Here is another book quote from my new debut novel, Universe of Light: The Ethereal Realm, which is a available to purchase now. The links are in the bio.

Darkness. Something that is often depicted as wrong and scary. Told to suppress, hide and run far away from. However darkness is the one thing that allows us to embrace the light. Just like the shadow can't be seen without the light, darkness holds just as much importance as the light.

Darkness pushes us to grow, learn, go beyond the limit we put on ourselves. The darkness unveils the blindness the light can bring.

I hope you embrace the darkness as much as the light. As a life without darkness, really does not carry much meaning.

My book is an introspective fantasy that talks about how light and dark should coexist together. If you are intrigued by this then follow along for more art and book anecdotes.

Book review of Haruki Murakamis' Norwegian Wood. -Supriya, intern at @just.lemmebe I plugged in my headphone and chose a playlist to sink into as I worked. Songs of The Beatles started moving from my head to my heart, through the passageway of my ears. As I reached the song Norwegian wood, I was transported into the land of Murakami. It was this song that had inspired him to title the book so. Toru Watanabe, the protagonist, is about my age, ripening from his teens to twenties. He narrates the story, and it revolves around him, Naoko, and Midori, all of whom are deeply broken individuals stitched together by a some or the other shared grief. Their stories revolve around love and loss, and how it permanently scars and changes people, sometimes to a degree that they become irredeemable. Murakamis style of writing is other wordly. His writing makes you lose sense of time; you suddenly realize you are 100 pages down and the last time you looked up it was day, but now the sun has set. The book was published in 1980s and has some significant problematic aspects as well. The characters are enforced with gender stereotypes. Toru (and other males charaters), has, wants, and gets to experience more physical intimacy (and from many) than all the female charaters combined. There are also unnecessary sexual plots, that does nothing to lead the story further, but only reminds you that it is being narrated by a 19 year old boy whose world view, despite going through a lot, is shabby. Whether that is a deliberate choice by Murakami or not, I don't know. Despite all that I found flawed in the book, the way loss, grief, pain and death is portrayed in the life of seemingly insignificant young adults will pull your life resonating into the story here and there. In the times when you have no one listening to you, the book will. . . . #norwegianwood #murakami #harukimurakami #booksbooksbooks #bookrecommendations #booksthatinspire #bookstagram #bookreview #booksbooksbooks #booksaboutwomen #murakamiharuki #writersofinstagram #author #japan #bookslover #booklover #booklovers #booklove #5stagesofgrief https://www.instagram.com/p/CVF2Wcsh9c-/?utm_medium=tumblr

Book review of Leigh Bardugo's Six Of Crows. -By Supriya, intern at @just.lemmebe This book was my father's gift to me on my 21st birthday. It had been recommended to me numerous times before as well. This book takes you around the story of six outcasts, with all except one, having a history of crime, who team up to perform a heist. Although the very reason they do it is either the money and/or their freedom, they are all trying to fix their lives and make them better. The heist's target is to rescue a scientist from the ice courts prison who has all the required knowledge behind Jurda Parem. This drug could make a Grisha all-powerful but also destroy them in the process. However, none of these people were criminally inclined. Their twisted fates and tragic childhoods landed them here, and they all wish to undo it to some extent or another. As Helvar thinks, "They are all survivors. They adapt." People are not born imbeciles or criminal-minded; grief, trauma, and tragedy often swirls the morally correct to give up everything and walk into the darkness just to survive. Kaz, aka Dirtyhands, leads the heist. The team has Inej or Wraith, the spider; Wylan, the demolition expert; Nina, the Grisha soldier; Matthias Helvar, a prisoned druskelle; and Jesper, the sharpshooter. They are all teenagers, the oldest being eighteen. The further you read through the book, the more you sympathize with every character. This book might be set in an imaginary land, and the characters might seem to possess some magical powers, but their stories will hit close to home. At the end of the day, they were just like us before their tragedies swept them up and threw them into places they never wanted to be in. It turned them into beings they promised themselves they would not become. . . . #book #booklover #booksbooksbooks #booklovers #bookreview #bookrecommendations #booksthatinspire #booksaboutwomen #sixofcrows #leighbardugo #leighbardugobooks #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookstack #authorsofinstagram #writers #writerscommunity https://www.instagram.com/p/CVX3b50MI7G/?utm_medium=tumblr
