fiction

Below are the books I have read and liked. I need to build a list of fiction to read - something that is well written, good story, characters and their unique worlds, unputdownable, something that stays in mind a few days after I finish it and something that gives a different perspective on life and people. 

I wish there were recommendation from friends (than Goodreads and Amazon recommendations) which are genuine than a machine recommendation, wider in variety and expands the range than what I might find on my own or just stumble upon.

weekly notes - wk 17 / 2024

  1. I took a break from work (mostly) for a week. I had felt exhausted, out of energy and was wound up so much that I was easily triggered....
