Completed these 8 books in April (my personal best). I am writing a short review of these. If anybody want to discuss any of these, please feel free to speak your mind.

  1. Recursion by Blake Crouch- This was my second Crouch book after Dark Matter and this is type of book which should be a movie. It has a vaguely similar plot as of Dark Matter. A page-turner with a pretty good concept. 8.5/10 for me.

  2. Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman- Loved this book. I have special place in my heart for characters that society found weird or who are misfits which made me love it even more. I read it along with Audiobook which was pretty awesome too. 8.5/10 for me.

  3. Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn- My third book from Gillian after Gone girl and The Grownup and I don't think she can write anything bad. I really like how she write those messy female protagonists. I think I liked it better than Gone Girl. I think I will give it a 8.75/10.

  4. Kindred by Octavia E. Butler- "I lost my hand on my last trip there" - This is the first line of book (this was what I read on a reddit post recommending this book and it was absolutely worth it). A 9/10 for me.

  5. And Every Morning The Way Home Gets Longer And Longer by Fredrik Backman- I have read Anxious people, A man called ove (my favourite) and The answer is no (novella) and I absolutely adore Backman but this was the first book (novella) that I didn't find good. It is around 35 pages long and I personally think that short stories doesn't do justice with the writing of Backman. I think the way he develops the characters in his books are more suited to longer formats. A 4/10 for me.

  6. The Egg and Other Stories by Andy Weir- This is basically a collection of short stories written by Andy. The egg is pretty popular but the rest are not so much and after completing the book, I am wondering why aren't they? There are 9 short stories and I don't think there is any paperback version of this book. You can find the audiobook though. A 9.5/10 for me.

  7. Annie Bot by Sierra Greer- This is the kind of book which starts like an episode of black mirror where you keep thinking that something bad is going to happen but nope. It is very unique and great concept which will make you think differently about AI. 8.5/10 for me.

  8. Convenience Store Woman by Sayaka Murata- Another book about a misfit in society. I think the main lead was very similar to eleanor oliphant and I liked her a lot. I think just maybe it gets repetitive after the middle but still a nice book. A 7/10 for me.

I am open to any recommendations or suggestions or discussions. See you soon guys.
