 I. Bibliographic Details Author’s Name: David Baldacci  Title of the Book: Mercy  Publisher: Grand Central Publishing Year of Publication: 2021  Genre: Fiction (Thriller/Mystery)  Number of Pages: 416 pages II. Introduction “Mercy” is the high-stakes, long-awaited conclusion to David Baldacci’s Atlee Pine quartet.

A Thorny Path Through First Semester

  Hello there, my name is Nikhil Tharun Ilayaraja and this is my blog. This isn’t going to be something motivational or entertaining. Just me yapping about of my life. So let’s get started   I'm not much of a social person. I prefer to be in my own little sphere, an introvert as one might say but I don't particularly hate being around people as long as they don't hate me being around them. Crowds aren't my thing so going outside is a pain to me. Therefore going into a new environment was making me really scared thinking that now I’d have to start new relations and speak to people I'm not much of a talkative person.
