A Suitable Boy by Vikram Seth

blurb

It | Stephen King

I've been listening to way too many eerie real murder and crime stories and now I have this creepy feeling all the time... plus I've decided to finally read IT
#QOTD Name your favourite horror author?
I haven't read a lot of this genre so I would obviously go for King...

Nikki15 @mahra_butt definitely Stephen King as well! 7y

mahra_butt @Nikki15 nice! I read a bit of Poe and liked that. Next on the list is Clive barker... have you ever read anything by him... I've heard really good stuff about his work 7y

Nikki15 @mahra_butt I should definitely read some Poe! I haven't read anything by Barker but let me know if it's good! 7y

BarbaraBB Is that you, standing there? 7y

mahra_butt @BarbaraBB yep... it's a hill station in Pakistan and it's cold there the entire year 😂 7y

MrBook I was going to ask it, but @BarbaraBB beat me to it 🙌🏻. Cold the entire year, wow! There's a spot in NYC's Central Park I used to frequent often 😊👍🏻. Now, my back porch in my wicker rocking chair. 7y

mahra_butt @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks haha! I have a feeling all readers have old souls...specially if they read classics... 7y

BarbaraBB Beautiful picture! I once visited Pakistan. Such a beautiful country! 7y

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @mahra_butt I think you're right!! Beautiful pic 💕 7y

PatriciaU My best and favorite place is on the shore of Black Lake in the western foothills of the Adirondack Mountains in NYS. Thanks for the tag @MrBook (edited) 7y

SpeculativeFemale My favorites include my oversized chair, my bathtub, and anywhere shady with a good breeze that I can set up my camp chair. Since our local state parks are both along rivers or streams, there are lots of nice little shady areas with cool breezes coming off the water. 7y

LeahBergen I love to read in the chair in my own little library. A close second would be reading in bed or reading in the bath (I have a giant tub 😄). Thanks for the tag, @MrBook 😘 7y

mahra_butt Rocking chairs seem to be a favourite here! Followed by the bath tub 😀 7y

Smangela @mahra_butt gorgeous picture ? what a magical spot! Favorite spots are generally just a comfy chair anywhere. Whenever we find our "forever home" my goal is to have a reading nook ❤️❤️ thanks for tagging me @MrBook :) 7y

Sue Thanks for the tag @MrBook I love reading at the beach or our local dam, or on my couch with my kitties. 7y

tpixie @mahra_butt that is such a lovely, majestic place! I love to read on my back porch listening to the rustling of leaves 🍃 and sometimes the deer 🦌 come out. Twice I've seen a fox 🦊!! I like to read with my feet up!! My porch chairs have ottomans. My 2nd favorite spot is my chair in the living room (lol with an ottoman). Thx @MrBook for the tag!! 7y

Reecaspieces I will read anywhere. Car,bathtub,work,ballgame. But my favorite place is outside. Anywhere outside. I sit on my back deck in the morning and I have a little sitting area under shade trees that I use the rest of the time. I do have a reading spot inside (waiting on my new reading chair). Thanks for the tag @MrBook 7y

BarbaraTheBibliophage I read in my great-grandmothers swan-arm rocker quite often. Or just propped up in bed or on the couch! Audiobooking however happens everywhere! 📚📚😎😎 7y

britt_brooke @mahra_butt Stunning photo! 💚 Thanks for the tag @MrBook - I'll read pretty much anywhere, but my daily favorite is in bed after the kids are asleep! 7y

LibrarianJen @MrBook thanks for the mention! I would have to say right now it's where ever I can find 5 minutes of peace and quiet! Most of my reading haunts are outdoors, around the university or in the mountains. However there are also a couple breweries whose ambiance are great for reading as well as a few coffee shops. Anywhere with a fireplace and comfy chairs will do. 7y

Lola I'm definitely an anywhere reader, but some of my favorites spots are the bath, my reading nook, poolside, and the park. Thanks for the tag @MrBook 🙂 7y

Cupofjo Thanks @MrBook ... I will read anywhere! But my favorite spots are the back patio couch or bed with a hot or cold coffee near by! 7y

melbeautyandbooks My favorite at home spots are my bed or couch. I travel a lot for work so I also read a lot on planes with my noise canceling headphones- and people still try to talk to me 😡. Thanks for the tag @MrBook 😊 7y

batsy That's a gorgeous pic. My fav reading spot is actually any comfortable chair. Boring, I know 😊 7y

becausetrains My favorite place is anywhere I can concentrate enough to get sucked into a book, especially moving places. Airplanes are good, buses are ok, trains are a lot better 😉 but really, anywhere that people aren't trying to get my attention and there are few distractions like nice scenery. 7y

TheLondonBookworm I'll read anywhere and everywhere! Currently I'm tucked up on a corner sofa of a hostel in Tralee, Ireland enjoying my evening post surfing in the Irish Sea! But my favourite place is tucked in my parents sofa corner - best sofa in the world!!!!! 7y

BarbaraBB I read it a long time ago, and don't remember specific parts, but I loved Scarlett and how not-nice she is! 7y

mahra_butt @BarbaraBB OMG I know what you mean...she is a mean person but to see her breaking norms and flashing away like that is so satisfying 😂 7y

How many of you like old book shops? Do tell me what your experiences have been with old book shops...I would live to know

Oh my god! I went to an old book shop and actually had to stop myself from buying the entire stock!
Got books for my two wonderful nieces and a few for my cousins. 8 for myself 😊
And what wonderful gems!

Our Lady of Alice Bhatti | Mohammed Hanif

Starting a #MahrasQOTD ...question at the end!

Throwback to this book... I loved his first novel but this was a major disappointment...but still it's author signed so...
P.s it's MAHRA not mahira...happens to me all the time & it's irritating 😑
But still you guys need to go read his first book

So the first #MahrasQOTD : How many of you have read Pakistani literature?

batsy Not enough, unfortunately. 😕 I've read Bapsi Sidhwa and Sara Suleri's Meatless Days, which I loved. Need to get around to Hanif. Also want to check out Saba Imtiaz's book

[tagged book]

Karachi, You�re Killing Me!

mahra_butt @batsy oh I'm looking forward to Saba Imtiaz's too... it's been on my Tbr forever. And Bapsi Sidhwa is love... specially her crow eaters. And I need to check out meatless days. I would highly recommend 'A Blind Man's Garden's by Nadeem Aslam...its not in litsy, just recommended it 😊 7y

batsy @mahra_butt Thank you for that, I will look out for it! Crow Eaters I haven't read, I've been meaning too. I've read Cracking India and want to reread it at some point. 7y

A Suitable Boy | Vikram Seth

I was wondering if I were to start a blog what should I name it... I had a blog a few years back but I've grown out of that. I want something that relates to dentistry and books because I am the dentist who reads 😂 I'll also put in some dental advice.
Plus this photo does not do justice to how huge the book I am reading is

A Suitable Boy | Vikram Seth

When a patient cancels at the last moment and you have a 15 minute reading break! 👐 I can safely say this book is one of my favorites and I'm hardly half way through this beauty...#Vikram Seth has written an epic saga that has the flow of poetry and hits you hard like a classic.
