This is a pre-discussion thread, so just tell us your non-spoilery thoughts!

Happy Reading, Soldiers!

Hello everyone!
How are your August reads going?

Anyways, I completed Scion of Ikshvaku and completely loved it. According to me, it was a great poiltical drama and I loved the kind of characters Amish created out of Lord Ram and Sita.

I loved Bharat and Lakshman very much, the way they respected and loved Lord Ram despite the circumstances.
I loved how Amish related Meluha with Ikshvaku, and I can't wait to read the next one!

How did you guys like it? :)

Didn't read (Will read if August stays a few more days in India). Just completed by Hermann Hesse and now back on by Ruta Sepetys. Actually, I started it few days ago to check if I can read more than 2 book at a time. I failed. So, I cleared my Currently-Reading shelf, and put it away. Now my shelf is almost empty, I started it again. Read again from the beginning and enjoyed it. Almost 25% done, will complete it in 3-4 days. Although story is gripping and emotional till now.

Hey everyone! I hope you're all enjoying the August reads :)

Just wanted to add an update here. I'm starting Between Shades of Gray now and I'm excited despite the book's setting because I love historical fiction.

I too loved Scion of Ikshvaku. I loved Bharat and lakshman. I absolutely loved how Amish put his imagination to include the Delhi rape case and the draupadi's swayambar in his story.

Started BSOG last night, it's going to be quite an emotional ride I believe!

Just completed Between Shades of Gray . 5 out of 5. I don't give 5 star easily but this book deserves. Author played with the emotions of the reader. Disturbing. Maybe review it sometime later. Speechless. Taking a break from reading for some days. Then I should read something light.
Now researching about it and Lithuania.

BSOG improved my avg rating though it is still 3.12 because of CB's books.

Hey Soldiers of this Fictional Fortress, Anybody is ready to read Out of the Easy by the very same author Ruta Sepetys??? Buddy Read???
I'm going to read it in September with our chosen group read books.
If anyone is interested, Contact me.
Cover is awesome and reviews are also good.

Hope to start Between Shades of Gray by tomorrow.. I need to get one off my currently reading shelf before I start this! :)

The only WW II book I have read before this is The Book Thief, which I love to the core.. I hope this is as good! ^_^

For those who of you loved BSOG, read 'The Book Thief' if you haven't already!!!

Arpit, I can be your buddy, but I don't wanna read that book. If you want to, we can read any other book. PM me, if interested.

I know you are going to love that book! It really did tear my heart out.. I am not much of a crying person but I wept without even realizing that I was.. with The Book Thief! :)

Now August is over, Should not we discuss our August picks? I thought after Pre-discussion, there would be Discussion.

Unfortunately, we won't be having August book discussion. Really Sorry. But things are going to be different from this month so Yay and I hope you join us for the September Read-along, cause we most certainly will have a lengthy discussion threads for them :)
