#BloomsburyAwardWinning Readathon I am super pumped to read all these exciting books for the month long readathon starting from 15th October to 15th November organised by @bloomsburyindia . Homefire and Sing Unburied Sing are the two books I finished earlier this year and last year respectively and I can vouch for their extraordinary traits. I have currently started with Lincoln in the Bardo and boy oh boy, is it intriguing me? Question : Have you read any from the above stack? Do you want to read any of them? #Trackmypost
I have been reading some amazing books and wanted to share them with you one at a time. Question : What have you been reading recently? You can find the entire review up on my blog. Link in bio. #theliquidsunsetreads A book like this can cloud your heart with the darkness that is seeping through its pages and engulf you in a shroud. Anita Nair’s brilliant piece of work, Eating Wasps is a book dedicated to finding the missing links in our lives that have been taken apart due to the weight of the inevitability of tragedy. Eating Wasps, the title is an apt description of how one feels after reading this book. Like tiny wasps that end up in our mouth accidentally, Nair’s book talks about how accidental choices can leave us bitter and traumatized yet somehow we need to keep moving forward. The story starts with the death of Sreelakshmi, an esteemed writer, who has been given the accolade of being Kerala’s Virginia Woolf. Her relationship with Marcose goes downhill and we see glimpses of what it was like and how she drove herself to death. It is through Sreelakshmi’s ghost that we travel through the lives of various women and younger girls and how anomalies in their lives decide their path. These and many other women in the book are prime examples of how patriarchy demolishes the feminine spirit and tries to replace it with a toxic domination. What stands out for me in the book is Anita Nair’s writing. She is a conjurer, weaving magic through her words and making the reading experience a beauty altogether. Her writing style is the reason why I felt like I was with the women when their worlds were crashing down. Nair is a brilliant author, no doubt and this book doesn’t fall short in proving that. Nevertheless, if you are looking for great books on feminism written by Indian authors in the contemporary times then Eating Wasps would be a perfect choice. #trackmypost
That's me stealing time to read in between workload. Other people check their phones and talk with their colleagues, not me. I bring out the current book I am reading from my bag and read. Do you read at public places? Also introducing to you all this fun and light book I am reading right now called Tides Don't Cross by Simar Malhotra. This one comes as a welcome relief in between all the intense reading I was doing for @thejcbprize shortlist. The whole review will be up on my blog by the end of the day. 😊 Suggest some of your favourite light reads below. #calcutta #kolkata #weekendreadingwithsonam
