I wrote the previous post on the Mahabharatha books I read and now I thought will just put up all the books/Authors that I’ve read recently or are on my bedside table right now.
Marian Keyes – The Charming Man – My friend F picked this one up at the airport on the way to Hyderabad and said its a good read. So have just begun this and am already feeling its going slow.
The Promise by Danielle Steele-Remember the hindi movie ‘Yeh Waada Raha’? This is the story. Within a few pages I realised it was this story but still couldnt put it down. I need to admit I like Danielle Steele.
Truly Madly Manhattan by Nora Roberts – 2 novels M&B style-light and romantic read. I love reading such books before going to bed – gives me happy dreams 😉
The Angel in the Dark – Tilly Bagshawe (Sidney Sheldon)-Starts off well but the suspense doesnt remain for long. About 40-50 pages into the book and you get to know the story. I picked this one up only because the story line was Sidney Sheldon’s
David Baldacci – husband is hooked to David Baldacci and everytime I run out of my books I pick one of these. Thrilling read and complete time pass.
The Secret Wishlist by Preeti Shenoy – I ordered this on Flipkart along with Ashok Banker’s Seeds of War. Ok-Ok read. Predictable storyline and very much on the surface of things. Doesnt actually go deep into any character and kind of seems frivolous.
Midnight’s children by Salman Rushdie – Borrowed it from Deepsi but she said that she couldnt read beyond a few pages and somehow I havent begun it either. Want to read atleast one of Salman Rushdie to see what the hoopla is all about – any inputs?
The Sea of Poppies by Amitav Ghosh – Been wanting to read this for a long time and finally picked it up at blossoms a couple of weekends ago. Anyone read this?
The Time Traveller’s wife – Have been reading good reviews on this on the blogsphere (I think Bride put this up) and so I picked this up though Im yet to begin.
Books on the wishlist:
Ramesh Menon’s Ramayana
Ashok Banker’s Krishna Coriolis series
Couple of Nora Roberts latest both as Nora Roberts and as JD Robb ( I LOVE her Indeath mystery series) Unfortunately didnt get them in Blossoms and am planning to buy them on Flipkart.
What are you all reading?
danielle steel :O wil make you cry in the end, but it will be worth reading, tilly couldn’t keep the suspense as Sydney did,
Bookmarking this post. I have to visit Blossoms once, I have been in Bangalore for more than 2 years and never been able to go there. Will drag the not-interested–in-reading driver once I’m done with the blog marathon.
Salman Rushdie is my favourite author, if I had to pick one, and Midnight’s Children probably my all-time favourite novel. Never considered that anyone could not like it. Ha! But maybe Moor’s Last Sigh is easier to read.
Yet to start salman rushdie. Will see how it goes and post it 🙂
David Baldacci is fast turning into my favourite…. his protagonist John Puller has a series by himself. Very interesting.
Time traveler’s wife is an awesome read… I also haven’t yet read Salman Rushdie and vying of this book. so do tell me when you finish reading it.
Which Nora roberts/JD Robb are you missing? mail me 🙂
I am reading Emma Donahuge’s Astray, a collection of short stories. Have actually read v. little of it so far to recommend but it has received good reviews.
U know wat I m reading girl!! I cant thank you enough for introducing me to the Series!! Wow one post idea is just born.,, 🙂
