Asian Readathon TBR


I have decided to take part in the asian readathon. I am aware there are some prompts to follow but I pretty much believe the books in my list fill them perfectly. The only prompt I will not be doing is reading Little Fires Everywhere mainly because I have already read it and it's not a book I'm interested in rereading.

Here is the physical list:
  • A Fine Balance by Rohinton Mistry
  • The Beast Player by Nahoko Uehashi
  • The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy
  • On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous by Ocean Voung
  • The Map of Salt and Stars by Zeyn Joukhadar
  • The Joy Luck Club by Amy Tan
However, there are some other titles I own as ebooks that will work as back up in case I finish my physical TBR:
  • The Sleepwalker's Guide to Dancing by Mira Jacob
  • Anna K by Jenny Lee
  • Territory of Light by Yuko Tsushima
  • Your House Will Pay by Steph Cha
  • The Immortals of Tehran by Ali Araghi
  • The Mountains Sing by Nguyen Phan Que Mai
  • The Beauty of Your Face by Sahar Mustafah

Book Review // The Improbability of Love by Hannah Rothschild

The Improbability of Love  by Hannah Rothschild { Goodreads } Published by Bloomsbury in 2016 Paperback edition; 479 pages { BookDepository } The Improbability of Love follows a bunch of different characters all involved in different ways with the art-world scene in London when a very famous painting –which gives name to the novel – is found by Annie, the main protagonist we could say, in a thrift shop. Don’t be fooled by the cover which screams chick-lit through and through; the novel deals with so much more.

Book Review // The Madwoman Upstairs by Catherine Lowell

Her father is dead and the public believes she has inherited some important pieces of the Brontë’s literary estate, which is not true as long as she’s concerned since she has never seen said estate.

Weekend Reads

This weekend I'm planning on finishing El día de año nuevo y otros cuentos maravillosos  - a short story collection by Vladímir Odóievski that so far it's simply okay nothing really special- and reading a chunk of Outlander . I'm halfway through the latter and so far, it's a very enjoyable read; I started watching the TV show last year when it premiered but stopped after some episodes because I wanted to read the book. I'm finally caught up with what I saw and from now on I don't know what's going to happen which makes me wanna read even more. What are your plans for the weekend?
