Well I'm definitely looking forward to reading these two books I bought from the Books Actually store. They are both Singaporean writers and I'm always so happy to see more #singlit

Well. I want to like this book very badly. And, for the most part, I do. I think it's much better organized than Inheritance. There is a purposefulness (is that a word? hah) to the way the themes are explored. But I can't get over the way the word "Singapore" keeps appearing everywhere. On page 70 alone, it appears 5 times. It's reaaaaally bugging me. #singlit

My #singlit read over the weekend. While the first part tried too hard to establish the sense of place (too many needless "this is singapore" references), the book gradually came into its own with a distinct, graceful voice that seems to have seen a lot and felt a great deal and painted beautifully here with a thoughtful revelation of emotions through meals painstakingly prepared to capture defiance, relief, euphoria. Hence, the sponge cake. :)

Published, authored and designed in Singapore, these Math Paper Press books have gorgeous covers. I'm looking forward to reading them! Have any of you read these books? Would be interested in hearing what you think of them. #SingLit

I had a nerve-wracking morning so I treated myself to a trip to the bookstore and a single origin flat white this afternoon. Thank you, @booksactually for these SingLit titles! Review copies always feel like such a treat. I said I didn't want to get too many copies because I wasn't sure when I'd be able to read and review them, but all of these looked great and I'm excited to read them! 📖📚 #SingLit

So I decided that 2017 will be the year I actively seek out and read more literature by Singaporean authors. Inheritance, which I bought and read last month, was a pretty perfect start to this journey.

Edit: Recently committed to the #LitsyChallenge2017 & going to use this for the square 'Set in the 1970s'.

Books Actually in the Tiong Bahru estate of Singapore. A delight for booklovers. #Singapore #singlit
