I have read only Mafia and historical romances this past month. My goodreads total has gone to 28 😕which is way past my whole years target (25).This is what happens to me in lockdown. I end up reading more books than I anticipated. I read some books from Bridgertons series. I loved "The gentleman's offer. Also the monster in his eyes series by JM Darower was really good. Read some novellas too. Oh! And I finally read Corrupt by Penelope douglas. I didn't like it and I am not going to continue with the series. I wonder why people are so into the series. I found it amassed with pointless taboos and useless sex scenes.

And yes to the marathon, whenever you all agree. I am so down with it. I don't have much going on anyways.

Since you seem to be very much into historical fiction...have you read anything by kristin hannah?

I am afraid not. But I will surely check her books. 😊

Have any of you started reading Sputnik Sweetheart?

I'm 50 pages in and so far, I haven't been feeling very motivated to read this book. I read somewhere that this book has a dreamlike quality to it, and I thought I'd like it because Rebecca was like that and I loved it, but try as I might, I'm not being able to connect with the characters, or care about what happens to them. There are more similes and metaphors than there is actual story here, and I feel like I'm not patient enough to go through it.

I can see why some people would love it and others might not. I don't personally love or hate it, but I feel indifferent to the story and its characters.

What are your thoughts so far, if any of you have started reading?

I did start it without realising its about homosexuality. Didnt feel comfortable reading it during Ramadan so I will try it after Eid

No offence to anyone though

I haven't started it yet. I will give it a go in few days and let you all know what I think. 🤓

A while ago, somebody was asking about an alternate audiobook site besides vk. I have found one. Audiboi. It's better than vk as it gives the option to change speed and it has an amazing collection as well. I have found books that I wasn't able to find on vk. 👍🏼

I visited the site but couldn't do much due to poor internet connection. I can't find a search button though. And do you have to sign in?

There is a Search button at the top right corner. And no need for sign up. There is also download option available but that's only for premium users.
