WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF WORDS

03/11/2024

Anna Akhmatova was possibly one of the most significant Russian poets from the 20th century, with works representing a "bourgeois aesthetic" and ranged from short lyrical poems to intricately structured cycles.

Regarded as her masterpiece, 'Requiem' was about Stalinist terrorism, and despite all the plights and threats against her, she continued to live in Russia until her death in 1966.

She was also nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1965 and 1966 for her contribution to the 20th century Russian Poetry.

Have a great day ahead as always!

On this spooky holiday filled with unprecedented hotness (At least here in our small Kerala), we hope that you guys are enjoying your lovely day filled with trick-or-treats, treasure hunts, carving Jack-O'-Lanterns and all!

October...There.

That passed away incredibly fast, do you not think?
Have a great time ahead, as always!

Well, here's yet another gorgeous, gorgeous book cover to fall in love with!

Today, we have Hiromi Kawakami's 'The Third Love', which is a historical fiction speckled with love, infidelity, escapism, etc. The story is about Riko and her souring relationship; and how one day she crosses paths with a certain Mr. Takaoka and how her world expands (or shrinks, it's totally up to the readers) along with her association with him.

What would you rate this book AND its cover out of 10?
Let us know in the comments!!

This book was suggested to me by my cousin (who is a seasoned reader himself) and I decided to give it a try after having it on my TBR for a long time, and suffice to say, no matter how confusing this book is at the beginning, the ending was just ✨satisfying✨

Even if this book is less than a 300 pages, which means you can read it in a single sitting owing to the fact that the prose is very easy to understand, this book was still agonizingly slow and the sheer manipulation, and gaslighting, that Piranesi (the narrator, the main character) faces at the hands of a man he used to trust with his life and how, at the end, he was able to escape from the labyrinthine walls of the Other World.

This book is not a Greek mythology retelling, contrary to popular beliefs, and I urge you to give it a try if you want to read something short and sweet!

Have a great week ahead!!

Perfect for the fans of The Midnight Library by Matt Haig ( ) and Before the Coffee Gets Cold by .coffee , this charming yet witty story (really) tells about a librarian named Sayuri that shows how a perfect book recommendation can change a reader's life.

This book is a paean to the magic of libraries, friendship and community, perfect for anyone who had ever found themselves at an impasse in their life and in need of a little inspiration.

I wish y'all a great day ahead as always!

There's something incredibly tragic about the way the life flame of Virginia Woolf burnt too bright and too fast, rendering each and every reader of her feel the immeasurable agony she felt, even at the throes of many riches and grandeur.

I read this book last year, stuck as I was in the slow (agonizingly slow, actually) yet gripping novel it was. This was also my first Woolf, and I really had wanted to see what this one holds for me and it is this:

This book is not for anyone, and if you don't have immense patience and understanding, you might not like this one. But I loved it nonetheless, from the way I had spent many a days staring off into space thinking about Clarissa Dalloway, and... Septimus.

I wish you all a great day ahead as always, and have a great read ahead, too!

Contrary to the musical choices for today's post, this book is NOT a sappy tale, filled with the chronicles of romantic love and all that, but love all the same, shared between 4 sisters and how the others cope when one of them is lost to the world.

Coco Mellor's 'Blue Sisters' is an ode to sisterhood, grief, love and loss in all its glory and losses and she portrays each and every character with such distinct realism that one might feel the sisters, and what they are going through currently.

And also, don't get me started on that gorgeous, gorgeous cover! It's so pretty, make sure you get your hands across one as soon as you can from your local library or bookstore because. Words don't do justice to that cover!

We hope your day was lovely as always, and oh, if you are planning to read this lovely, yet sad book, please do keep some tissues near you all the time.
Trust me, you'll need that a LOT.

Ever since I read a newsletter by Stephenie Meyer stating that she loved Laini Taylor and couldn't be happier if she had written Strange the Dreamer duology, I did a small research on Laini (it was all those years ago, when Meyer's Midnight Sun was released to the public) and found out that she was just my kind of author.

Prose? World building? Amazing kickass characters?
Poetry??? THAT ARE SOMEHOW LOOSELY WOVEN BUT INTRICATELY CONNECTED WORDS???

That's Laini and I'm so glad that I got to read her books and most importantly, her primary work including the series.
And the above quote is taken from the said book, and words are not enough to express the emotions bubbling inside that core part of me that still yearns for more.

I hope your day was lovely as always and wish you cozy and happy days filled with the smell of ink and just brewed coffee.

If you loved Days At The Morisaki Bookshop, you'll definitely love Welcome to the Hyunam-Dong Bookshop by Hwang Bo-Reum, too.

Why, you ask?
Because of the numerous parallels present in both of the books, both in the main characters (running or at least helping in running a bookstore), but also in the setting!

This book is a nod to the ever-present comfort that we, as readers, experience from the kind of people and books we surround ourselves with, and about many of the experiences we built up over time.

Such a gorgeous feel-good slice of life books truly deserves being worthy of a reread!
Again and again!

Have a great day ahead, fellow lovely people!

Looking for something along the lines of YA fantasy with a touch of King Arthurian legends interwoven in it? And oh, add in a few pinches of ooey-gooey instalove and healthy mom relationships?

Then this book is just PERFECT for you. Sure, this is not a new-new book, it was released in 2021 but we really feel like this book did not have as much hype as it should have!

Tracy Deonn ( ) is very talented, and that just clearly shows in how she always manages to hook the reader with very few words!
She manages to create something out of everything we love, and honestly, when I read this book just a year or so ago, this one really felt solid!

Have any more books to rec?

Children's classics are some of my most beloved genres and this book perfectly encapsulates all the reasons why!

While some might say that I am too old for children's books, I'd just remind myself that these very books bring me the sense of utter comfort and that indescribable childish joy of exploring new things and meeting new people.

Althoigh this book begins with a tragedy, it is safe to say that E. Nesbit never bores the reader out. Instead, she lets you enjoy your inner child with these flawed and realistic plot and characters with all their whimsies and quirks.

And as someone who loves to meet and talk with people a lot, this book felt just like home. And this book was exactly what I was chasing for.

And oh, there's a re-read due and I cannot wait for it!

📚🔮Today, we have some curated picks for this August for you folks!🔮📚

These books transcend boundaries on whatever genres they are being classified into and were critically acclaimed and still are widely read by readers all alike throughout continents.

This short (yet sweet) list includes Dostoevsky's White Nights, Khaled Hosseini's The Kite Runner and Neil Gaiman's American Gods and such! Perfect for readers who are trying to look for historical fiction, fantasy or romance!

We wish you a great day ahead as usual!

When this book was released almost 9 years ago, this book was all the rage among Goodreads and all other book reviewing/ blogging sites. And that too for many, many reasons....

For a book to be a retelling of The Sleeping Beauty, this became one of the most popular ones ever (it is still a bestseller even today!) and we thought we'd post a little bit about it today!

Sarah J Maas is really, really good at creating incredible worldbuilding with characters that seem flat yet realistic at the same time and that clearly shows in this one. But this is a cheesy romantic fantasy and not very suitable for readers who are looking for high fantasy, epic fantasy, etc.

Do check out the content warnings (there's all too many to list here!) and let us know your thoughts down below!

Cheers and have a great day ahead!
