1. An Era of Darkness: The British Empire in India by Shashi Tharoor


10 Popular Books I Want to Read in 2020 | Book Blogger | India | Dhiraj Sindhi
An Era of Darkness by Shashi Tharoor

It's been a few months that I am planning to read Shashi Tharoor books but didn't get to get my hands on any of it. So, my first goal would be to read Shashi Tharoor, and for that, I have selected this one title which I think can be my good first read by Shashi Tharoor.

Inglorious Empire: What the British Did to India (published in India as An Era of Darkness: The British Empire in India) is a historical text by Shashi Tharoor, an Indian politician and diplomat, about the effects of British Colonialism on India.

2. Rebel Sultans: The Deccan from Khilji to Shivaji by Manu S. Pillai



10 Popular Books I Want to Read in 2020 | Book Blogger | India | Dhiraj Sindhi
Rebel Sultans by Manu S. Pillai

Manu S. Pillai is an Indian historian and author known for his debut non-fiction The Ivory Throne: Chronicles of the House of Travancore for which he won the Sahitya Akademi Yuva Puraskar in 2017. This year I listened to his interviews and talks and speeches, I was just amazed by this personality. The knowledge he shared with his audience was perspicacious and I couldn't stop listening to his interviews. He changed my perspective about 'history' and now all I want to do is explore more.

In Rebel SultansManu SPillai narrates the story of the Deccan from the close of the thirteenth century to the dawn of the eighteenth. Packed with riveting tales and compelling characters, this book takes us from the age of Alauddin Khilji to the ascent of Shivaji.

3. The Ministry of Utmost Happiness by Arundhati Roy


10 Popular Books I Want to Read in 2020 | Book Blogger | India | Dhiraj Sindhi
The Ministry of Utmost Happiness by Arundhati Roy

While talking about popular Indian authors, we cannot overlook Suzanna Arundhati Roy, best known for her novel The God of Small Things (1997), which won the Man Booker Prize for Fiction in 1997 and became the biggest-selling book by a non-expatriate Indian author. She is also a political activist involved in human rights and environmental causes.

2019 has been a very different reading year for me, I mostly read review copies and could not read the books which I really wanted to read. One of my friends recommended this book right after he finished reading this book, The Ministry of Utmost Happiness, her second novel published in 2017, twenty years after her debut. Also, I would be reading The God of Small Things, but this is my first pick.

4. Jaya: An Illustrated Retelling of Mahabharata by Devdutt Pattnaik


10 Popular Books I Want to Read in 2020 | Book Blogger | India | Dhiraj Sindhi
Jaya by Devdutt Pattnaik

I have been reading the first few pages of this book whenever I get a chance, in the library or in Crossword stores, but now I want to just dig into it and read the whole book. Jaya is one of the best modern adaptations of Mahabharata and as I said I have already started reading, I wish to continue. Devdutt's retellings are the way to go if you are looking for mythological retellings.

Devdutt Pattanaik is an Indian mythologist, speaker, illustrator and author, known for his prolific writing on sacred lore, legends, folklore, fables and parables, and for challenging wilful misinterpretations of ancient Indian scriptures, stories, symbols and rituals.

5. The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern


10 Popular Books I Want to Read in 2020 | Book Blogger | India | Dhiraj Sindhi
The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern

As you all know by reading the post: Top 10 Favorite Books of 2018Erin Morgenstern and her  The Night Circus has charmed all the readers with the phantasmagorical tale of the two empowered magicians. Now after so long wait of six years, she is back with another (her second) captivating novel. The Starless Sea will be following a character named Zachary Ezra who finds an unusual book in the library in which he encounters his own childhood. Strange right? Intriguing. There is much more in the synopsis. Have a look at the Goodreads page. It is going to be as fantastic as The Night Circus. I am craving more of Erin Morgenstern's 'fairytale in one way or another'.

6. Children of Virtue and Vengeance by Tomi Adeyemi


10 Popular Books I Want to Read in 2020 | Book Blogger | India | Dhiraj Sindhi
Children of Virtue and Vengeance by Tomi Adeyemi

Legacy of Orisha was declared a trilogy by Tomi Adeyemi. The first in the series Children of Blood and Bone was completely successful and made it to #1 on The New York Times Bestsellers List. The story follows the character Zelie Adebola whose mother was killed by a brutal King Saran who rules over the land of Orisha. The second in the trilogy was released late this year on 3rd December. After reading the Children of Blood and Bone, I was waiting for second release desperately because this is the story you cannot wait to explore.

