Fatima Sana Shaikh, known for her candid Instagram stories, is once again captivating book lovers with her latest literary updates. Recently, the actress shared her experience finishing The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman, describing it as “a light, clever, and funny murder mystery” that kept her on edge until the final pages. “Didn’t guess the killer till the last page! Loved it,” she revealed to her followers.
Shaikh, who has often expressed her love for diverse genres, paired her reading of The Thursday Murder Club with the much more somber Maus by Art Spiegelman. She shared her emotional response, writing, “This one stays with you for a while… the Holocaust is traumatic and heartbreaking.” The juxtaposition of these two vastly different books reflects Shaikh’s wide-ranging reading tastes, moving from a whimsical crime story to a powerful graphic novel that explores the horrors of history.
Now, with two books of contrasting tones behind her, Shaikh is reaching out to her followers for assistance in selecting her next read. Her choices are equally diverse: Yuval Noah Harari’s Nexus, a thought-provoking exploration of the future, or Quentin Tarantino’s Cinema Speculation, a collection of essays on film. “Hum confused hai. Madad karo,” Shaikh humorously captioned her post, encapsulating the relatable dilemma faced by many book lovers when choosing their next literary adventure.
Shaikh’s Bookstack Diaries not only showcase her literary journey but also create a space for interaction with her fans, allowing them to influence her reading choices. With a mix of humor, depth, and genuine curiosity, Shaikh continues to connect with her audience through the shared joy of reading.
