QOTD- at what age did you start reading? I sped QOTD- at what age did you start reading? I sped up video, it's still a little long but i couldn't resist sharing this. It's such a lovely feeling to see kid reading and showing interest in books. She doesn't like reading prepositions or she skips them and rush to read words as her eyes keep wandering. I doubt she completely understands what she is reading but i still feel proud she could read and tries to read new words on her own.

Many thanks @penguinsters for review copy. 𝙕𝙚𝙣 by @shabnamminwalla ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Zen is beautiful, deep, well-written mix of contemporary and historical fiction that cleverly blends the lives of two girls with the same name from different time periods, Mumbai in 1935 and Mumbai in 2019, and how political changes in India affect their lives along with family drama and romance. Writing is beautiful, realistic, and steady-paced with dual timeline. The present is written in third person narrative mostly from Zainab Currimji, aka Zen’s perspective while the past is written in diary format from Zainab Essaji’s perspective. I loved the mixed media format in the book. Apart from the diary format, there is text messages, newspaper articles, and phone call conversations that made the story more interesting and also helped to know other characters better. I also loved black pages that were written from a dead person’s perspective and the identity of that person was revealed in the climax. The setting of Mumbai is perfectly written. Author perfectly captures the nuance of Mumbai in different era. I also loved the chapters titled under different colors which also played an important role in past Zainab’s life and each chapter opened with song lyrics and snippets. It’s clear from the beginning both Zainabs are related. I was more interested to see how Zen is going to find that out and what happened to the past Zainab, if she found her happily ever after, how the current situation affects Zen, and if she too can hope to love- amid all the controversies, prejudice and judgments- that too from a boy whose father is extremely right-wing. I loved both Zen in the present and Zainab in the past. The family dynamic of both Zainabs was equally interesting. I also loved how the author included other characters that both Zainabs meet in their everyday life. The theme and layers were amazing. I love how the topic was realistic and moreover, I love reading it from Indian Muslim’s perspective. Even with all the serious topics and themes of the book, there are many lighthearted, positive and uplifting scenes. ... 𝙌𝙊𝙏𝘿- Which is your favorite book set in India? ....

I still need to read last 200 pages. I'm starting Lovelight Farms by B. K. Borison simultaneously as I have tour next week. I'm pretty excited to buddy read Bloodmarked by Tracy Deonn. I think I remember most of things from Legendborn and hopefully I wouldn't have to go back to it while reading this. The Benevolent Society of Ill-mannered Ladies by Alison Goodman is historical fiction featuring fierce women of Victorian era. Sounds exactly my kind of book. The Prince of Secrets by A. J. Lancaster is sequel of Lord of Stariel i read in may. It's a cozy fantasy. I liked Wyn in first book and secret he was keeping was interesting but i still would like to know him more. Hopefully this book is more about him. I also plan to finish this series this month so will read next installment Stariel Quartet, The Court of Mortals. .....