7. The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood


10 Popular Books I Want to Read in 2020 | Book Blogger | India | Dhiraj Sindhi
The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood

The Handmaid's Tale, originally published in 1985, is a dystopian novel written by Canadian author Margaret Atwood. It is set in a near-future New England, in a totalitarian state resembling a theonomy that overthrows the United States government.

Margaret Atwood is such a phenomenal writer, I adore her writing. I recently signed up for her MASTERCLASS and I'm loving it so far and as a pre-requisite, I have to have a sound knowledge about her literary works so that would be my first step towards learning to write from her.

8. All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr


10 Popular Books I Want to Read in 2020 | Book Blogger | India | Dhiraj Sindhi
All The Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr

Among all these non-fiction, fantasy, dystopian novels I wanted to include historical fiction and I could not come up with a better idea than reading this one. All the Light We Cannot See is a war novel written by American author Anthony Doerr, published by Scribner on May 6, 2014. It won the 2015 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction and the 2015 Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Fiction. Set in occupied France during World War II, the novel centers on a blind French girl and a German boy whose paths eventually cross. I'm am really eager to read this book.

9. The Book Thief by Markus Zusak


10 Popular Books I Want to Read in 2020 | Book Blogger | India | Dhiraj Sindhi
The Book Thief by Markus Zusak

This book doesn't need any introduction but here we go. The Book Thief is a historical novel by Australian author Markus Zusak and is his most popular work. Published in 2005, The Book Thief became an international bestseller and was translated into 63 languages and sold 16 million copies. Recently I bought The Bridge of Clay by Markus Zusak during the BookChor sale. But I think it would be really unaesthetic to not read The Book Thief before I read anything from Markus.

Markus Zusak is an Australian writer of German origin. He is best known for The Book Thief and The Messenger (US title: I Am the Messenger), two novels which became international bestsellers. He won the Margaret A. Edwards Award in 2014.

10 Popular Books I Want to Read in 2020 | Book Blogger | India | Dhiraj Sindhi
Becoming by Michelle Obama

I was very excited to read this book when it was launched. I got the audiobook of this and I have already started reading it, few chapters in and I am loving this. No doubt this book is going to be the best book I'll be reading next decade. I hope so.


Becoming is the memoir of former United States first lady Michelle Obama published in 2018. Described by the author as a deeply personal experience, the book talks about her roots and how she found her voice, as well as her time in the White House, her public health campaign, and her role as a mother.

10. Feni Daze by Mathew Vincent Menacherry


Top 10 Best Books of 2019 | Fiction | India | Indian Book Blogger Dhiraj Sindhi
Feni Daze by Mathew Vincent Menacherry (Vanguard Press)

Feni Daze by Mathew Vincent Menacherry is a Crime Thriller which follows the main character Victor Gabriel, an ex-soldier. The story takes place in Goa where he meets his former girlfriend Ana. Although the novel contains all locations from Mumbai, Bangalore, Goa and Amritsar, Punjab. There are four different phases of Victor's life which are narrated throughout the novel. His life at an early age, the Indian Army life, the phase when he met Ana and the current happenings. The writing style, it was really amazing, in a true writer manner. All the senses, elements and aspects a reader seeks were all covered in the book. The author has depicted the struggles of an Indian Army Soldier, the faults of system, politics, how soldiers being crushed between seniors and police commanders, how innocent civilians' lives are filled with terror, the insurgency (Operation Blue Star) and whole lot stuff. It was a really good experience, learning the aspects of such a major historical event.

9. The Chronicle of Golgotha Days by Sujith Balakrishnan



Top 10 Best Books of 2019 | Fiction | India | Indian Book Blogger Dhiraj Sindhi
The Chronicle of Golgotha Days by Sujith Balakrishnan (Frog in Well)


The Chronicle of Golgotha Days is a book that put on a view about inhuman acts and intense cruelty faced by their victims. Yes, this is about sexual offenders/rapists and victims of their brutality, and in this case a sixteen-year-old child Abhaya. The prologue successfully channels the horror of such acts and that it won’t be an easy read for delicate hearts but it will leave you with nothing but strength. This book will open your eyes and call you out to stand with the young victims and their families. Because here’s the thing, because of the current condition of our societies, making it to justice is much more harrowing than the pain victims are already carrying.

