Hii guys,

I'm just a beginner and I have read only 16 books, I read only fast paced, easy reads (like freida's books and Agggtm series) I love sci-fi movies but I have never tried a book and I wanna try this one but I'm not sure if I'll be able to read it so those who have read it please let me know if it's easy and beginner friendly and also I started silent patient after 2 chapters I got bored :)

these are the books i am staring with, I'll pick tale of two cities.

I came to the realisation, reading genres I like is easier but that doesn't mean I don't explore more.

Although I like fiction more than non-fiction, this month's best read was A brief history of time . It brought together many of the scientific discoveries and theories I had read about in academics into a coherent set of happenings. All over a good month.

Happy reading 💛

What do you suggest?

I’ve already read Morisaki Bookshop, Norwegian wood and Anxious people from the ones in the pic

I got this a few months back but picked up just today because lately my sister has been having some bizarre dreams and i would like to undertand them .

Do you think its worth a read , did u get any fruitful insights ?

I have written a story, "Chacha Ji - From Roots and Relationships to Modernity". It is a heartfelt story set in an Indian village. It's about a gentleman, people call him "Chacha Ji".

"Chacha Ji" is a respectful Hindi term meaning Uncle. It is often used not only for a father's younger brother but also as an affectionate way of addressing an elder.

Through his wisdom, compassion, and vision, he inspires people to believe that a small and consistent effort brings big changes. Whether through sports, innovation, entrepreneurship, or community spirit, he encourages everyone to grow together.

The story beautifully explores the harmony between tradition and modernity without placing one above the other. It shows that respecting our roots does not mean rejecting new ideas, and embracing modernity does not require abandoning our values. Filled with warmth, hope, and meaningful life lessons, Chacha Ji is a celebration of human relationships and a reminder that a stronger society is built when tradition and progress walk hand in hand.

Lastly, this cover is designed by my sister. She is a good illustrator, as you can see. I am thankful to her.

Hi everyone,

I'm from Bhagalpur, Bihar, and after spending the last few years writing in my free time, I've finally published my first novel on Kindle.

It's called The Girl Who Only Spoke on Sundays.

It's a contemporary romance about two people, 620 days, and everything that happens in between. What starts as a Bumble conversation slowly turns into a story about distance, friendship, grief, hope, poetry, and the small moments that end up changing our lives.

The story is set in modern India and is built around a simple idea:

Sunday was all they had.

He turned a limitation into a ritual.

As someone from Bhagalpur, it feels special to share this milestone with people from home first.

If you enjoy relationship-driven stories, I'd be grateful if you gave it a look. Feedback, reviews, and honest criticism are all welcome.

Thank you for reading.

Kaushik

Hello!

For the past month or so I have been working on Another Page. It's an e-reader that also functions as an app blocker, so if you are someone whose goal is to read more, it can be fairly useful. It puts a few pages of a classic book between you and your most distracting apps. So if you open an app like Instagram or TikTok, a reading screen will show up first. Read a bit, and the app opens for the window you have set. Then it will lock once again.

How it works

1. Pick the apps you want to block.
2. When you open one, a reading session starts, right where you left off.
3. Hit your goal, in pages or minutes, and the app unlocks for as long as you set.

Some of its features

• It's a fully featured EPUB reader, so it has a good font selection, light/sepia/dark themes, highlights, higlights, bookmarks, and basically everything you would expect from a proper e-book reader app. It works as a standalone reader too.
• A library of about 1,400 free classics from Standard Ebooks. These are nicely made public-domain editions. You don't need any subscription to read them. Each one downloads the first time you open it, then it's saved for offline reading. Some examples are Frankenstein, Pride and Prejudice, Moby Dick, and Meditations.
• The rules are extremely flexible and you can customize them to your needs. Pages or minutes to unlock, how many unlocks a day, how long each one lasts. Pause it, put it on a schedule, or borrow a little time when you've run out. The app holds you to your choices. It doesn't punish you.
• There's no account needed, and there are no ads or tracking. Your blocked apps, reading progress, and streaks always stay on your phone.
• If you really mean it, there's an optional strict mode (Premium) that puts a PIN or a puzzle in your way when you try to loosen your own rules, so a weak moment can't quietly undo them.

The free version has all the core features: the reader, the full library of 1,400 books, blocking, streaks, and stats. It works fine on its own. The app also a premium tier if you want more, with unlimited blocked apps (free covers 3), app groups with their own rules, uploading your own books, extra schedule windows, reading insights, and a couple of streak freezes a month.

It's Android only for now, but I am working on the ios version too. Let me know if you have any feedback or questions! You can also DM me if you are curious about the premium, and I can send you promo codes.

You can download it from the play store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.anotherpage

[Mods can delete this if it breaks any rules]

Back in January, a colleague came over to my place, saw my book collection, and asked for a recommendation. I happily lent her Nirmala, thinking she’d read it responsibly at home. Not only did she not read it for 6 months, but when I finally asked for it back, this is the condition she returned it in. My heart hurts....💔😞

There was a time when I wasn't even sure if I'd ever finish this story.

Today, it's finally out in the world.

The Invisible Scream is a psychological coming-of-age story, and it's free on Amazon Kindle for the next 3 days.

If you decide to give it a read, I genuinely hope it stays with you long after the last page. ✨️🤞
