A visit to one of my favourite bookshops was due. Especially one where time was not a big constraint. I got it yesterday. And well. Not 1 or 2, but I picked Three Books. All are captured in the image shown. At the centre is Jeffrey Archer's "Not a Penny More, Not a Penny Less". I have read his works like The Eleventh Commandment (Thou Shalt not be Caught), "The Grass is always Greener" and a few more, I am trying out one of his works after a long time. Pretty excited. On the right, we have Scholastic Publications "The Grandest Book Shop in the World" by Amelia Mellor. Primarily I would like the kids to have a go at it first. Yet, we elders can also give a try! Has any of you read it ( And please no Spoiler alerts !! ) Third book is a non-fiction. I don't normally buy Non-fiction, except for a couple I read about Sports. The book is "Multibagger Stocks" by Prasenjit Paul. I don't have much idea about either the book or the author. So the best part is that ot would be an unbiased read !! What's up in your (supposed) World of Book Reading?

@RebeccasFarm Actually those are "Figurative" headaches although my recent cough and cold infection did cause me real headaches as well.

@JESSY3236 So that must belong to the "Fantasy" genre I suppose?

I've never read a book by Jeffrey Archer. I like reading Sci-Fi books, but I also like crime and mystery novels. I've just started reading a book called The Devouring Gray by Christine Lynn Herman which is kind of a mystery/horror. I've only read one chapter so far.
