This book has been on my wishlist for a few months. Have heard nothing but good things about it. Time to move it to my shopping cart I guess.

Read this a couple of years ago and loved it. Unpredictable. #Booksky #Books

Such a great read. I loved it. 1984 vibes. #Booksky #Books

I would like to mention one and I watched it in an empty theatre all by myself. It was Lars von Trier's 2000 classic 'Dancer In The Dark' starring #Björk as Selma Ježková. And what an emotional gut punch that movie was. #LarsVonTrier #DancerInTheDark

Granddad and parents. Growing up I would only get books as gifts on birthdays. Really miss those days.

Karpe is awesome. I discovered them when they did a collab with Coke Studio Pakistan and have been listening to them since that song 'Piya Piya Calling' came out.

Wow. Going on my TBR right away. #Booksky #TBR

2 and 4 for sure. Extra couple of hours to read will help me get through my TBR in a reasonable amount of time. And to be able to remember everything I ever read will be pure bliss.

I have high hopes. I am sure Carney will deliver.

Great book. I have read it a couple of times. And you are right. Definitely holds up today. #TheHouseOfStairs #Booksky #Books

Hard to say for sure as growing up I was always surrounded by books and readers, but 'The Famous Five' series by Enid Blyton definitely played a part. #Booksky #Books

I'd go for the palate cleanser personally, but if the first one was really good, go for book 2. #Booksky

Octavia Butler was an awesome writer. Her imagination, world-building, and attention to sensitive details put her right up there with the best of the best. #Booksky #OctaviaButler

Thank you for the follow. This is actually a reread for me. I also read it several years ago. Feels good to revisit a classic and discover what I had forgotten.

Great initiative. I love it. Are there plans to accept submissions from artists from other countries also?

Found out today I didn't get the job I internally applied for at my company. Very disappointed but time to move on.

I recommend 'Anxious People' by Fredrik Backman. Not exactly literary fiction, but a great book. #Booksky
