Do you enjoy making big decisions and leading other people? Or would you rather not take on that kind of responsibility? 👑 Personally, I’ve been known to take charge of a situation or project when nobody else seems willing and nothing’s going to get done otherwise, but I don’t really enjoy bossing others around and I’d much rather do the work all on my own than have to tell other people how to do it! 👑 The heroine of BEYOND THE SHADOWED EARTH, though, is a fiery young queen determined to be Empress of half the world, and who spends much of the early chapters of the book pushing for a grand building project that she’s convinced must be finished no matter what obstacles stand in the way. 👑 Eda is prickly, sharp-tongued, and consumed with ambition and pride, which makes her rather unlikeable at first. But her backstory is so compelling, and there’s so much humanity and vulnerability beneath her hard surface, that I found myself turning the pages avidly to find out what would happen to her next. I won’t spoil any of the story for you, but @gamwyn pulls off a remarkable narrative feat in taking Eda through a painful but satisfying character journey and revealing the truth behind her beliefs and actions. 👑 Anyway, if you’ve enjoyed Megan Whalen Turner’s Attolia series, there’s a good chance you’ll appreciate this book too. I downloaded the e-book from Netgalley and the formatting was terrible, but I still couldn’t put it down! . . #swiftbookstagramchallenge Day 8: The Joan - Fictional Female Ruler . . . #joannaruthmeyer #gamwyn #beyondtheshadowedearth #bookstagram #bookstagramchallenge #bookchallenge #bookphotochallenge #augustbookchallenge #bookishchallenge #challenge #swift #swiftbook #flightandflametrilogy #yafantasy #fantasybooklover #fantasyforlife #ireadya #yalit #yabooks #yabookstagram #bookaddict #youngadultbooks https://www.instagram.com/p/CDpIRQsgMGu/?igshid=17xte21j8ba8h

When Obayda's father loses his leg in a bomb disaster, the whole family moves back to her father's village. It comes with her aunt's idea about bacha posh for good luck. Bacha posh is a tradition where a girl in the family is changed into a boy and persuaded to act like one in the society. Obayda is the chosen one and she becomes Obayd. Then, she meets Rahim, another bacha posh, and they begin to experience a simple freedom yet unforgetable. However, bacha posh is only a temporary transformation. The book did well in potraying certain orthodox mindsets which are relevant even today. At the end, the gender of the child does not matter when it comes to love and affection. . . #donereading One Half From The East by Nadia Hashimi #readingisfundamental #readingislife #readingisfun #readingissexy #readingismagic #readingchallenge2020📚 #igreads #bookstagram #goodreads #emabaca #nadiahashimi #onehalffromtheeast #harpercollins #malaysiamembaca #bangsamembaca #keepcalmandread #augustbookchallenge https://www.instagram.com/p/CEbU1X4FEx1/?igshid=fau3ecqq14hp

Day 3 of #book2school is get to know me. • I live on the border of US & Mexico. The state line of Texas and New Mexico. So I can be in two states at once or two countries at once. 😋(all 3 of these titles take place in my city) • I have 3 little ones. • I love planning but hardly accomplish what I actually plan 🤦🏻‍♀️ • I fall asleep watching snapped or forensic files because I love the narrators voice. • I'm a Dr Pepper addict & proud. #bookstagram #bibliophile #bookworm #bookworms #augustbookchallenge #inexplicablelogicofmylife #saintdeath #aristotleanddantediscoverthesecretsoftheuniverse #yareads #youngadult #amreading #bookish #bookblog #igreads #reading

Shelfie time! I really need new shelves 😂 this situation is just too much 😂😂 * QOTD: How do you organise your shelves? Mine are mostly alphabetically. I say mostly because one pile is sorted by size and when I move books to the back I don't bother sorting them 😅 * #grimdragon Day 13: #shelfiesunday * #bookstagram #bookish #booklover #bookworm #booklr #books #bibliophile #augustbookchallenge #bookstagrammer #booklove #booksofinstagram #instabook #read #reading #reader #buch #bücher #lesen #bookstagramfeature  #bookphotography #leser #igbooks #bookishallure

