I love books. The feel. The smell. I also review books on YouTube. Why? Because I love books. See how that works?

A personal novel of emotional depth, Martyr! by Kaveh Akbar explores themes of isolation, addiction, anxiety, depression and suicide. All this contrasted by the cooling balm of love. Akbar writes that which he knows.

Totally surprised by how much I enjoyed The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde. A thematic Gothic horror with shades of Poe and Hawthorne. A true pleasure and a rebuke to all you hedonists. 😁 Full review here. #booksky #books

The Tokyo Suite by Giovana Madalosso starts with a kidnapping. Not bad. Interesting. Except the novel sputters out half way through. It lacks a compelling plot and suffers as a character study. Full review in the link here. #booksky #books

Assassin’s Quest by Robin Hobb is an exceptional conclusion to the Farseer Trilogy. Hobb explores themes of duty, sacrifice, and justice. A fitting and worthy conclusion to a well-crafted saga. See the linked spoiler free review. #booksky #books

Short-listed for the Booker Prize, The Loneliness of Sonia and Sunny by Kiran Desai explores issues of race, class, and colonialism in India. While the prose is lovely, this novel is not for those desiring quick pace and compelling plot points. #booksky #books
