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. . .

As a child I dreamt of having ceiling high bookshelves filled with books from all around the world 😃 an essential part of this visualization was always a ladder leaning against a shelf! 📚 . . I love photographing bookshelves and this one is by far one of my favorites. . . Are there any bookstores and bookshelves you love? I'm always looking for recommendations. . . PS: This was taken at the Filoli Mandion during Christmas🏠

☀️Today is the first day of Summer! I might be one the very few who say that they don't enjoy summer as much as the other seasons of the year 😄 I'm just not a huge fan of the hot days. . . The book here is actually a journal which I got from @minalimadesign and I'm absolutely in love with it 😍 I'm using it to write down all the quotes I love. I mean words which make you feel warm and strong can be used as dark arts defences, right?! 😉 . . #Bookstagram #instabook #book #books #bookblog #bookblogger #bookcommunity #thetinystoryteller #reader #read #reading #writing #bookish #igreads #harrypotter #bookshelf #currentlyreading #sortinghat #magic #hogwarts

Self portrait of a girl who is trying to read four books at once 🙈 the fourth book is on my Kindle so couldn't have it in the picture 😄 so much to read, so little time! ⏳Anyone else reading multiple books at a time? . . #readmorebooks #currentlyreading #igreads #bookstagram #girlswhoread #summerreading #bookaddict #diversebooks#neverletmego #bookphotography

As much as I enjoy reading books I also love a good graphic novel or a comic book. I fell in love with Calvin and Hobbes when I was in elementary school. And, over the years every time I reread them I discover something new to chuckle at. Here are some of my favorite quotes - . . "Everybody seeks happiness! Not me, though! That’s the difference between me and the rest of the world. Happiness isn’t good enough for me! I demand euphoria!" . . "If good things latest forever, would we appreciate how precious they are?" . . Do you have a favorite Calvin and Hobbes quote? #calvinandhobbes #comicbooks #bookphotography #instabooks #booksofinsta

I started following @rawra.avis on Instagram and after sometime. I realized that she has two books of poems she's published. I immediately bought this one titled Dinosaur Hearted. Firstly, because the poet is such a wonderful person and I really wanted to read what she wrote. Second, because I've always had a soft corner for everything dinosaur related 😊 . . When I got this book and started reading, I was amazed at how beautiful everything in this book was. Every poem can mean something to someone. It's like she picks up topics from the what we think is the darkest places in our heart and talks about how normal these things are and how it's ok to be Dinosaur Hearted. My favorite in this book is the one titled, "In Truth"♥️ . . @rawra.avis thank you for writing these, please don't stop. I'm so eager to read your next book on prison poems as soon as I get it. 😊⭐

Happy Weekend, everyone! Starting my morning by rereading a story from Jhumpa Lahiri's Interpreter of Maladies. There's something about her stories that makes me crave the feeling she creates in her stories 😊 perhaps it's the weird feeling of being Indian in the US or talking about people and situation which are so relatable. There's a magic about these stories that sometimes when someone asks me why I like it so much I can only smile and can't think of just one reason 😃 . . What are you reading this weekend? . . #JhumpaLahiri #ShortStory #readersofinstagram #readersofig #reading #weekendmood #reading #books #bookstagram #book #read #bookworm #booklover #love #bookish #bibliophile #instabook #bookaddict #booknerd #literature #bookstagrammer #author #bookaholic #library #bookshelf #writer #igreads #booklove #quotes #bookphotography #instabooks
