I've been making a point to read books from other cultures recently. When I came across The House on Mango Street at Powell's City of books I had to pick it up! It's such a delightful read. Well written and engaging! 😊 . . On a side note: I have to go back to Powell's in Portland! . . #books #powellsbooks #powellscityofbooks #bookstagram #thehouseonmangostreet #culturereads

This is what I love about reading! 🥰

Like the name but not the act of dog earing books! . . #bookstagram #books #bookblogger #bookstores

Who agrees? I've been swampped with a lot of work and haven't had much time to read recently. And, I feel like I am missing a part of me 😅 All I can think of is probably having a staycation sometime sooner rather than later and getting back to the books I have started. . . #belletristweeklyquote #belletrist #bookquotes #books #girlswhoread

And every morning the way home gets longer and longer by Fredrick Backman had me in tears 😢 it's a novella which you can finish in less than an hour but is so well written and captures the emotions of three different generations in a family. . . #fredrickbackman #andeverymorningthewayhomegetslongerandlonger #librarybooks #novella #amazingbooks #shortstories #books #bookstagram #bookblogger #girlswhoread #bookcovers

Finished reading this book over my vacation last week. I started reading it without knowing what I was getting into. As I read the first few pages, I felt like that this wasn’t set in a world that we live in now and there was something abnormal when the narrator Kathy H., a thirty something “carer” started talking about “doners” and people “completing” after making three or four donations. Ever so often you read a book that have you thinking about it days and weeks after you have finished it - this is definitely one such book. I can't believe I hadn't read it sooner. . . I’m not going to get into the details of the book itself since talking about anything related to the plot would be a major spoiler. But let me tell you some themes in the book which might whet your appetite: how much an identity given when younger defines how you think, how much is pre-determined and how we turn a blind eye to things which are inevitable, how we learn to live within our constraints and how we try to no matter what not let go of those who share a part of our life. . . #neverletmego #kazuoishiguro #books #bookstagram #bookbloggers #girlswhoread #bookstagram #bookstagrammer#badassbookbabes #instablogger #bookblogger#booklover #bibliophile#bookworm #bookaddict #readersofinstgram

Happy Friday Everyone! I can't believe it's already been a week since I visited this indie bookstore named Another Read Through in the Mississippi district of Portland! 😃 I try to explore independent bookstores wherever I travel these days. . . It was such an adorable bookstore and it had this tiny reading nook shaped as a tree trunk! And, of course I picked up Harry Potter to read a few lines from it. . . I also picked up a $3 blind date fantasy book here which I'm excited to read at some point 😁 📍@another.read.through . . . #anotherreadthrough #indiebookstores #booksandtravel #booksofinsta #bookstagram #books #bookstores #girlswhotravel #girlswhoread

Since I was in Portland, I had to visit Powell's City of Books! It's such a wonderful and huge store 😍 you can spend time perusing through the shelves and you'll not know how time flew by! It literally occupies an entire city block and has every genre you can think of! If I lived in Portland, this would probably be my second home 🏡 . . One of my favorites classics is of course Pride and Prejudice and I was so glad to have found this edition of the book at Powell's! . . What's your favorite indie bookstore and your favorite classic? . . #indiebookstores #classics #booksandtravel #bookstores #prideandprejudice #penguinclassics #Bookstagram #bookblogger #penguinrandomhouse #books

Happy weekend! 😃 Spent part of my Friday evening lying down in the park reading on my Kindle 😊 after a long week of work this felt amazing. I could definitely get used to such summer evenings! I'm currently reading Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro and I'm at that point in the book where it's hard to put it down. . . What are you currently reading and what's your favorite reading spot? . . #bookstagram #currentlyreading #books #readersofinstagram #neverletmego #kindlereader #kazuoishiguro #summerreading #ilovebooks

Monday reading update⏰ 📖Currently reading: Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro 🙂 🍵Tea Pairing: Honey Vanilla Chamomile . . This is one among the many books that I'm reading. I'm loving the book so far. The writing style in this book was conversational and it took some time to get used to. But, the story is very engaging. I had what seemed like a long day at work. This book is perfect to get me out of my head. . .
