Never that I've thought Times Now will come up with an article that will recommend books that are probably unheard of in the general influencers circle. And these books sound so deep, anybody have an idea about these books?

Also Ice Palace is just peak from what I've known. It's been on my list for a while.

I'll Go first

Zedd.

His music had that, close to perfection thing. In the way he cleanly blends different styles with his style of EDM.

But apart from that My guy probably has one of the best Music & Visuals sync in the industry till date, His music videos speak for that. You'll know. Guessing that you've already seen a few, especially at the time of the drop, he brings anything that syncs with the video and the drop just wow.

And apart from that His album covers and if you peek Into his socials he has a lot to do with Art in general even outside of music.

They would blast your ears saying this is the summer song/ nostalgia song and market it all over. With a dedicated music video, If Written In Reverse gets a release now.

I remember Afrojack Amel and Martin Garrix's Our Time. It was marketed so much last year. And it was a good song. But come to think of it, it would've been just another good song if released in 2010's.

There's a ton to explore for people who started listening to 2010's music after the era ended. They'd eventually miss a ton of great songs time has forgotten.

I wouldn't mind some more recommendations

I'm trying to make a post about the best online bookstores/websites in India. And I've bought from only a few of these.

So wanna know what's your experience.

Personally My experience with Bookswagon is always good apart from their Pricing and Deliver time even for common books.

Amazon is overall the best bet.

Flipkart can be Risky but I've almost always received good stuff from them, even rare books a few times at a good price. Original ones not Pirated tho.

Bookchor is the real deal for me, popular second hand classics are always available, it's just you have to spend a bit more to avoid delivery charges. But their delivery charges are way more flexible than Bookswagon and prices are manageable as long as the book is available.

Sapna online: they priced the book at low price them weeks after called me that it isn't available and I'll have to pay 2x more (which was way more than other online outlets). Although they refund all the money apart from the 99rs books they shipped separately before. Didn't charge any delivery fee for it.

Bestofusedbooks: The books were old and absolutely proper shape. No other second hand outlet had that Mass market paperback of Arabian Nights, so glad to have that on from them.

Drop yours, and I've tried to put out Pirated book sellers, Flipkart is in cause they Often sell original books.

I totally get why people like me and some others want the 2015 so bad, and I hope we'll get it soon Like We are the People Martin Garrix Remix.

But this drop is actually joyful and if you listen this drop is not a thin one, there's a depth in it. I'll welcome this version and I think fans should do that Too. It'll appeal to a mass audience

I've been through a ton of book communities in the past year. And every time I come back to a shelf in this or any indian community, at least 70% of the books are amongst the same 40-50 books. And some people have the whole stack of books suggested by Influencers.

You can say let them read what they want or that The common 50 books covers basics so everyone reads them. Or the common defence line "Are we judging what people read now"

But no, as soon as you go to a Global community, the similarity each Shelf shares there is around 10-15% At best, then everyone owns what they like. You can't say everyone likes the same book in India and Shares the same taste. Something is a bit off.

So I'm curious why people who never read anything outside of Popular books, ie: books that everyone in socials tells you to read. Why don't you try something different, for both Fiction and Non Fiction readers.

Amongst the good and Bad Ones classic readers faces, there's this one thing.

Whenever I pick up a Light book after reading heavy classics, it finishes even before I realise, I'd go through 200 pages just to realise it's just around two hours or so. Couldn't only be me. It's like suffering from a success you might not like. The thing that You'll understand the feel good/light book, but it will finish even before you Fully feel it.

Picked a Light Japanese book and read through 100 pages before realising I need to slow down or I'll miss the motto of the book.

Posted on my booktok but nobody liked it, cause it's a reader problem and people don't read in booktok they show off hahaha. so gotta be some people who face that here.

Here's a speaker test at 50% volume. Not only are they ridiculously loud; the sound profile is crystal clear and balanced. I've yet to hear better (and louder) speakers in a modern day smartphone!
