Our story begins with our mothers'- for when she is conceived, one half of us is already present in her. Metaphorically, yes? But let's come down to the bare bones. A girl is born with all the eggs she will ever have- we are a part of our mothers long before we become an idea, a desire, a wish. I've avoided picking this book for the longest time; I am known to cry copiously, especially at emotionally charged words. And an ode to a dead mother who ends her life at 51 years was certainly going to have me weep buckets. It didn't. Handke writes about his mother seven weeks after her death-in parts to make sense of this loss & to capture the entirety of 'her'. So he begins- she as a child, as a young woman learning the vocabulary of this world, a wife, a mother, an essential but ignored limb of the society, a matron who finds herself (better late than never) to only realise just how late that is & then… I didn't know there were controversies around Handke. This work, though, is just a testimony to love felt and experienced. This pithy German book, mere 78 pages, is held down by the beauty of the prose. Grief has words and more than wrenching your heart out- they wipe the muck off our vision. If sadness were words- A Sorrow Beyond Dreams would be those. And what it really says is… It's already too late, it's already too less. Go tell your mother you love her. #peterhandke #asorrowbeyonddreams #germanbooks #pushkinpress #nobelprizeliterature #austrianliterature #translatedliterature #translatedbooks #delhibookstagrammer #indianreaders #bookstagramindia #addictedtobooks #coffeeandbooks #bookishthoughts #neverwithoutabook #nonfictionreads #nevernotreading #januaryreads #2023readingchallenge #indianbookstagrammer #mumbaibookstagram (at India) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn8b4EzLM6q/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Bullet Train was first released in Japan in 2010. A movie based on the book was released this past weekend. “A bunch of bad guys are on a high-speed train headed to Tokyo. They all have different agendas even though some were hired by the same person. Mayhem ensues!” This is a book full of villians, bad guys, assassins and henchmen…and one complicated crime lord. Guys named Tangerine and Lemon. And Lemon bases his philosophy on the characters from Thomas the Tank Engine. Comes in handy near the end of the ride. There’s a teenage psychopath that’s horrifying. And a surprising, long-in-the-tooth assassin team that comes out of retirement. This is a great book if you’re looking for some entertaining action with some humor. Were you a Thomas the Tank Engine fan? #bullettrainbook #kotaroisaka #actionsuspense #translatedbooks #booksmadeintomovies #bookstagram #bookshelves #booknerd #readinglife #bookwormlife #sodacityreads #bookworm #suspensebook #bookhaul #literarycrimefiction #homelibrary #thrillerbooks #domesticthriller #crimefiction #thriller #characterdrivenbooks #mysterythriller #bookrecs https://www.instagram.com/p/Cg_3u0fLtCb/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Hello! What are y’all currently reading? I’m in the middle of The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Luis Zafon, the most recent pick for my IRL book club where we read translated fiction! I’m really enjoying it so far and we’ve come up with some wild theories for where the story will go, especially since it’s the first in a series. Do you read translated works? I’m always looking for recommendations so comment below! #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #translatedfiction #translatedworks #translatedliterature #translatedbooks #theshadowofthewind #carlosluiszafon #bookclub #bookclubbook #currentlyreading (at Corvallis, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cc5uNPor8wm/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Hello everyone and welcome to the end of the week! Am I glad it’s Friday? 😅 Yes. The answer is YES 😂 Here’s the second part of my book haul that I picked up when @keeperofpages and I went book shopping before Christmas. I loved Maggie Shipstead’s novel Great Circle when I read it last year so was delighted to come across this, her short story collection, You Have A Friend In 10A. “Diving into eclectic and vivid settings, from an Olympic village to a deathbed in Paris to a Pacific atoll, and illuminating a cast of unforgettable characters, Shipstead traverses the ordinary and extraordinary with cunning, compassion and wit.” Next up, My Soul Twin. This was a must buy as @keeperofpages and I read and loved The Eighth Life. We’re going to be reading this as a buddy read together. It’s described as “a modern day Wuthering Heights - two families, one devastating secret, and an epic story of forbidden love.” Finally, Our Share Of Night which I have already read as a buddy read with @keeperofpages and absolutely loved. A review will be coming (at some point 😂) but it was a 5 star read for both of us! I’d love to know your thoughts on any of these books or authors. Let’s have a chat in the comments! #bookstagramuk #scottishbookstagrammer #ohlookmorebooks #bookhaulofdreams #bookshoppingwithmyfavorites #youhaveafriendin10a #maggieshipstead #ourshareofnight #marianaenríquez #translatedbooks📚 #buddyreadswithjanel #lovingbookslovinglife #insatiablebookworm https://www.instagram.com/p/CpVnGvFLRwN/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

2023 - Week 21 - A book by an Asian diaspora author

My Pick: Highway with Green Apples - Bae Suah

Ever have an quarter-life crisis? The main character in Highway with Green Apples has you covered. It’s very relatable if you have ever questioned everything in your life and culture.

