Good Read Challenge 2020 Completed

This is not a review of the book and I only expressing my thoughts and also not going to revealing any story (No Spoilers) Only thing mentioned here whether I enjoyed it or not!

Okay, let's go! 

The first book I picked up this year was one of the favorite authors Ravinder Singh's the belated bachelor's party. This book initially started very well and so funny, humor around the characters but it perfectly derailed in the middle of the book and I cannot able to enjoy the part of the story and it's very disappointed even though it's my favorite author book and am looking forward to his next book anyway.

The next book I picked up the modern classic historic Novel Train to Pakistan by Khuswant Singh it's a famous book and story sets at the time of independence of India and partition of India and Pakistan, How's in the small village(Mano Majra) people impacted and reacted the partition. But one thing I felt How's the atrocious events that happened, How people were suffered during that time, Even though the author conveyed his fictional characters still the story is relevant current period too, Dividing the Humans by religion, caste, and all the things and nothing was changed. 

The next book was Chanakya Chant by Ashwin Sanghi it is a Historical fiction book. I had taken very long days to complete the book. I don't know why I can't able to connect with the characters and also plot quite disappointed in this book

The next book I picked up was one of the books which hold longtime in my bookshelf The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini Historical fiction book sets in Afghanistan story revolves around the central characters Amir and his life journey throughout the book his childhood friend Hassan also one of the important characters. In this book, we can able to learn another side of the world which happened and how people went through the traumatic incidents & events changed their life. These are the things crafted excellently by the author through his characters also highly recommended and also waiting to read A thousand splendid of suns other work of the same author.

Next book I had completed the most hyped and famous book and also winner good read choice award Alex Michalides 's A Silent Patient I also wrote a detailed review in my blog. This book one for those who have a reading slump definitely this one will be work and recovers from that and Anyway its page-turner holds you till the end.

The next book I picked up The seeker by Karan bajaj Story revolved around the character Max wall street banker how his life turned and seeking spiritualism & went to the Himalayas and meet the peoples in India and How his life transformed and become yogi. This book deals more with Yoga and asanas, Spirituality things which are really interested to read. Good work by the author and looking forward to his next work.

Next book, The Good Daughter by Karin slaughter nominee of the good reads choice award for mystery & thriller in 2017 at that time I bought this book aftermath now only had a chance to read it. It's a really great thriller and the story revolves around the sisters (Charlie and Sam) tragic events that happened during their childhood time and after how their life-changing! is all about the good daughter. Very long book it covers 500+ Pages Little draggy in the middle but one of the great thrillers I had in my reading times.

Next book I picked up one of the famous and Padma Shri award author Amitav Ghosh's The Hungry Tide. Really it will go to the list of my favorite books and I really had a fantastic journey throughout this book especially his writings and language. This is a pure literary works even though personally quite difficult for me to urge dictionary each & every time I thoroughly enjoyed the whole book cover to cover. The author's way of describing every location in the plot as absolutely stunning (Sunderbans, Mangrove Forest, and all) will hook the reader till the end of the book. Surely I will read his other works & all the books on my wishlist.

This Time I picked one of the recent famous historical fiction books " A long petal of the sea by Isabel Allende" I had an Extraordinary journey from 1934-1994. One thing I really liked about the book was the way of imagining the characters because of the prolonged period you will keep changing their looks, Author did an impeccable way of describing the story by telling the historic events along with every character gone through the impacts. This book deals with many things which really happened in that period Spanish civil war, people moved from Spain to Chile, Chile's development by migrating people and also political changes, right and left-wing ideas, socialism, Marxism and all the things perfectly blended to the story. Overall it's a great book.

The last and Final book of the Reading challenge was Preeti Shenoy's When Love came calling. I almost read her previous works and I liked her way of sketching the story and plot. This book not up to the mark plot not much as stronger to engage. Some part of the book is good but I feel something was missing not satisfied in the end anyway it's quick to read the book, not in the bad category.

I completed my good read challenge in the year 2020 and even though limited in numbers I really enjoyed the reading experience. Reading books was always fascinating and getting inside the world of characters & went through their feelings was something unexpressed in the words. My reading always will continue. . .