So time for a wrap up! I actually read what I wanted to in August more or less! • 📚 Strange The Dreamer ⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Beautiful writing, inventive and dark concept, very delicious, reading it is like eating a very rich chocolate cake. • 📚 If We Were Villains ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Staying power. Dramatic, moody, cheeky. Immediately worth a reread. Review up on my blog. • Now I'm a third of the way through Caraval, and then I'll try read Shatter Me. • What's on your September tbr? // #bookphotochallenge #augustbookchallenge #allthebooksaug18 #augustwrapup #septembertbr #septemberbookchallenge #tbr #toberead #currentlyreading #readthismonth #caraval #ifwewerevillains #shatterme #strangerthedreamer #kindle #ebook #bookstack #bookpile #bookspines #pusheen #pusheenandbooks #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #booksofinstagram #bookworm #bookish #booklr https://www.instagram.com/p/BnMYRR2lAt3/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=13vcuc3cwppth

Happy Wednesday! Do you have a book that you'd wished you'd read sooner? The only book I can think of is "Far From The Tree" by Robin Benway, but I'm also content with when I read it.✨ Some child probably named Michelle decided that there needed to be extra art work on the cover of "Treasure Island". #FearYourNovelAugust - Pirate Cover #AllTheBooksAug18 - Wish You'd Read Sooner 📓📚📖📓📚📖📓📚📖📓📚📖📓📚📖 #bookstagram #reading #reader #bookish #booksofinstagram #booksofinsta #yareads #booklove #booklover #bibliophile #bookworm #booknerds #bookstagramchallenge #augustphotochallenge #augustchallenge #augustbookchallenge

Aku menangis bukan sebab sedih tapi expectation aku tinggi sangat pada penulis. Mengisahkan Imrah yang mengejar cita-citanya dalam pelajaran walau pun menghadapi kesukaran pada awalnya. Dibesarkan di kampung dengan keluarga yang konvesional pemikirannya. Berumah tangga kemudiannya, dengan orang asing dan berlaku konflik rumah tangga antara mereka menyebabkan perpisahan. Di waktu kesukaran itulah, dia terpaksa bersalin seorang diri di hospital dan kehilangan anak lelakinya itu. Dengan azam yang tebal, dia berjaya melanjutkan pelajaran hingga ke menara gading. Di saat sudah selesa dengan pelajarannya, dia bertemu semula dengan Lawrence, suaminya. Walau pun tidak pernah bercerai, dia berasa berat hati juga untuk menerima cinta suaminya lagi tapi akhirnya dia berjaya juga memaafkan diri sendiri serta suaminya itu.  Berat hati aku nak baca bahagian kedua. Mungkin ini bukan karya terbaiknya. Kenapa agaknya barcode buku ni tiada dalam goodreads. . . #donereading The Missing Piece 1 by Fatimah Busu #readingisfundamental #readingislife #readingisfun #readingissexy #readingismagic #readingchallenge2020📚 #igreads #bookstagram #goodreads #emabaca #themissingpiece #fatimahbusu #citrakurniaenterprise #malaysiamembaca #bangsamembaca #keepcalmandread #augustbookchallenge https://www.instagram.com/p/CEOZQ-Fl23d/?igshid=ku2vawgjzsxf

I planned my room new the other day. For the third time in a year 😅 But since my brother moved back in with us, I've got a room less to plan with, which means strike the library and find room for my books in my bedroom. I think I made it work. Let's hope I can actually realise it this time. 😂 * #augustlibrary17 Day 24: Rainbow * #bookstagram #bookish #booklover #bookworm #booklr #books #bibliophile #augustbookchallenge #bookstagrammer #booklove #booksofinstagram #instabook #read #reading #reader #buch #bücher #lesen #bookstagramfeature  #bookphotography #leser #igbooks #bookishallure #bookishrainbow #bookrainbow

Book Phone Challenge 08.30.17

While most of Jay Z supporters was busy enjoying the veteran artist 13th studio album ‘4:44′. With music themed around “Financial Freedom”, “Legacy Building” & “Self Worth” laced with samples from 1970′s blues, soul & reggae. However cultivating, its the stand out track ‘The O.J. Story’ that borrowed samples from ‘Four Women’ by Nina Simone that caused quite a uproar when Jay Z raps “ Y'all on the ‘Gram holdin’ money to your ear /There’s a disconnect, we don’t call that money over here, yeah “ got responds from multiple celebrities, Insta-Famous Celebs & Insta-Famous-WannaBe’s taking offense. But shortly after the negativity drowned out by music legend Lord Jamar  who went to Instagram July 29th and posted a photo with a stack of books to his ear with a caption that read “On my BOOK PHONE… the KNOWLEDGE is callin!!!” , this post went viral overnight with the internet tagging it the #BookPhoneChallenge.
