Hello, hello!
Hope your weekend has gotten off to a good start!
It's the Holi weekend here in India and in a different time, we'd be gearing up to celebrate the festival of colours with sweets and colours!
However, we are doing the best we can and reading some great books!
My sister is reading a collection of short stories by Haruki Murakami called Men Without Women.
Plot Summary: Across seven tales, Haruki Murakami brings his powers of observation to bear on the lives of men who, in their own ways, find themselves alone. Here are vanishing cats and smoky bars, lonely hearts and mysterious women, baseball and the Beatles, woven together to tell stories that speak to us all.
Sounds good, right?
I am reading Tanaz Bhathena's The Beauty of the Moment.
Plot Summary: Susan is the new girl-she's sharp and driven, and strives to meet her parents' expectations of excellence. Malcolm is the bad boy-he started raising hell at age fifteen, after his mom died of cancer, and has had a reputation ever since.
Susan's parents are on the verge of divorce. Malcolm's dad is a known adulterer.
Susan hasn't told anyone, but she wants to be an artist. Malcolm doesn't know what he wants-until he meets her.
Love is messy and families are messier, but in spite of their burdens, Susan and Malcolm fall for each other. The ways they drift apart and come back together are the picture of being true to oneself.
Sounds rather fun, right? Just the right kind of light-yet-not-frivolous kind of book I am in the mood for!
Are you doing any reading? Let me know on my Instagram!
