3 Days with a Nurse in the middle of a Pandemic | The Pull of the Stars by Emma Donoghue It's a weird yet a familiar feeling to be reading and learning about a life of a community worker in Dublin, 1918, in the middle of war when the current world is facing a Pandemic as well. I'd recommend to read The Pull of the Stars atleast once in a lifetime for it moves you & changes your perspective on things. Given the recent attacks on doctors due to Covid panic, this book would work well to make you empathize with their situation. (Complete Review is up on the blog + A Reading Vlog for the same is up on YouTube too) [link in bio for both] Tysm @panmacmillanindia for the copy💜 . . . . #diversebooks #unitedbookstagram #thepullofthestars #irish #irishbooks #worldwar2 #worldwar1 # #bookstagram #books #bookworm #book #bookish #reading #booklover #bibliophile #booknerd #bookaddict #bookstagrammer #igreads #bookshelf #bookaholic #love #bookclub #booklove #reader #bookphotography #instabook #bookblogger #readersofinstagram #instabooks (at Mumbai, Maharashtra) https://www.instagram.com/p/CP5fq1Grwrk/?utm_medium=tumblr

"Most of the cut-up sausage was still on her plate, but the whole one was gone. Could Delia Garrett have knelt on the vacant cot and stolen food off her neighbour’s plate? Avoiding my eyes, the younger woman wore a faint smirk. Well, one sausage—whatever it was made of these days—wouldn’t kill her, and Ita Noonan didn’t seem to want it." ~ #thepullofthestars #emmadonoghue #audiobook #librofm #foodinbooks #sausage https://www.instagram.com/p/CFZkymfq2hZ/?igshid=1rfovxul0t153

"I didn't want to stay without anyone to talk to, so I collected some watery cocoa and a slice of war bread, which was always dark but varied in its adulterations—barley, oats, and rye, certainly, but one might find soya in there too, beans, sago, even the odd chip of wood." ~ I got this #ALC from @librofm back in July and I'm so glad I finally got a chance to listen to it.
