"The right cover is like a beautiful coat, elegant and warm, wrapping my words as they travel through the world, on their way to keep an appointment with my readers. The wrong cover is cumbersome, suffocating. Or it is like a too-light sweater: inadequate." ๐๐๐๐๐ #theclothingofbooks #jhumpalahiri #booklover #recovering #instagramreaders #trending (at Bokaro Steel City, India) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnCTyMkPoRz/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

๐Last Book: My Killer Vacation by Tessa Bailey โญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธ๐ซ ๐Next Book: Whereabouts by Jhumpa Lahiri My Killer Vacation by Tessa Bailey was perfection. It was a twist on her recent romcoms by added a murder mystery on top. Did you all know she has three more books coming out in the next year and a half??? I feel like I'll never catch up reading all her books, but I never cease to love them! โข โช๏ธ โข โช๏ธ โข When I was in high school, one of my required reading books one summer was The Namesake by Jhumpa Lahiri. It was the first time a book had made an impact on me and it's left me thinking about it for years. I recommend it to everyone I talk to (you should also go read it). Only two other books have left lasting impressions on me like that one did, Dear Edward by Ann Napolitano and The Immortalists by Chloe Benjamin. โข โข โข โข โข #lizzierecommends #mykillervacation #whereabouts #tessabaileybooks #jhumpalahiri #TheImmortalists #chloebenjamin #annnapolitano #dearedward #booksofinstagram #bookbloggersofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/Ce1CsjerxTZ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Author Spotlight: Jhumpa Lahiri
Introduction
Follow my Author Spotlight on Jhumpa Lahiri, as I do a deep dive on her books over the next couple of weeks!
๐ Main themes: immigrant experience, identity, and belonging.
๐Lyrical prose, intricate character development
๐Awards:
Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 2000: Interpreter of Maladies
Man Booker Prize Shortlist: The Lowland
๐ Translations: She has also translated works from Italian to English. Now she writes almost exclusively in Italian, which, according to me, is a testament to her language skills and versitality!

๐Interpreter of Maladies - Jhumpa Lahiri๐ I'll start with this - Jhumpa Lahiri is one of my favourite authors, and this was the first book of hers that I read. Interpreter of Maladies is a book comprised of nine short stories that are heavily drawn with South-Asian culture (as a desi girl, I loved that) and are about Indians and Indian Migrants in America struggling with their roots and the new world which was far from home. Every story was an experience to read, with consistent elements of Indian tradition and culture mixing with American culture. Marriage is the prevalent theme in most of the stories, along with longing, love, and homesickness. Character interactions were beautifully portrayed in each story. It is clear that even within short stories, Lahiri has mastered character depth and character development. Every character was unique and well-defined. You could identify with them, feel for them, and feel with them as the story went progressed. Some of the stories are feel-good, but some were just downright heart-breaking. I was satisfied with endings, but at the very same time I was left wishing for so much more. #books #bookstagram ย #bookaddict ย #booklover #booknerd ย #bookholic ย #bookish #booklover #bookworm #goodreads #bookrecommendations #booklover #bookobsessed ย #bookreview #jhumpalahiri #interpreterofmaladies https://www.instagram.com/p/CjBQDp8NBqz/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

@booksnbeyondbox is back with another readathon from 14th February to 24th March. With only 1 month I hand I decided to take part in this awesome readathon and here goes my tbr for #bnbreadathon Prompt 1: Love thyself or that neighbor- basically a love story and for that I am picking up #exitwest by #mohsinhamid which I am going to buddy read with @night.bibliophile starting today. (Anyone willing to join this buddy read, please dm.) Prompt 2- A book by a woman or about a woman- for this I have picked up #namesake by #jhumpalahiri . This is one book that I wanted to read for the longest time and bought it after giving into the compulsive buying phase a month or so back. Now this book is also a part of my tbr list for #readingwomenchallenge so yayy again another tbr overlap. Prompt 3- A book sent in bnb box. Since I am not a subscriber of this box I looked through the list provided by @booksnbeyondbox for this and yes, I have one of them. It's #thehateyougive by @angiethomas , I had bought the Kindle edition long back when this book was going round in #bookstagram but never got around to reading it. No regrets! For now is the time. Also this is another prompt in #readingwomenchallenge , so yeah.!! My tbr is ready for #bnbreadathon and I am diging into it right away. Are you participating? What's you tbr like.? If you don't know about this readathon yet it's time to go and check out the post on @booksnbeyondbox 's feed.

โImmersing herself in a third language, a third culture, had been her refuge- she approached French, unlike things American or Indian, without guilt, or misgiving, or expectation of any kind. It was easier to turn her back on the two countries that could claim her in favour of one that had no claim whatsoever.โ
The Namesake, Jhumpa Lahiri
