And I actually recommend this book to every single person who asks me for recommendations. And the author actually took ten years to write this. So it's Chef's Case, and it's the easiest five stars I've ever given. Also, if you read until the end, please don't read this book at night. If you enjoy reading books at night, do that. But I did that and I was crying until 03:00 a.m.

And I believe I read the whole book several times and again I think maybe it was in fifth or 6th standard of mine and then again in 8th or 9th again, there was after what actually happened after the war. That is a story. I don't actually completely remember that, but I read even that. And a few years later I even bought this particular six standard non detailed book from Scrap books secondhand bookseller from Mumbai. And I read it again several times

Oh, that's so nice. Actually, this book completely changed the way I saw him because usually when we listen to stories about Achilles, he is this, you know, one man genocide, whose defining character is rage and desire to to defeat everybody. But this book is completely changed the way I saw him. And it came from a different perspective. It came from the perspective of his companion, Petrocholis

And you gave it five stars, because if not, I will be coming right at you. And I'll be like, what the heck? But I'm glad we're on the same page. Great. I love this book. I love Madeline Miller. I was wondering if you had read her other book, Cersei. Now, that one is different from Song of the Khali, but it's just as good. It's so good

I told him I would read, so I have to finish that right now. I'm reading The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo. It is inspired by Elizabeth Taylor, I believe. And I'm actually enjoying it. It's kind of slow pace, but I love it. And also, I am a huge book firm, too

It's like, when you first read a book, you get this like, oh my gosh, it's so great. And then a while later you step back and you're like it's. Okay. So it was like, I think when I first read it, I was like, oh my gosh, it's really good. It's five stars. And then I step back and I'm like, no, it's good. It's four stars. I don't know

Hi. I haven't read The Hana Artist yet. I think it's by Alka Joshi. Yeah. Arka Joshi. I have seen it around a couple of times and it is in my wish list, but I haven't read it yet, so I'll definitely read it next and I'll tell you you what I feel about it, but I will check out Daisy Jones and the 6th too

Kept me consistent with writing my own book. I am writing a book. I'm on the working on the third draft right now. Exciting. But anyway, glad to meet you here on Swell and I'm going to add the link and I'd love for you to check it out and tell me what you think. Alright. I'll catch you later. Bye
