Hello invisible readers,
So welcome to another edition of #FridayReads! I didn't publish any reviews or special content this week but I read quite a bit (yaaaay!)
I bought and finished What do Women Want?: Adventures in the Science of Female Desire by Daniel Bergner. You can expect a book review soon. I actually enjoyed it despite some of the bad reviews out there.
I also finished Silver Linings Playbook, the movie. You can expect yet another book review.
Finally, I started Americanah by Chimamanda Adichie, which is supposed to explore the identification issues faced by Africans in the Diaspora, like myself. I had previously read Half of a Yellow Sun -- an excellent, moving and compelling novel on the Biafran War.
The great thing about this blog is that I can write at my own pace. Therefore, though I really want to put out all these book reviews, it may take me some time to type them out. But yes, there will be four upcoming reviews and that is very exciting stuff.
Also, I wanted to mention that some people in real life recommended me some mangas and graphic novels to read. They will be on my TBR list which is ever expanding.
That's it from me xox, S.
Oh hi, my not-so invisible readers.
It is time for another Friday Reads--my weekly post on books that I have been reading and plan to read.
On Tuesday I finished the Silver Linings Playbook by Matthew Quick, a book that I would recommend to everyone. If you want a more in-depth review, check out this post.
I have also started my themed read for the months of July and August, which is Magazines and Quarterlies. You can check out my reasoning behind this themed read and which magazines made the cut in this blog post.
Otherwise, I haven't had the time to read anything else. For the upcoming week, I am planning on either reading my themed reads or on finishing Dracula by Bram Stoker. In other good news, I bought Life of Pi by Yann Martel which I shall be finishing up eventually. (Preferably before the next two weeks, because then I can return it. Money don't grow on trees!)
I am definitely going to make a book to movie review on the Silver Linings Playbook this upcoming week, which I am excited about.
I know this week is special for my Muslim brothers and sisters-- Ramadan Kareem!
That's it from me.
xox, S.
