Say Something,

A Great Big World.

I’m not sure if its the right thing to do. I know its too soon and too late. I’m giving up. I wish I could be the one for you, but if you’re happy without me, so be it.

QOTD: Who is your auto-buy author? . . . . Americanah is the only novel of Adichie's that I have read, but I simply LOVE her. My favourite thing about her speeches and writings is how honest they are. Although Americanah is set in Nigeria, I could see my own country, my own people in that narrative. . . . I really should take some photos for bookstagram because I'm running out of the ones I had in stock 😅 I'll do it once I have some time to breathe. . . . . . . . . . . . #booklover #bookaholic #fortheloveofreading #books #yabookstagram #yabooks #literature #hygge #cozyfeeling #bookstagram #bookstafeatures #likeforlike #like4like #bookstagramflatlay #booksbooksbooks #bookworm #igreads #igbooks #yalit #bookaesthetic #bookcommunity #ireadya #booknerd #bookgram #booklove #americanah #chimamandangoziadichie

If We Were Villains is one of the few books I read this summer. My favourite thing about it - the abundance of Shakespeare quotes. The setting is a theatre school where all that the students perform are Shakespeare plays. The book can possibly be classified as a dark academia thriller, with a bunch of intensely passionate theatre students as the suspects for a gory crime. While the thriller aspect did not impress me much, I would recommend this book sheerly because it gave me so much joy to look at my favourite plays being referred to and reading extensive quotes from the ones I haven't actually read yet. I also love the way the plot explores the nature of tragedy and uses Shakespeare to do the same. I'd love it if the readings of Shakespeare were less simplistic, but that's what happens when you read academic articles but also young adult novels lol. ⭐⭐⭐⭐/5 stars. . . . . . QOTD: Recommend a book from your favourite genre. . . . . . . . . . #booklover #bookaholic #fortheloveofreading #books #yabookstagram #yabooks #literature #hygge #cozyfeeling #bookstagram #bookstafeatures #likeforlike #like4like #bookstagramflatlay #booksbooksbooks #bookworm #igreads #igbooks #yalit #bookaesthetic #bookcommunity #ireadya #booknerd #bookgram #booklove #ifwewerevillains #blackandwhite

Is this a comeback? I don't know. Kundera has taught me to scorn certainties any way. Throwback to fun times when we unofficially had this book our syllabus. Here's a quote from it to show why I love Kundera and recommend The Unbearable Lightness of Being to everyone: . . "What is vertigo? Fear of falling? No, Vertigo is something other than fear of falling. It is the voice of the emptiness below us which tempts and lures us, it is the desire to fall, against which, terrified, we defend ourselves.”. . . QOTD: What's your current read? One of my current reads has been The Ministry of Utmost Happiness. I love it, but I feel like I'm reading it way too slowly . . . . . . . . . #booklover #bookaholic #fortheloveofreading #books #yabookstagram #yabooks #literature #hygge #cozyfeeling #bookstagram #bookstafeatures #likeforlike #like4like #bookstagramflatlay #booksbooksbooks #bookworm #igreads #igbooks #yalit #bookaesthetic #bookcommunity #ireadya #booknerd #bookgram #booklove #milankundera #theunbearablelightnessofbeing

Now that summer break might draw to an abrupt close, out of nowhere, I am glad I wasted the last month lazing about and watching silly k dramas. I didn't even read much, and I am very much lagging behind in my Goodreads challenge. And yet, I can't make myself feel regretful, not even a little bit. . . Sorry for the little rant that nobody asked for 🤣. . . . QOTD: Tell me your thoughts on your current read, or your last five-star read. . . . . . . . . . . . . #bookstagramindia #bookishrainbow #fantasy #bookishallure #booklover #bookaholic #fortheloveofreading #books #rainbow #indianbookstagram #literature #hygge #cozyfeeling #bookstagram #bookstafeatures #likeforlike #like4like #bookstagramflatlay #booksbooksbooks #bookworm #igreads #igbooks #indian #bookaesthetic #bookcommunity #ireadya #booknerd #bookgram #booklove

Thank you to all those who responded to my story where I asked for future recommendation post ideas! I'll post another one today, and would love it if the rest of you dropped by with your suggestions! . Today's recommendation post will be about YA fantasy (thanks @mappedfiction for the suggestion!). I'm a little out of touch with that section of fantasy, but there was a time when I read a LOT of these books, and I still occasionally read them. So here are some of the young adult fantasy novels/series that I loved. (I have done one with all fantasy novels in general if you want to check that out ❤️). . →The Raven Boys - Maggie Stiefvater: Fairly popular but I still want to mention it. Beautifully written, and so very different from the usual ya fantasy books that we all tire of after a point. . →The Winner's Trilogy - Marie Rutkoski: This is for those who like a sprinkle of romance in YA fantasy novels. The world-building was also pretty solid, and I thought the whole thing was very concisely and intelligently crafted. . →Sky in the Deep - Adrienne Young: This one has a slightly cliché movement (plot-wise) but I LOVED the Viking atmosphere and the battles. . →Air Awakens - Elise Kova: The series grew stronger with every book, and I loved reading it. It almost has a new-adult vibe, and the plot was memorable, which is really appreciable when it comes to YA, tbh. . →The Bird and the Sword - Amy Harmon: This is also somewhat new adult-ish, but it's also sometimes considered YA. Harmon's writing is always beautiful, and this story was essentially enchanting. Books I haven't read but heard a lot about: →Nevernight →A Darker Shade of Magic →Uprooted . Q O T D: If you read YA, add in your recs, and if you don't, tell me about a book you recommend to everyone who asks for recs from you ❤️❤️ . . . . . . . . . . #bookstagramindia #nature #theravenboys #fantasy #bookishallure #booklover #bookaholic #fortheloveofreading #books #yabookstagram #yabooks #literature #hygge #cozyfeeling #bookstagram #bookstafeatures #likeforlike #like4like #bookstagramflatlay #booksbooksbooks #bookworm #igreads #igbooks #yalit #bookaesthetic #bookcommunity #ireadya #booknerd #bookgram #booklove
