Hiya folks!!!!!

Welcome back! First off, I would like to thank you, my lovely readers for your support. It made me even more excited to make the update. And sorry for the delay in my update, things got kind of hectic. I promise I will try to be punctual. So lets dive in!

Last week was about different books, genres and my reading journey. This week would be about different books and authors in different genres. Since fiction was a preference in the comments, today we will see about fiction. Personally fictions are my preference too!

Science Fiction

Honestly the only sci-fi novels I have read are the Dan Brown books (6 books), Hunger Games (3 books) and Divergent Series (3 books) each written by Dan Brown, Sussan Collins and Veronica Roth respectively. While the former is pure sci-fi with thriller the later two are also dystopian which means the plot is set on a realistic but imagined state or society, which I reckon gives them a different edge. Dan Brown writes all his novels based on institutions and facilities that are really present and builds the plots around them in a realistic way. His plots happen within a time frame of 2 or 3 days with a prologue that happens some months earlier that builds up to the plot which makes it fast paced and thrilling. The later two are quite similar to each other but with different plots. I may write a blog reviewing these books.

Fantasy

When one hears fantasy, the first book that comes to mind would be “Harry Potter series” and the first author, of course J.K. Rowling. But even before I read Harry Potter, I started my first fantasy novel journey (which was not children’s fantasy… LOL) with the “Percy Jackson Series” PJO by Rick Riorden which was based on Greek mythology. And he didn’t stop at that, rather he came up with a spin off “Heroes of Olympus” HOO a combo  of Greek and Roman mythology. He also wrote another series “Kane Chronicles” KC based on Egyptian Mythology. Again he didn’t stop, he wrote more spin offs, crossover one shots, etc. Once you enter the fandom, its hard to leave, Uncle Rick binds you! I introduced one of my friends(he writes the blog Gamers Arena in this same account, do check it out), to PJO and he too got hooked. He is reading the KC series now. 

Midway when I was reading Uncle Rick’s books, I started reading Harry Potter. Trust me, I was sceptical of it before I started. Many of my friends were Potter Heads (Harry Potter fans) and they would be spewing spells all day long. But when started reading…well I became one of them, a potter head.

 

And for kids, Enid Blyton is awesome. She writes adventures too but, her fantasy stories for children are really good with morals that spin around fairies, goblins, pixies and more! Surely, kids would love it.

Crime Novels

I have read only Agatha Christie, and my friend(the Gamer Arena guy :D) suggested me Sherlock Holms by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle which I haven’t read yet. For me Agatha Christie was really amazing. I fell in love with the first book that I read of hers, “Murder in Mesopotamia”. The way she builds her plot, with all the mystery, clues and twists is really amazing. For anyone who loves crime novels, I really would suggest Agatha Christie.

That’s it for today folks! Until next week delve into the magical realms of reading and stay tuned for the next update.

See Ya!!!
