If you are up for an unknown and exciting adventure then this book is ideal for you. As it will take you on a roller coaster ride that will make you understand important learning — Destination is not the endpoint, it’s the journey that matters.

3. Power of Subconscious Mind — Joseph Murphy

Power of subconscious mind

‘The power of your Subconscious Mind’ will open a new world of success, happiness, prosperity, and peace for you.

Dr. Joseph Murphy explains that life events are actually the result of the workings of your conscious and subconscious minds.

4. The brief wondrous life of oscar Wao — Junot Diaz

The brief wondrous life of oscar Wao

Things have never been easy for Oscar, a sweet but disastrously overweight, lovesick Dominican ghetto nerd. From his home in New Jersey, where he lives with his old-world mother and rebellious sister, Oscar dreams of becoming the Dominican J. R. R. Tolkien and, most of all, of finding love. But he may never get what he wants, thanks to the curse that has haunted his family for generations.

Diaz immerses us in the tumultuous life of Oscar and the history of the family at large, rendering with genuine warmth and dazzling energy, humor, and insight the Dominican-American experience. And, ultimately, the endless human capacity to persevere in the face of heartbreak and loss.

5. The Great Indian Novel — Shashi Tharoor

The Great Indian Novel

The Great Indian Novel beautifully bled two different aspects from different time zones. Shashi Tharoor has masterfully recast the two-thousand-year-old epic “The Mahabharata” with fictionalized – but highly recognizable – events and characters from twentieth-century Indian politics.

A perfect blend of history and myth to chronicle the Indian struggle for freedom and independence. Tharoor directs his hilarious and often outrageous satire as much against Indian foibles and failings as against the bumblings of the British rulers. Shashi Tharoor’s work can be enjoyed by readers unfamiliar with Indian history.

6. The good girl’s guide to getting lost — Rachel Friedman

The good girl’s guide to getting lost

Rachel Friedman has always been the proficient girl who does well in school and plays it safe. The college graduation surprises no one more than herself where she chooses to escape the situation by buying a ticket to Ireland and starts an unexpected journey.

Rachel discovers and embraces her love for travel and unlocks more truths about herself than she ever realized she was seeking. Along the way, the erstwhile good girl finally learns to do something she’s never done before: ‘Simply live for the moment’.

7. 5 Second Rule — Mel Robbin

5 Second Rule

If you are also procrastinating and all your work is getting piled up?

Then this book is especially for minds like you. According to Mel Robbin whatever you decide to do if you pick it up in 5 sec then you can complete it otherwise the probability of dropping that work goes up to 90%.

This trick is scientifically tested and works all the time. No matter how badly you want to throw your work into the pit but if you start it in 5 sec within a blink you will complete it too.
5-sec rule is a must-read that will surely bring a positive change in your day to day life.

8. The diary of a young girl — Anne Frank

The diary of a young girl

We all are travelers in our journey of Life where the most amazing thing one can experience is the uncertainty of life. similarly, the diary of a young girl is a real-life story of Anne Frank.

This book will take you back in the World War II era, where the family of a young girl is going through a crisis. Anne falls in love, feels distant from her family like every teen does in growing age. The book will altogether take you through a bittersweet emotional ride.

9. A suitable boy — Vikram Seth

A suitable boy

Vikram Seth’s novel is, at its core, a love story: Lata and her mother, Mrs. Rupa Mehra, are both trying to find—through love or through exacting maternal appraisal—a suitable boy for Lata to marry.

This book takes the reader into the richly imagined world of four large extended families, spinning off a compulsively readable tale of their lives and love. This is the story of ordinary people caught up in a web of love and ambition, humor and sadness, prejudice and reconciliation. The most delicate social etiquette and the most appalling violence. One of the recommendations for those who like Rom-Com thriller.

10. To kill a Mockingbird — Harper Lee

To kill a Mockingbird

It’s classic literature by Lee. In this book, Lee has explained racism, cast, discrimination and all social issues which curbed in the ’60s in a very subtle way.
