Similar titles

But the MMC is a a firefighter in this one hence the confusion

The plot will probably be similar .

There are other volumes of The Pumpkin Spice Café in the so-called Dream Harbour series. But I don't think I'll read them

I’m so glad to hear that!

Hey one question. I am writing a Fan Fic on the Rishta forum which has completed about 13 chapters and 8000 words as of now - will that count as I am currently updating about 2 chapters of it every week?

For the people who are reading it ? Sure

But I don’t think it’ll count for you since you are the author. Author’s own works cannot be considered right ? That’ll be like proof reading or editing.

Okay. So as an author, I cannot consider my own FF in my reading logs right?

Wow you read The Count of Monte Cristo?? Give yourself a pat on the back for that one!

It wasn’t much of a difficult read, apart from the fact that initially I found it a bit slow read and boring.

But after the main character plans for revenge it is an interesting read.

I do need some book recommendations now though, as I don’t have much TBRs left after I am done reading The Silk Roads.

What kind of books do you usually read and enjoy? Might be able to rec based on that

I have read this years ago but now I find reading classics difficult- the prose gets way too complicated and tends to lose my attention. Hence why full props to you for sticking with this and finishing it cos I can’t bring myself to.

I usually like mystery/thriller genre.

Romance is not my cup of tea except few classics like Pride and Prejudice etc..

I have read most of Shakespeare novels, Sidney Sheldon, Dan Brown and Robin Cook.