8. Bittersweet by Rajesh Konsam


Top 10 Best Books of 2019 | Fiction | India | Indian Book Blogger Dhiraj Sindhi
Bittersweet by Rajesh Konsam (Vishwakarma Publications)

Bittersweet is a piece of art, an art of storytelling through stirring thoughts, authentic dialogues, songs and a creative plot. Apart from that, Bittersweet is a work of contemporary fiction following the protagonist Roshan, who is an artiste with excellent songwriting skills and limited vocal talent. Characters are really strong and dialogues on top of that help connecting us to them at such level that it brings you the same pain as them. I felt every bit of it. At first, I thought of it as an average read but the second part gave characters and the book itself a new life. There is not just the struggle one make as an artiste, they take almost life-changing decisions. I loved how the book is filled with life and reality, especially the second part. The novel is a mixture of bitterness and sweetness of the same amount, no more no less!

7. Narasimha (The Mahaavatar Trilogy #1) by Kevin Missal


Top 10 Best Books of 2019 | Fiction | India | Indian Book Blogger Dhiraj Sindhi
Narasimha by Kevin Missal (HarperCollins India)

Narasimha is first of ‘The Mahaavatar Trilogy’, the reimagining of mythological tale about Lord Narasimha, fourth Avatar of Lord Vishnu. The story takes place in the world of Illavarti, a fictionalized fantastical version of Vedic Age. The conception of this world is just amazing and more realistic. The character arcs are very dynamic, be it Holika or Prahlad. Each supporting character contributes to the storyline. The conception of weapons and the stones that fuels them, like any other modern fiction but is meaningful for the future of story. Romance is the inevitable part of the storyline and gives the very reason for the succeeding plot. The end is satisfying and I am already waiting for the sequel. This book is an epic in the true sense for author has mind-blowingly written providing multi perspective view of ancient epic, makes it more realistic and more stimulating.

6. Tales from Bengal by Sourish Roy


Top 10 Best Books of 2019 | Fiction | India | Indian Book Blogger Dhiraj Sindhi
Tales from Bengal by Sourish Roy (Bigfoot Publications)

Tales from Bengal is a compilation of nine short stories depicting the serious transformation in the lives of villagers of Bengal in the last few decades of the twentieth century. This is the work of fine literature and Sourish Roy has put life in this book. Author narrates these significant stories using profound language and creative writing style. While urbanization brought massive transformation, it wasn’t good for everyone. As the author says, these villagers are still waiting for elevation in their wretched living, which would probably take more time and until then would undergo numerous changes as depicted in the book. I really loved each story and devoured them again and again to re-ingest those feelings of pain and acceptance.

5. Snakes in the Meadows by Ayaz Kohli


Top 10 Best Books of 2019 | Fiction | India | Indian Book Blogger Dhiraj Sindhi
Snakes in the Meadows by Ayaz Kohli (Rupa Publications)

Snakes in the Meadows is a saga of the onset of militancy, the suffering and the resilience of Pir Panjal ─ the ‘and’ of Jammu and Kashmir. The structure and the narration of the book is very well-formed for accumulating all the different stories that revolve around Jammu and Kashmir and more importantly the lives of the residents of Pir Panjal over the span of 25 years. All the tales that Ayaz Kohli has included, directly or indirectly affecting the plot are great and mesmerizing and some as melancholic. The struggles that each character is going through offers a lesson to remember for lifetime. You will learn ‘Freedom is priceless’.

4. A Year of Wednesdays by Sonia Bahl

Top 10 Best Books of 2019 | Fiction | India | Indian Book Blogger Dhiraj Sindhi
A Year of Wednesdays by Sonia Bahl (Fingerprint Publishing)

A Year of Wednesdays is a work of Contemporary-Fiction, written with exceptional brilliancy and I’m not even exaggerating. The book felt more like an impromptu journey than a perfect plotted story. It’s a first-person point of view narration of two strangers connected through their first and only encounter. I found it wittiest that how these characters present their point of view to each other and even in their own minds. It is absolutely brilliant, the author Sonia Bahl enlightens us with insights on the planet & its population, climate change, lefties, a lot of movies and quotes. You get so used to with those impactful and captivating characters that you would not want to leave them because that means giving up those ever-lasting Wednesdays.

3. 23:59:59 - The Journey of Survival in the B-Schools of India by Sadashiv Pradhan


Top 10 Best Books of 2019 | Fiction | India | Indian Book Blogger Dhiraj Sindhi
23:59:59 by Sadashiv Pradhan (BlueRose Publishers)

23:59:59 – The Journey of Survival in the B-Schools of India is a commendable work done by an MBA degree holder, Sadashiv Pradhan. Describing in one sentence, the book depicts the life of B-School students throughout their two years course of MBA, irrespective of whether they are having a specific purpose behind it or not. I liked everything from cover to the end of the book. Those punches of laughter once in a while between the hectic days for characters. The book is truly a journey that gives a current scenario of B-Schools and the struggles of students surviving there. I would recommend it to every student in India whether they are pursuing MBA or not. I think it can be very helpful for students who want to pursue MBA. And to all others, for it will show you how difficult choices can be for a student after graduation.

