If you want to choke on tears read Yellow Crocus by Laila Ibrahim (book 1 in the series but can be read as a standalone too).... I'm reading the second book in the series and it's equally heart wrenching!

Really enjoyed headshot. The city of Reno was overrated, the boxing ring was dilapidated, the coaches were useless and the family and friends were undependable. The eight women who were in the ring however were very real and they were giving it all they had to win.

Ooooo nice! I heard good things not excellent things but the idea of it got me really excited. So I'm glad you really enjoyed it. lol gives me more hope.

Orbital was a big miss for me. While yes, the writing was beautiful, NOTHING HAPPENS, I'm not exaggerating there is not a single iota of plot in it. Fortunately for me since it was only 130 pages i was able to push through it, but i can't say i really gained anything from it outside of a few "oh that was such a beautiful line" moments

P Manjunath is the most adorable character ever. I loved how he thought. I loved letting him take me to weird places. Amazing character. 10/10 could relate. Not annoying. Also, there isnt a 'point' to Manjunath being written like that!! He just is like that!
@amoe37633 ай бұрын
To give you a bit more context, Kanan likes absurdist comedy and Manjunath is perfectly absurd. Maybe having this knowledge (and what absurd comedy is) going into the book helps in enjoying a character so well written like Manjunath.
@SantReads3 ай бұрын
No, i get it. Absurdist humour is great. I love it as well. My favourite book is Hitchhikers Guide. Maybe Manjunath just wasn't fully my cup of tea. Not like I'd outright reject that cup of tea. Just something I'd sip warily. 😳😂
