I also realize that my #2003ReadingList jumps from book number 5 to book number 7. I forgot to update number 6 when I finished reading it a couple of weeks ago. Will do it later today.

I picked up book 7 of the #2003ReadingList on a whim to satisfy this month's "colours" theme in @poongabook.

The Queen Of Jasmine Country by Sharanya Manivannan.

I was pleasantly surprised by the writing and I really liked the book. TBH, I was moved when reading the part where Andal writes the first Thiruppaavai. I especially liked how the author ended the book. Respecting the myth, but making it her—and Andal's— own.

Highly recommended.

Book 5 of the #2003ReadingList was an #EasyReading / #EasyListening #audiobook #thriller that I picked up for the #Pongal holiday weekend because I saw a teaser/trailer in Amazon Prime TV show few months ago and realized it was based on a book.

The Terminal List by Jack Carr narrated by Ray Porter.

It was ok. Not bad, but not great either. Typical Tom Clancy, Vince Flynn kind of stuff. I'm not a big fan. I don't think I'll go back for more of this series.