My Rating: 3 out of 5

✨ Hello everyone!✨ Eid Mubarak to all those celebrating! It's been such a great day with family today. (Haven't gotten my Eidi yet, but I've heard that patience is a virtue). Today I'm thrilled to be sharing with you all my Read Harder Challenge TBR for this year. The #ReadHarder Challenge is an annual reading challenge hosted by @BookRiot every year. We get 24 prompts that we have to complete, and it motivates you to expand and diversify your reading choices and step out of your comfort zone. The prompts are so interesting this time, and there are so many books that I wouldn't have discovered, let alone read, if not for these prompts. I have already completed a few, and i will be updating my reviews for those later this month. This is a really fun challenge, and i encourage anyone who's interested in broadening their reading tastes, or just read more purposefully- to try out this challenge. More information can be found on Book Riot's website. QOTD- What's a genre/topic you would like to read more of? #bookstagram #bookstagrammers #bookstagrammersofindia #booksbooksbooks #booklist #bookblogger #booksonbooks #booklover #yabooks #reading #reader #books #bookrecs #fantasybooks #adultfantasy #bookbloggers #pocbookstagrammer #evelynhugo #diversebooks #redpalace #readingchallenge #ReadHarder2022 #thestationaryshop #themagicfish #translatedbooks #graphicnovel #elifshafak https://www.instagram.com/p/CdGWcT3PGMi/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I thoroughly enjoyed Izumi Suzuki’s irrelavent sci-fi cyberpunk shorts. Although a few of them were a little bland, the concept as a whole was incredibly fun. Suzuki plays on traditional sexuality, often mixing the roles and creating relationships that feel unbalanced compared to other science-fiction pieces. It’s also the unique selling-point of Terminal Boredom – a penchant for the unexpected. . The first English-language publication of the work of Izumi Suzuki, a legend of Japanese science fiction and a countercultural icon. . Izumi Suzuki was born in 1949. After dropping out of high school, she worked in a factory before finding success and infamy as a model and actress. Her acting credits include both pink films and classics of 1970s Japanese cinema. When the father of her children, jazz musician Kaoru Abe, died of an overdose, Suzuki’s creative output went into hyperdrive, and she began producing irreverent and punky short fiction, novels and essays. . You can find the full review in my bio. Terminal Boredom s now available from @versobooks and all good booksellers. . . . #IzumiSuzuki #TerminalBoredom #Verso #Japanese #JapaneseLiterature #SciFi #Sciencefiction #Cyberpunk #NobuyoshiAraki #bookstagram #bookreview #books #booklover #bibliophile #womenintranslation #readtheworld #fictionintranslation #translatedbooks #readersofig #translatedlit #bookreviewers #debutfiction #translated #bookaesthetics #bookrecommendation #bookstagramuk #sciencefictionbooks #scifiworld #futurism #dystopia (at Christleton Duck Pond) https://www.instagram.com/p/COyTSLHrQ9v/?igshid=h20c4kb5z7bp

As I begin to write this, I'm trying to pin down what this story is about- India's first lady doctor or child marriage? Does it catch the Indian women emancipation movement in its nascent stages or capturing the downfall of the last nawab of Awadh is its aim? It's all this. Which is part of its charm & also the reason why it overpowers you. But let's start from the beginning. Krishnosundor & his family leave their village with a promise of better days but life sells them off as plantation slaves. His sister, Bhubonmoni, his two daughters & his wife- their lives form the crux of this story. The first 150 pages pulled me in; the story took off immediately but I found myself emotionally overwhelmed. I asked @pepperandpetals the one who loved this book and gifted it to me, if things get better. She encouraged me to continue reading & I am glad I listened to her. The story is well-researched & apart from the protagonists there are others who held my interest- I mean, Rabindranath Tagore is practising his poetry & Kadambini Ganguly is studying to be a doctor here. The tapestry is rich with memorable characters, sewn with the silk of the Indian history. @arunavasinha has done a fantastic job with the translation and I wish @debarati.mukhopadhyay more success with her book. The Indian historical fiction scene is richer because of her work. Trigger warnings: Child marriage, rape, gender & caste issues. #chroniclesoflostdaughters #bengalitranslatedliterature #debaratimukhopadhyay #delhibookstafam #delhibookstagrammer #indianbooks #historicalfiction #translatedbooks #indianreader #indianbookstagrammer #bookstagraminda #translatedliterature #alwaysreading #bookblogger #bookishthoughts #bookdragon #2023readingchallenge #readingchallenge2023 #januaryreads #delhireaders (at India) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnoYS4Vr1MC/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

How often do you read translated books? Here are some I’ve read including my CR, Bullet Train. A Man Called Ove is a favorite. Did you know Planet of the Apes was translated from a French novel? (And a different ending from both movies 😮) How many translated authors have you read? #translatedbooks #amancalledove #fredrikbackman #thelibrarianofauschwitz #jonesbø #harryholeseries #thegirlwiththedragontattoo #planetoftheapes #youwillnothavemyhate #bookstagram #bookshelves #booknerd #readinglife #bookwormlife #sodacityreads #bookworm #suspensebook #bookhaul #literarycrimefiction #homelibrary #thrillerbooks #domesticthriller #crimefiction #thriller #characterdrivenbooks #mysterythriller #bookrecs https://www.instagram.com/p/CgzqKPcr3Mm/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
