I like books very much (usually i read islamic and critical thinking related),
But my problem is that i am more like a book collector, i mean i have so many books but i haven't read even half of them and i hate it.
I think the problem is procrastination or laziness.
I want to overcome this problem ASAP,
I would like, if someone have a good and effective solution for this problem.

Fellow readers my sister's birthday is just around the corner. I don't know shit about urdu novels and where to get them, last year I got her "LA Haasil" it was a hardback but the paper quality was so shit.

This time i want to gift her soemthing that actually have giftable quality. So I need help in,

Firstly which novel to gift her considering her taste or something different for a recommendation that you think she would like to explore.

Secondly where to get that novel? I've been ordering from Bookeve but they don't have urdu books. My requirements are simple the paper and print quality should be above average and actually giftable. Should be hardback coz it looks way premium and lasts long ig. And lastly within my 2500 max budget. I'm not looking for originals as they're generally way pricier. Local shops in my city are trash so that's a no. Thank you in advance!

Following are the ones she already own:

1. La Haasil.

2. Mushaf.

3. Karakoram ka taj mahal.

4. Pahari ka qaidi.

5. Peer e Kaamil.

6. Chalis Charag Ishq Ke.

7. Khud se khuda tk.

8. Jannat k pattay.

9. Ishq e aatish.

10. Amarbail.

**I am looking for an Urdu romantic novel, probably published after 2000. I read it in Pakeezah Aanchal, Mahakta Aanchal, or possibly another Urdu women's digest such as Shuaa/Khawateen. I remember a young girl around 17–18 who is very attached and possessive of her young aunt (possibly her khala or phuppo). The aunt has a serious male friend/love interest, possibly someone she is going to get engaged to. There is a dinner/restaurant scene where the niece and the aunt's male friend have an argument because the niece is possessive of her aunt.

I also vaguely remember another scene: the niece comes home from school wearing a Western-style school uniform. There is a young man sitting at the house who seems interested in/stares at her while she sits and rolls/adjusts her socks. The aunt's male friend notices the way the young man looks at her and seems uncomfortable/protective.

I am not 100% sure whether these two scenes are from the same novel. It was most likely a romantic/family Urdu novel from a digest after 2000. Does anyone reco

I LOVEEE thicc books. Please recommend some good fat fiction books I could get which are not boring.

I love fantasy, mystery, historical fiction, thrillers, basically anything.

BUT I did not like the lord of the rings maybe bcs it was too descriptive? I'm trying my best to finish it but I just can't.

What are the best options, digital books as i have seen many people using e books and reading it form Mobile or laptop well some prefer physical books i also love physical one but they are very budget consuming.

Any advice.

have a bunch of cheap books (paperback/used) or a few high quality books (special editions/hardback)

okay I know it's still quite early to be asking this. But I'm curious so I wanna confirm. I've never been to LIBF before nor do I live in Lahore. But I'm planning to go for this one in January IA. As I'll be going for only one day. I want to know which day the writers sit and sign books? Last year it was mustehsan Hussain tarrar and some others too that I don't remember now.

I've never seen LIBF announce that on their page. So how do I know if they are there on the first day or second or third?

How you guys read books which are very rich in English . As our mother tongue is Urdu we all are not so much pro in English . I really want to read old literature books but the problem is after reading 2 lines I need to stop re-read to understand meaning. This makes the reading process turtle speed and boring . I am not somebody who will search meaning after every line 😭 it make me feel frustrated and I lose the interest.

I have this book notes from underground by Fyodor Dostoevsky . I have read 5 pages . I want to read more , I want to understand because the book is interesting but the English 🙂

Can anybody suggest any trick . So that I can grasp the meaning easily .
