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.

Have you read Freida McFadden? Her prose isn’t great and if you’re a language purist you might hate her writing but her books are quick reads.

I recently read Kill for me, kill for you by Steve Cavanaugh- one of the best thrillers I’ve read in a while.

ahh ok I haven’t read any of these authors in a while but I used to - like crazy. I just recommended a bunch of thrillers to someone, let me see if I can find that post.

I haven’t read Freida McFadden.

I don’t know if I am a language purist or not, so I will probably try her one book and see if it interests me.

@bold- thank you for the recommendation.

I will certainly try after I am done with my current read.

Do you guys know good homeland authors? I'm trying to expand my repertoire but can't don't know where to find good recs.

while tallying add 496 pages for Sendai Has Trees

hey LizzynDarcy, for the books you have mentioned as fanfiction, as discussed, I hope you'll send me the links for verification. But since Lizzie has asked for the page count, I trust your count is accurate and am taking it for tally.

I have taken the page tally for the following books only:

Unleash the Heat By Joythea - The Untamed Fanfiction on AO3 (word count 34,402, 115 pages) - 5/4/25 -- 115 pages

The Woe Tale of Black and Blue By Abby18699 - The Untamed Fanfiction on AO3 (word count 28,160, 94 pages) - 15/4/25 - 94 pages

The Oracle of Gusu By LadyVamp - The Untamed Fanfiction on AO3 (word count 71,191, 237 pages) - 15/4/25 -- 237 pages

Selected Essays By John Begrer - current reading (upto pages 14/866, essay 1) 3/4/25 -- 14 pages.

( If you need any corrections/ additions, please do let me know )

It would be very helpful if you can keep the currently reading and finished reading books separate.

Ji yeh toh bohot kamaal hogaya. I’ll update the page count

Thanks for the update!

Yeah works with me. I can send you the pdf for the sake of cross-verifying if you need. I don't mind.

Just a question, will you not take on-going/current readings of the other books other than John Berger's ways of seeing?

I would but I’m not able to figure out how many pages you have read, that’s why I did not take it into consideration. If you can mention how many pages you have read, I’ll be sure to include it in the page tally