2. Teddy Bear Chronicles by Donnalyn Vojta


Top 10 Best Books of 2019 | Fiction | India | Indian Book Blogger Dhiraj Sindhi
Hope in Paris! by Donnalyn Vojta (New Traditions Publishing)

Hope in Paris! (First Book) is a suspense thriller book amazingly narrated by three teddy bears. And it is not a story for KIDS. Yes. Talking about narration, it is the best-est part of Hope in Paris! There are three Teddy Bears at different locations who narrates the story, like they can read and listen and have minds that can store the memories. But like any other non-living objects, they can’t move by themselves or smell or eat. Donnalyn Vojta is so intelligent that she took care of this very well, the Teddy Bear learns as they watch and observe. The humor that Teddy Bears added was very entertaining in this suspense thriller. The characters and their backstory that the reader can directly connect to. At first, the story was slow paced but gradually paced faster. It is really charming how the Donnalyn Vojta has carried out good two relationships considering the fact of their being in Paris. Last but not the least the mental disorders factor. And the bully parents issues.



Top 10 Best Books of 2019 | Fiction | India | Indian Book Blogger Dhiraj Sindhi
Chloe's Crusade! by Donnalyn Vojta (New Traditions Publishing)

Chloe’s Crusade! is second in the series, The Teddy Bear Chronicles. As the first book Hope in Paris! was extraordinary, I expected so much from this sequel and guess what! Author has done astounding job writing such an epic suspense thriller. There is more humor, more suspense, more action and more fun! The writing style is as it was in previous one but seems improved with different languages and narration style of newly introduced bear. The characters are powerful with their unique strengths and weaknesses. Opening and ending are as entertaining and thrilling as the whole book is. Now I think that this is one of those underrated books which has to be recognized and deserves all the attention in the world.

1. You Beneath Your Skin by Damyanti Biswas



Top 10 Best Books of 2019 | Fiction | India | Indian Book Blogger Dhiraj Sindhi
You Beneath Your Skin by Damyanti Biswas (Simon & Schuster India)


You Beneath Your Skin is a crime-thriller novel that will keep you to the edge of your seat from first page till the end. The book is the conglomeration of profound characters and enthralling plot. The story is narrated in third person omniscient point of view.  The writing style is just perfect for this tremendously progressive plot, literally it won’t leave you once you start reading this book till end. There is not a single moment that had not made a progress, also expositions are perspicuous yet intense. Apart from Acid Attacks and Autism, this book also shows the lifestyle of underprivileged people and what is the value of their lives. And with that, how privileged people take advantage of them to quench their thirst for wicked pleasures. With politics, the story is wrapped just like how people conceal their foul deeds for the sake of reputation.  I highly highly recommend this book to everyone out there reading this.


Buy You Beneath Your Skin on Amazon: 
https://amzn.to/2p227df


I recommend all these books to you! You won't be disappointed but still, start from #1. LOL. So these were fiction books and soon we'll be back with the non-fiction and poetry honorable mentions.

My Top 10 Most Anticipated Books of 2019


So here are The Top 10 Most Anticipated Books releasing in 2019 which I can't wait to read and I really hope I get to read each one of them despite of my current huge TBR (To Be Read) pile. There is 1 book which will be releasing in 2020 January from one of my favorite authors, so I have counted it also.

I wish that all would prove to be 5 STARS 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 for me. These all are from my favorite NY Times Best Selling authors. Four books from this Top 10 Most Anticipated Books list are sequels to my favorite novels from favorite authors. Three of the remaining six books are first books in the fresh new series from some amazing authors I adore.

The list is sorted by release dates (as per my best knowledge) from March 2019 to January 2020. Let's Dive In.

The second in the trilogy was announced to be released on 7th of March this year but just few days back Tomi Adeyemi re-announced that the book will be releasing late this year on 3rd December. After reading the Children of Blood and Bone, I was waiting for second release desperately because this is the story you cannot wait to explore. But now have to wait longer.

