A Review on 2017
Some of the books that I have read in 2018. The year 2018 seems very promising. A lot of changes will happen in my life for this year. Iāll be moving by September, Iāll probably be quitting my job by the end of the year and taking on a new job that Iāve been wanting to do for years, Iāll be travellingā¦Iām very excited for all this to happen! But I am also very thankful for 2017. One of the thingsā¦

Bookworm goals for 2018
Yes, this blog is named A Book A Week but ever since I started this blog, Iāve had a VERY hard time in finishing a book in one week! It sometimes took two weeks for me to finish a book and worse, three! Therefore for 2018, bearing in mind the experience of these past months with regards to reading, I will therefore extend my time limit. For 2018, I will be finishing TWO BOOKS PER MONTH. I will beā¦

A short story on short stories and a review on Snowdrift by Georgette Heyer
After Christmas, I have finished reading Snowdrift and Other Short Stories by Georgette Heyer. It was my first encounter with this writer and it has been a pleasant discovery! If youāre a Jane Austen fan, you would like Georgette Heyer. Her writing is set in the regency period, a lot of romance, a bit of intrigue and some twists. Letās say, Jane Austenās style in a pill (a reduced pill with justā¦

Frankenstein
Ā Yes, I know itās so clichĆ© to have picked this book during the Halloween festivities scrolling on bookstagram posts during the month of October has given me the desire to read Frankenstein. Besides, Iāve thought of reading it a few months back so I guess itās just perfect timing! Iāve discovered why this book by Mary Shelley is a timeless classic. Itās just a beautiful story! Impeccably writtenā¦

The Monogram Murders
It has been quite a week so I am late in finishing The Monogram Murders by Sophie Hannah. Nonetheless, it has been a pleasure reading it. Sophie Hannah has resurrected the magnanimous Hercule Poirot in her mystery novels. Quite successfully in my opinion. Though her books do not show the prowess of Agatha Christie in timing and suspense, Hannah comes close in wit and intricacy to Christieāsā¦

Eligible
If youāve read Jane Austenās Pride and Prejudice, you really donāt need to read the synopsis for Eligible by Curtis Sittenfeld. Set on modern day Cincinnati, the long beloved characters of Austenās most celebrated book comes to life in our era facing what could be the challenges equivalent to what they were facing in the time that they were set in the Pride and Prejudice story. I got Eligible inā¦

My Grandmother Sends her Regards and Apologises
A fictional novel by Fredrik Backman, My Grandmother Sends her Regards and Apologises is a beautiful book narrated by a child who talks about her adventure and discovery of the life around her after her grandmotherās death. Iāve gone beyond my time limit which is one week with this book but it was really worth reading it from cover to cover. At first, it was difficult for me to really get into itā¦

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child
Harry Potter and the CursedĀ Child
Originally published on Instagram: I finished Harry Potter and the Cursed Child last night. Itās a good book in a sense that it made me want to continue reading (sort of) but I wasnāt really satisfied. Iām a Harry Potter fan. I remember when the Harry Potter books came out when I was in primary school (I think) and I would continue reading the books under the covers with a flashlight way past myā¦

You Are Europe Posted 2 weeks ago on Tumblr: Finished the āYou Are Europeā by Barack Obama. It was motivating but not as strong.
The Good Immigrant Posted on Tumblr three weeks ago: Iāve enjoyed this book. It was very enlightening. Sometimes frustrating because I get to discover even more, so many injustices.
Vacation reads
The books Iāve read during my 3-week vacation. Clockwise: Closed Casket by Sophie Hannah ā If youāre an Agatha ChristieĀ fan, you might get a bit disappointed. Itās not very close to the style of Hercule Poirotās creator but itās a good detective novel. Quite entertaining. šš PoĆØtes franƧais des XIXe et XXe siĆØcles ā French poetry was a beautiful discovery for me. I especially loved the poems ofā¦

A book a week challenge
A book a weekĀ challenge
Iāve realized that when in your 30ā²s, gaining knowledge and to strive to be culturally honed is an individual and personal affair. Youāre at that age where thereās no parent to push you to hone your talents and shape your taste like learning ballet or playing the piano. Gone is the teacher who helps you fill your brain with many interesting or even uninteresting things. It dawned to me that if Iā¦

Trinity College Library, Dublin (by Anne Donovan).
Finished the "You Are Europe" by Barack Obama. It was motivating but not as strong. It really is a speech. I imagine that it was way better when one hears the actual speech. Now onto the next! Book #5, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child! Yaaaay!!! I've been waiting for this! By the way, I'm way ahead of time. It's just Thursday and I didn't have to start another book until Monday but I just couldn't wait! Excited for this new read š
home from class so
Grrr...now I'm craving for donuts!
