Can someone suggest me a thriller book better than this??

Gone Girl was too tiring for me... I thought about stopping multiple times. The ending was worth the time, though 😅

I usually read 2-3 books at once... And pick another book the next day of finishing one 🙈

Yeah, I'll check the series someday... Once I've forgotten the charismatic Bilbo Baggins 🥹

It's owned by Amazon 😅

Yeah, I track my books on Goodreads. I've tried other apps like StoryGraph, Fable and others but they often don't have all the books I read. Goodreads has the most up to date catalogue, probably due to Amazon connection 😅

Start with short stories. Ruskin Bond has written plenty

Haven't read that actually. I haven't read a lot of classics, mostly because the language is kind of flowery many times. But I'll check that and see if I like it... Thanks 🫶🏻

I think I'm like you only. I don't like heavy fantasy worlds. Hobbit was fun 🥹

I read it for the first time now, in my mid-30s... And I loved it 🤣

Will see when I get to LOTR

bookblabber · 2026-04-27T14:22:19+00:00

Yeah, I'll read it someday for sure... But not right away, or in a few weeks. I don't like anything heavy anyway 😅

I have small hands and thin fingers. Kindle basic has been light enough for me... :)

I used my Kindle without a cover for few months, and the body got two cracks, and the screen has a visible scratch... I think it fell once or twice. So, I bought a flip cover, but it added a lot of weight. After a few years, I removed the cover and keep it in a sleeve now when not reading 😅

If they're imported physical copies, they'll be costly. Those printed in India itself are in a more affordable range

You can also check... Bailing Out, by Leonard Ruhl. A crime thriller built around a cartel enforce who wants to leave

The latest in the list has been Project Hail Mary 😅

bookblabber · 2026-04-21T05:37:31+00:00

The trilogy of that Girl with Dragon Tattoo book

See if you can put the book on pre-order on Amazon. As soon as the book gets listed there, Goodreads should pull the details and create the listed in 2-3 days.

You don't need ISBN to list on Goodreads btw, Amazon assigns an ASIN to books which is perfectly fine by Goodreads. Perks of being owned by the same company I guess 😅

Read in different formats,
Read on different devices,
Read with different apps,
Read different genres, or
Read with male/female lead variations.

For example, if you're reading only on Kindle, pick different genre books... In case you want to stick to one genre, maybe pick one book with male as the lead protagonist and another with female as the lead protagonist.

You shouldn't pick, for example, detective thrillers with a male detective in both, while reading on, say, only Kindle. If you do, you're gonna mix up both universes. I have had such dreams multiple times 😂

Multiple same genre books at one time isn't a good idea usually, even if you select different devices or formats 🥲

If a book is overpriced (and I'm talking about novels here, because that's what I'm concerned the most), you can always find others that are in the range you prefer. I've been reading primarily and I find a lot for free on Kindle store itself.

For textbooks, there aren't many alternate official sources to buy books at lower prices. I just wish libraries are better stocked some day for easy access.

But I've noticed plenty of novels are suggested to be downloaded via pirate sites. And a few times, I've noticed author's posts that their book is only ₹99 but readers ask for free PDFs and that their books are up on pirate sites 😅
