I'm used to blabbering and how could I not for you 😳Ahh YES, I should've guessed that you may not like reading in first person narration since you write in third person. I tell you what, it's harder to write in third person...AND you have nailed it sooo. You are damn perfect & talented with your writing skills Mashallah 👏Coming back to John Green... Agree his books are in first person narration but, he provides us with a really compelling first person narration where a unique character is giving you their take on something that is happening, and yet it's clear to the reader that it's not the whole story. You're getting a biased look at the world, which is central to the appeal of the first person narrative. It's just his writing style, quite unique!OK, I'm going to recommend you with some of the books that I loved...Firstly, please start of with the Fault in our stars...Just give it a try.Truly, this is a remarkable book and words cannot express how I feel towards it.
- The Fault in Our Stars was a beautiful novel. The characters are beautifully drawn and heartbreakingly realistic. Ultimately Green strives to portray his characters not as those fighting cancer are often shown, forced into playing the role of brave and wise soldiers stoically enduring untold suffering. He shows them as they truly are, just people, beautiful wonderful people but people none the less. They have no choice but to keep fighting because they are given no other option and because to admit defeat means death. It is not their struggle that defines them but who they are in spite of it, managing to live and to love and even have fun and laugh. They use every moment given to them in he most beautiful way possible and that is what makes them exceptional.
Secondly, do read The book Thief...
- Very rarely a book comes out that steals my breath away. The BookThief, by Markus Zusak is a revelation. Narrated by Death, this story follows Leisel as she steals books in Nazi Germany while she and her best friend Rudy discover the power of words, language and friendship. Zusak's writing is mesmerizing; it's sarcastic, emotional, sophisticated and wondrous.
Thirdly, A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini...
- This book moved me to tears, it is truly a remarkable and beautifully crafted novel. At times Hosseini paints harrowing and brutal scenes but always retains, through the characters of Mariam and Laila, humanity, spirit and above all love. There were chapters in this novel through which I literally held my breath, wishing with all my heart that what was unfolding would not, could not happen. It is very easy for those of us lucky enough to live in safety to visualise Afghanistan as a brutal, forsaken place, but this novel shows us something more. It forces the reader to acknowledge and recognise not only the suffering of people in our war torn world but something else, the human capacity for survival, forgiveness and love.
I've got loads more...Let me know what you think of the ones I've recommended 😛😉@Bold- OMG 😲 Am I dreaming or something? You've actually accepted my demand Awww Shukriyaji, I really really really appreciate it. You've literally made my day ❤️ Ahh I can't describe my happiness right now 😆 😳In regards to an epilogue, only write it if you think it's necessary... If your planning on ending it abruptly then an epilogue is needed. If you do complete justice to the ending (Which you will be doing) then don't include one. 😛P.S. I'll be looking forward to your reply...🤗🤗xoxo
Its Aamna in pronunciation, Amna when I spell it officially. Aaminah when IF has enough Amna on board.
Since you are a huge fan of green and also because you endorse him repeatedly. I'll just probably be kind enough to him and give it a read soon.😉
Also thank you for taking out time to give me an insight of the books. A confession, I tried reading 'a thousand splendid suns' but it was so sad. I just couldn't bring myself to read it further. The command Khalid has over words and the way he writes is so eloquent that it depressed me. As much as I enjoy writing dark stories, the fiction does get on to me and I'm a day dreamer so I'd rather find my solace in a happy world. 😃
Can I ask for some romantic, third person writeup? 😳
Yes, I'm the same hopeless romantic!
As for the request, I'm happy that you are happy! And the epilogue is still undecided samiya. I have yet to finish writing the last chapter before that.
I really appreciate your efforts in the detailed description of the books/authors. Thanks again!
