May Books | 2020

Here are all the books I read in May. The majority of my reads were written by Asian authors due to the Asian readathon. I have post mini-reviews here for some of them and also on my instagram if you fancy having a look. Some of the books I read were ebooks and since my e-reader died on me and I'm too lazy to charge it, they are not pictured.
  • The Complete Chi's Sweet Home, Part 1 by Konami Kanata (8/10).
  • All Among the Barley by Melissa Harrison (8/10).
  • The Beast Player by Nahoko Uehashi (6.5/10)
  • The Map of Salt and Stars by Zeyn Joukhadar (DNF).
  • The Magical Language of Others by E.J. Koh (8.5/10).
  • Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer (7/10).
  • Emma by Jane Austen (a reread - 8/10).
  • Minor Feelings: An Asian American Reckoning by Cathy Park Hong (9/10).
  • On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous by Ocean Vuong (5.5/10).
  • A Fine Balance by Rohinton Mistry (9.5/10).
  • How Much of These Hills Is Gold by C.Pam Zhang (7/10).
Of the ebooks I have purchased a physical copy for All Among the Barley, The Magical Language of Others and Minor Feelings after reading them because they were that good.

Book Review // Because of Mr. Terupt by Rob Buyea

Because of Mr. Terupt  by Rob Buyea { Goodreads } Published by Yearling in 2011 Paperback edition; 288 pages { BookDepository } " Features seven narrators, each with a unique story, and each with a different perspective on what makes their teacher so special.  It’s the start of fifth grade for seven kids at Snow Hill School. There’s . . .  Jessica,  the new girl, smart and perceptive, who’s having a hard time fitting in;  Alexia,  a bully, your friend one second, your enemy the next;  Peter,  class prankster and troublemaker;  Luke,  the brain;  Danielle, who never stands up for herself; shy  Anna,  whose home situation makes her an outcast; and  Jeffrey,  who hates school.  Only Mr. Terupt, their new and energetic teacher, seems to know how to deal with them all. He makes the classroom a fun place, even if he doesn’t let them get away with much . . . until the snowy winter day when an accident changes everything—and everyone. "

The Gif Tag!

Jess over at My Reading Dress – seriously, go follow her! – tagged me a while ago to do the Gif Tag and I haven’t been able to post it earlier because I have no clue about technology and I couldn’t make the gifs work so I had to investigate a bit. Also, I haven’t read most of the books of the list. I really hope this works out alright so without further ado, let’s get started! Oh, I might have used more than one gif for some of the books...