Most Anticipated Books of 2019 List by Dhiraj Sindhi
Again, but Better by Christine Riccio

Christine Riccio is one of my favorite Booktubers, she makes awesome bookish content and about writing too. Again, but Better is the story about giving yourself a second chance and being brave enough to try again. I read the synopsis on Goodreads and Shane is already making me curious. The story is about Shane, a college student living same monotonous life. now, she needs change and signs up for a semester abroad in London. Then she faces the problems with 'being outside her comfort zone' but she finds out that with right amount of courage and determination one can tackle anything. This is going to be magical and I can't wait to read it. As of now, many are facing the same fear of being outside the bubble. Be it a magic or self-confidence, we have to arm ourselves with such power that can conquer your fears. Love from India, Christine Riccio! Again, but Better will be launched on 7th May.

Victoria Schwab is American fantasy author best known for her Vicious and the Shades of Magic series. I've seen many booktubers recommending her books for so long and she has been favorite author for many of them. Tunnel of Bones is the sequel of her City of Ghosts, which follows the character named Cassidy. Cassidy can see ghosts and then she finds Lara who also can see dead. Lara tells her that as In-betweener, their job is to send ghosts permanently beyond the veil. Well that is the story of the first book City of Ghosts which was set in Edinburgh, Scotland. Now it sets in Paris where her parents are shooting a new TV show about most haunted cities in the world as before. She is with her ghost friend Jacob (of course) and again some spirit is haunting the city. As the first in the series did charms on us, I would love to discover the haunted Paris.

Starsight by Brandon Sanderson


Brandon Sanderson is American fantasy and science fiction writer best known for his Cosmere Universe, in which his most of the fantasy novels are set. He is also known for finishing Robert Jordan's epic fantasy series The Wheel of Time. The series follows a great, powerful, strong, funny  character, protagonist, Spensa. I've heard alot about her in last few months from readers who read Skyward, the first book in the series. She longs to be pilot but for some reason her last name wouldn't allow her to be one. when she discovered M-Bot, an AI driven ancient ship, she realizes that her dream might be possible. The Skyward ended with such a climax and directs to the second book. This is going to be more of Spensa and more flying and fighting in planes. The release of Starsight is planned on 29th Oct.

However, i couldn't read it but I learned a lot about the world she has created which is known as Grishaverse. Leigh Bardugo is known for her Grisha Trilogy and Six of Crows Duology. These all books are set in the Grishaverse. I am in love already, how booktubers are talking about it. Whoa! I hope this  year I get to read it all.

Now after so long wait of six years, she is back with another (her second) captivating novel. The Starless Sea will be following a character named Zachary Ezra who finds an unusual book in the library in which he encounters his own childhood. Strange right? Intriguing. There is much more in the synopsis.Have a look at the Goodreads page. It is going to be as fantastic as The Night Circus. I am craving more of Erin Morgenstern's 'fairytale in one way or another'. We love you so much. The Starless Sea will be released on 5th November.

3. Wayward Son by Rainbow Rowell (Simon Snow #2)

Wayward Son by Rainbow Rowell


I am f*ing excited to know what happens with Simon and Baz. The first book Carry On was so fun, comic, romantic and MAGICKAL. The characters, their bond of friendship and relationship, the magic, the vampire, the locks of hair (one of my favorites). I just loved it. I don't wanna spoil but the ending was a bit sad. I can't wait to see how they are getting along while they've lost the connection which brought them together. Would they be able to Carry On? FYI, I just love'em. Wayward Son was to be released next year but Rainbow Rowell preponed it to 7th Nov. this year. Hurray!

Chain of Gold by Cassandra Clare

I've already said but again, Cassandra Clare is awesome. Her Shadowhunter Chronicles are most famous like she has won so many awards for this and now she is back with another Shadowhunters Trilogy and Chain of Gold is first in the series where evil hides in plain sight and the only thing more dangerous than fighting demons is falling in love. In Cassie style, this is going to be great and look at the cover! It is out already and so Shadowhunter vibes. Chain of Gold is expected to get released on 19th Nov.

1. Infinity Son by Adam Silvera (Specters #1)


Most Anticipated Books of 2019 List by Dhiraj Sindhi
Infinity Son by Adam Silvera

Adam Silvera. I am his huge huge fan. No kidding, he's awesome. I just love him (*blushing*). Adam Silvera is New York Times bestselling author of They Both Die at the End, More Happy Than Not and History Is All You Left Me. And What If It's Us co-written with Becky Albertelli (Author of Simon vs. Homosapiens Agenda) was fabulous. He is tall for no reason and lives in New York City. He always talks about fan-fictions and fantasy characters of Harry Potter and more. Finally he has come with fantasy series called Specters. Infinity Son is the first in series. Adam said that there will be PHOENIXES. Whoa sold!! And it is not arriving sooner than January 2020.
