If there are suggestions for buddy read, plz give. That way, probably I read smth, and it'll be fun.
I cant think of any good urdu novel, which is new... or even old but not read.

Whenever I open goodreads I instantly think about this challenge but not getting time to read any book from this challenge :(

[MomināReads]

Whatever recommendation is coming to my mind I have already recommended it to you ;)
If you are in mood to read heavy literary novels then I would suggest Fire Area / فائر ایریا It's a really heart wrenching touching Novel about Coalfield Labourers

Or If you wanna read something lighter You Can try Sapnon Ki Wadi / سپنوں کی وادی
But do not expect a lot from it. Expect less Enjoy more

Or If you are In mood for contemporary romance Novel You can try Gul e Kohsar I don't remember the story fully but I have given it a 4 🌟 and I generally Enjoy Farah Bukhari Writings. I also enjoyed her Fasl e Gul Hai and Wafa Shart E Ulfat Hai

Happy reading :)

I also thought of UA or FI but then whatever play comes to my mind I have already read the book version of it

HS YKS DD MJHT MHMD BR by FI

And

ZGH ALIF HKKST SZ MZZBN MSKS by UA may be I'll read Mann o Salwa though I know it's gonna destroy me

Umm, today only I started the novel which you had recommended me before 'ban pakhi' it's farah bukhari only I guess. So yes I'll complete that first and then will move to others.
