This was such a fun read. Antimatter Blues is a science fiction story where you follow Mickey7, who is an expendable heading out to explore the new world for the human habitation. The world building was excellent. It was lighthearted, humorous and the characters were easy to follow and enjoy. They each had their own charm.

This one is definitely for all the science fiction lovers, and would appeal to Andy Weir fans.

This was a delightful book. Who wouldn't enjoy a book about booksellers, particularly antiquarian booksellers? This memoir describes how the author became an apprentice bookseller at an old bookshop in London. It was a clever and interesting look into the antiquarian book trade. Well written and packed with intriguing book-related information.

Unquiet Spirits is a wonderful collection of essays. We read from various Asian women authors and the relation or spirit of each writers horror story to that of their life. The stories symbolism range from tradition, trauma to womanhood. Proving a glimpse to their inner workings and how the stories came to be.

A little late, but these are some of the books I received this holiday. What were your bookish gifts? Have you read any of these yet?

Currently reading this awesome book.
📖This book is captivating so far. I came to know about Heimo Korth and his family through the docuseries, The Last Alaskans. They were one of my favorite families. Have you read it or seen the documentary?

💭What ever you think this book is about. It‘s not. 😆
This is a thriller/Mystery romance. While there‘s romance in it, in my opinion is not the main focus of the story. I went in blind as usual and it did not disappoint.

🥺”Well, shit...” were my exact words right after I finish reading this book and not in a bad way. Not at all. I was flabbergasted! 😱 and a little teary eye, I am not going to lie.

“I have lost my smile,
But don‘t worry,
The dandelion has it.”

My favorite quote from Peace In Every Step by Thich Nhat Hanh.

It‘s also very gloomy today and I love it! 🖤 #gloomydays #rainydays #readingcorner

📖 Currently reading this lovely book. It‘s enlightening and insightful. You can never go wrong with Thich Nhat Hanh. If you haven‘t read any of his books, I would absolutely recommend.

Also, while it‘s not related at all. Today is day 25 of #100daysofhalloweenhappy with Fav blanket and this is my fav blanket. It‘s very old, but I love it just the same 😂

📖What are you reading?

I read this wonderful Arc during my stay in the mountains. I loved this book.
The world building was excellent. The characters were both hilarious and wild, and as with any fantasy book, there are plenty of characters and storylines. If you‘re into Wuxia/Xianxia with incredible world building this is for you.

📖What a rollercoaster! This book falls under my, “Struggling with a book hangover.” 😂

This was recommended to me and I went in blind. I was both surprised and intrigued 😳😱🫣🧐🤩
It didn‘t end at all how I imagined. I didn‘t even think this had a HEA, but to my surprised it did.

It is definitely not your conventional romance. Please check the author's note before reading. #darkromance #romancebooks

HOLT: Her Ruthless Scion | Theodora Taylor
post image
Pickpick

I enjoy reading T. Taylor‘s books. I believe this is one of her earlier books 🤔 I could be wrong 🤷🏻‍♀️

🖤 I love how inclusive Theodora Taylor is with her books. There are so many various types of people, all from different backgrounds and it all works! Like it should be. It never feels forced. It‘s one of the many reasons, I enjoy reading her books.

MyBookCalledLife Looking this author up! 2y
Mybookcafelife @MyBookCalledLife awesome! I hope you enjoy her books. Her most popular ones are Victor, Han, Phantom books. Check those out , though after the first book, it gets a bit darkish. The first book, though it‘s pretty good. 2y

Arc | The Neuroscience of You has great information about the brain and it‘s working mechanism. I sadly didn‘t enjoy it as much as I thought. I found it to be more research and reference focused rather than an actual educational conversation or thorough analysis about the subject. It also felt more of a personal essay and how it applied to the author, more so than how your brain works for you.

While I didn‘t love it, I would recommend it. #arc
