Write two genre of your choice.

And two two books each which you want someone to read.
You can add books you want to read or haven't read.

Sounds interesting. :D
2 genres of our choice and 2 books per genre from our TBR?
Uske baad?

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Ahem, on to serious stuff now.
I'm hoping we don't have to share both genres and all four books at the same time. Abhi mushkil se ek final hua.

Par yeh btao pehle.. is it okay if the books i want to read are already read by one/both of you, as we three are the only inhabitants of this thread rn ?

We need to drag more people here!

No we will pick one genre randomly for monthly read. That way we wont stress ourselves or burnout.

Main purpose of this is to read something of someone else's choice

For example
Fiction
Non fiction
Fantasy
Humor

A genre will be picked. Then the number of books added in this thread for that genre will again be selected randomly.

Let's say fantasy genre is selected.

Then a random book (only the books mentioned in this thread) from that genre will be picked for the month . If we finish it before the month end. We can spin another number for another book of same genre or we can do a series of that genre.

I hope all not confusing anyone

should it be a book no one's read idhar then? or koi bhi daal de, select hogi toh dekha jaayega?

Okayyy. Sounds similar to book of the month but with a specific genre, right?
Hope I’m getting it correct.
Looks fun but we will need more people to participate!

Ghoom phir ke saari baat idhar aake ruk jaati xD

Let's do one thing .. let's start with us. Others will join soon when they'll see intersting books.

Okayyy! Works for me. :)

What's the next step?
You picking the genre of the month? Or we putting up our favorite two genres and books?

@Purvi: Okay then xD

@Polo: Listing genres and books, I think!

Also, should we make sure that none of us three has read the book we are putting up yet? Already itte kam janne kyunki 😅

Yeah that’s a good point actually.
But how are we gonna know that? 🧐

~~Poulomi Sylphrena Tonk$~~ wrote: "Yeah that’s a good point actually.

Jo bhi book we add, we can just scroll a little and see if either of the other two have marked it as read xD would increase the effort teensyyy bit, but i don't mind 🤭

The only trouble is, some of the books i had planned to add were rec'ed to me by Poori-moori xD I'll have to look for new ones now 😂

Two things. Books suggestions. Genre choice

Each one of us will enter three genre

And then we will enter two books for each genre. If anyone have read any of the book. Then it's the responsibility of the person who posted their choice to change the book.

Does this works well ???

Works amazingly!
3 genre, 2 books each, poster ensures no one else has read them by checking book's GR page.

1. Non-Fiction Romance Number 7
• Dear Scott, Dearest Zelda: The Love Letters of F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald
• Yours Always: Letters of Longing

*waits for rest to roll their eyes at romance* XD

2. Classics Number 3
• Flowers for Algernon
• Jonathan Livingston Seagull

3. Short Stories Number 1
• The Quiet Boy
• Birthday Girl

I'm done with my 3 genres with 2 books each list! Me first ^_^ xD

Oooo. Cool choices, Bff! :D

For some reason, I read the author name of "The Bone Collector" as Jeffrey DAHMER! XD

And it sent chills down my spine. Imagine the serial killer writing a book named bone collector. *-*

Ishi wrote: "What do we do next Your Highness?? :D"

Same question, Your Highness. :P

Now Pick a number from 1-9
3 numbers each and give it to the genre.
Then we will spin
Which every genre is picked. We will read it.

One book a month or if possible both books.

And then give the choices again.
We can add use the leftover books but the genre used will not be repeated for atleast five spins.

Any questions??

Okay. Looks fine to me.

No questions at present. Will figure out if there are any, as we go forth. :P
