring James Franco (which does the book some justice).

Bonus Pick:
3. One of the most fascinating reads.

I loved your To-Read List. Have bookmarked the same, several books are going straight to my list.

Happy Reading.

[Aishwarya]

Thankyou Aman.
Always wanted to read that book by Richard Feynman, It has piqued my interest when I was going through the Feynman lectures.
James Franco! :D okay, will try out the series as well (after reading the book of course - just saw the trailer, seems good).

Will try to read all 3 =)

Hahahaha! Now I have to read it

[Abish]

For Perfume: depends, it was entertaining till 75% after that things are dark and also (view spoiler)[abstract idea in the ending is enigmatic as I think that it can be interpreted in 10 different ways (hide spoiler)]

[Leena]

OK. its part of my crime BOTM. next month

[Leena]

Ankit, Madhushala is just sublime. I hope you enjoy it.
