It’s starting to get a little cold sit outside for extended periods of time but I’m trying to soak up the last days of it 🧣

Some simple and habits to read more 📚☕️
Some days, I struggle to make time for reading even though it’s so easy to incorporate into my daily life. So here are some habits I adopted in order to read as much as I can (and want - it’s supposed be fun after all!) 🥰
More context in my blog post (link in bio).

P.S.: In case you noticed slides 3 and 4 being in the wrong order… no you didn’t.

I absolutely devoured Yellowface by Rebecca F. Kua

I absolutely devoured Yellowface by Rebecca F. Kuang within, like, 5 days 😮‍💨 It kept me on my toes until the last page.

📚 Yellowface book review 📚

The plot 📖
Athena Liu is a literary star, celebrating one huge success after another – until she dies in a sudden and tragic accident. Her friend June Hayward, a young author herself, has much less to show for her years of writing – until she steals Athena’s unpublished manuscript the night the night of her death. She “finishes” the manuscript and publishes it under the name Juniper Song. It becomes an immediate success - but Athena’s ghost will not rest until the world knows the truth. How far will June go to protect what she thinks she deserves?

My thoughts 💭
Yellowface addresses cultural appropriation and exploitation, racism and white victimhood from June‘s POV, as she pretends to be of Asian descent in order to sell a story that was never hers to tell. Her actions and justifications (excuses) raise questions about ownership of ideas and about who gets to tell whose stories.

The plot is just fast paced enough to give to to reflect on those themes while keeping you glued to the pages. Events spin out of control and it’s impossible to not wonder what will happen next.

Honestly, so so good. Definitely 4 stars from me (probably the only reason I’m not giving it 5 stars is because I read Babel first, so Kuang made me raise my standards way too high 😄)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Diaries of a week in late summer ✨ 📚 Anxious

Diaries of a week in late summer ✨

📚 Anxious People book review 📚

I finished reading Anxious People by Frederik Backman and it was such a comfort read - like your favourite blanket to wrap yourself up in 💕

It’s a story about a bank robbery gone wrong: The bank robber accidentally takes hostages at a house viewing - potential buyers who are all there for reasons of their very own. As the events unfold, we learn about their stories, anxieties and messes in life - a story about idiots.

It’s heartwarming, there is so much messiness, human connection and compassion. A book that restores your faith in humanity.
At times a little slow (it’s cozy after all), some plot twists caught me entirely by surprise and the characters made me laugh out loud and occasionally hold back a tear.

Really recommend if you’re looking for something fun, cozy and unexpected!

This book definitely deserves 4 stars for me ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
