Ep 99: Romance Recommendations

I have some meet-cute layered romance books for you. Pick them up between heavy and sad reads. They will cheer you up! Books I recommend: Book Lovers by Emily Henry I Kissed Shara Wheeler by Casey McQuiston The Flat Share by Beth  O'Leary The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood (You can get Adam's perspective chapter if you sign up on Hazelwood's website)

Ep 98: Tell the Wolves I'm Home

This was long due! After such a long time, I found a book I really love. I think it was always in front of me I just needed to pay attention.  I would have loved to see the portrait Finn paints of June and her sister.  Also playing in the woods, pretending to be a 19th-century character- love it!

Ep 97: Reading African Literature

Hey! I am finally talking about the paper I wrote for Post Colonial Theory, not all of it. In this episode, I talk about Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi The Death of Vivek Oji by Akwaeke Emezi Purple Hibiscus by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and her TED talk 'Danger of a Single Story' For more about African Literature, you can read books by Chinua Achebe and Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o

Ep 96: Gender is an Act

Heya! Long time no see! I am back from whatever that held me back from talking about books again.  I am done with my Masters in English and have started working. Since this is Pride Month, I wanted to start by talking about a though provoking essay by Judith Butler- “Performative Acts and Gender Constitution: An Essay in Phenomenology and Feminist Theory” It's a little complex but if you understand even half of what I talk about, do try to read up more about it. Next up: African Literature.

Ep 95: We Are Okay!

Hey nerds! I read We Are Okay by Nina LaCour and here's the review without any spoilers!
