Who else is a wee bit obsessed with cats at the moment? 😅

April 25th, 2019 || I finished this book yesterday and unfortunately it was such an underwhelming experience for me. I was completely unmoved by the story and even now, I don’t know how to write a full review of it because I don’t have much to say about it. It was just one of those books you read in your reading lifetime which you forget the second you turn the last page. It’s not a bad written book, it’s just one that didn’t make me feel anything 🙃 . . What was the last book that left you indifferent? • • • #theguestcat #takashihiraide #japaneseliterature #translatedfiction #unitedbookstagram #booksoutside #booksandcoffee #adayinbooklandreviews #booksonbooks (en Pelicano) https://www.instagram.com/adayinbookland/p/BwrK98HH1oO/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=u58qbakvmkw6

Had to put our cat down today. She has been sick for a while. The cat on this book looks just like her. That's not the only reason I love this book, the prose and translation is excellent, mesmerizing of a simpler time. . . . #theguestcat #theguestcatbook #vikhachmeo #takashihiraide #chatsach #bookchat #quotesfrombooks #bookcat #catliterature #japaneseliterature https://www.instagram.com/p/CICCrVshhVY/?igshid=1ex6rpk5575q9

Can a #cat change your life? Can they make it more worthwhile? Do they leave a hole in your heart when they're gone? The Guest Cat, by Takashi Hiraide (translated by Eric Selland 👍) is my weekend's read. #readmorebooks #readmore #leemás #leemáslibros #theguestcat #takashihiraide #catliterature https://www.instagram.com/p/CAk3sCyDRBn/?igshid=fsdetu1o5a0a

🇬🇧 As part of my #japaneseliterature project, i’m reading #theguestcat by #takashihiraide this month. The thing is whenever i read a book about cats i just want to hug a cat and just be in that moment. Then i cry a little cause my cat is with my family now, i just miss him so much, it hurts. Oh well... . I have heard great things about this book. Have you read it? 🐱 . 🇹🇷 #japonedebiyatı projem için bu ay ne yazık ki dilimize henüz çevrilmemiş bir kitap seçtim. Başlığından ve kapağından da anlayacağınız üzere başrolde bir kedi var. Ne zaman kedilerle ilgili bir kitap okusam yanımda bir kedi olsun ve ona sarılayım istiyorum. Sonra biraz ağlıyorum çünkü oğlumu ailemle bırakmak zorunda kaldığım geliyor aklıma. Onu o kadar çok özlüyorum ki canım acıyor. Eh yapacak bir şey yok... Kediniz varsa ona sıkı sıkı sarılın olur mu? Biraz rahatsız olmalarından bir şey olmaz. 🐱 Siz neler okuyorsunuz? 🌿 . #readersofinstagram #okumahalleri #kitap #bookish #readingnow #amreading #lovebooks #lovecats #okuyorum #bookcover https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn6IrnLnPlc/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1b52alu8nhuyh

May 25th, 2019 || READING WRAP UP n°6! . 🌻 The Guest Cat. I was completely unmoved by this. Don’t even know how to rate it because I don’t think it was unnecessarily a bad book, it’s just one that didn’t do anything for me. 🌻 Th Silence of the Girls. This wasn’t bad but didn’t live up to my expectations. The title is fitting though.... the girls indeed stay silent. I was expecting a retelling focusing on the women but instead it focused on Achilles 🙃. Nothing wrong with that, but not tue story I was expecting (5.5/10). 🌻 The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart. The writing and the characters were the best bits about this novel. Narratively speaking, it had loads of holes. There were too many narrative shifts that sometimes didn’t make any sense and the ending felt too rushed (6.5/10). 🌻 The Remains of the Day. Throughout the whole book I kept thinking this was a nice story discussing interesting themes but not something special... until the ending, which left a heavy impression on me. I’m still ruminating about it (7.5/10). 🌻 Malamander. I picked this the other day in Waterstones because the cover caught my attention. Children’s books are always tricky to rate as an adult but I did enjoy the story and I think it’s one children will love (7.5/10) . What books have you finished recently? • • • #readingwrapup #adayinbooklandreviews #bookstack #stackofbooks #thesilenceofthegirls #theguestcat #theremainsoftheday #thelostflowersofalicehart #malamander #childrensbook #womensprize #manbooker #fortheloveofreading https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx4b1XVIzjX/?igshid=1pg25dxz871u6
