Its #NationalLibraryWeek and I can't help but shar Its #NationalLibraryWeek and I can't help but share my infinite love for San Francisco Public Library @sfpubliclibrary . It has been a place I missed the most through the last year. And I look forward to the day when we are all safe and can once again spend entire days reading and browsing books while connecting with other readers in the community at the library! ๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ“š

Sharing some of my fond memories here in the photos.

Reading a delicious suspenseful mystery novel is my #bookish heaven where I love to get lost (and not be disturbed). And Finlayโ€™s story was just that!ย Finlay Donovan Is Killing Itย by Elle Cosimano is a dark comedy meets murder mystery meets motherhood diaries meets romance. It is a great balance of all these and flows smoothly from chapter to chapter making us be curious, entertained, and laughing along the way!! ๐Ÿ“–โ™ฅ๏ธ

So go to my bio and check out the link for this amazing spoiler-free #bookreview . I was thrilled to connect with author @ellecosimano and ask her some questions about this stunning book and her experience in writing it. So thankful to Elle for sharing her responses and giving us #readers a treat!! Comment on the blog to share what you thought after reading this book and your favorites in the #mysterybooks and #suspensebooks genre! ๐Ÿค“๐Ÿ“š

She keeps an office in her sternum, the flat bone She keeps an office in her sternum, 
the flat bone in the center of her chest 
with all its urgent papers, 
vast appointments, lists of minor things.
In her vertebrae she holds more carnal tasks: 
milk jugs, rotten plants, heavy- bottomed toddlers 
in all their mortal rage.
She keeps frustration in her hallux:
senseless chatter, jealous fangs, 
the spikes of a dinosaurโ€™s tail. 
The belly is more complicatedโ€”
all heartache and ambition. 
Fires and tidal waves. 
In her pelvis she holds her labors, 
long and slippery. 
In her clavicle, silent things. 
(Money and power. 
Safety and choice. 
Tiny banquets of shame.) 
In her hands she carries their egos, small and flimsy. 
In her mouth she holds their laughter,
gentle currents, a cosmos of everything.

What Kind Of Woman is a stunning and honest debut poetry collection about the beauty and hardships of being a woman in the world today, and the many roles we play - mother, partner, and friend.๐Ÿงก Through poems that are as unforgettably beautiful as they are accessible, Kate Bear proves herself to truly be an exemplary voice in modern poetry. Her words make women feel seen in their own bodies, in their own marriages, and in their own lives. Her poems are those you share with your mother, your daughter, your sister, and your friends. 

"In these confident and fearless poems, Baer suggests that the deepest and most vulnerable love is found in life's imperfections." - @publisherswkly 

As we are at the end of March & #WomensHistoryMonth and welcoming summer through April #NationalPoetryMonth , I want to highlight this immensely engaging and impressive book that is hard to forget! I devoured every page of it and have kept it locked within my heart. Needless to say, go read it! ๐Ÿ“–โ™ฅ๏ธ

"For now just remember how you felt the day you were born: desperate for magic, ready to love." ~ Kate Baer @katejbaer

#NonFiction 

This month has been a month of revelations and eye-openers. Above all, it has been a month of education for me. I am so glad to have compiled a #TBR of books focusing on women stories that not only need to be read but really listened to and heeded for the betterment of the entire human race! ๐ŸŒ 

So now I have opened up a window into the lives of Muslim women through this incredibly important collection of essays featuring Muslim women's voices and their take on everything about them (which is surely more important than what literally everybody else thinks about how their lives or religious beliefs are). Coming from a different faith, it is all the more important for me to understand and educate myself about this leaving all my preconceived notions behind. I highly recommend you do the same and pick up this book! ๐Ÿ“–

Synopsis: In 2016, Mariam Khan read that the British Prime Minister David Cameron had linked the radicalization of Muslim men to the 'traditional submissiveness' of Muslim women. Mariam didn't know a single woman who would describe herself that way. Why was she hearing about Muslim women from people who were neither Muslim, nor female?

Taking one of the most politicized and misused words associated with Muslim women and Islamophobia, ๐˜๐˜ตโ€™๐˜ด ๐˜•๐˜ฐ๐˜ต ๐˜ˆ๐˜ฃ๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ๐˜ต ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜‰๐˜ถ๐˜ณ๐˜ฒ๐˜ข is poised to change all that. Here are voices you wonโ€™t see represented in the national news headlines: seventeen Muslim women speaking frankly about the hijab and wavering faith, about love and divorce, about feminism, queer identity, sex, and the twin threats of a disapproving community and a racist country. Funny, warm, sometimes sad, and often angry, each of these essays is a passionate declaration!โœ๏ธ๐Ÿง•

Memoirs have emerged to be a popular format in non-fiction books in recent times. Similar to autobiographies/biographies, it is a more raw, honest, and personal account of experiences through a time period in peopleโ€™s lives. Naturally with a mix of real inspiring life lessons and intimate storytelling, Memoirs have become my favorite in the last few years! ๐Ÿ“–

So check out my new blog post in honor of #WomensHistoryMonth featuring my recommendations for some stunningly written memoirs carrying motivating stories of women around the world! ๐ŸŒ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿฆฐ

From the former editor-in-chief of Nylon comes a provocative and intimate collection of personal and cultural essays featuring eye-opening explorations of hot button topics for modern women, including internet feminism, impossible beauty standards in social media, shifting ideals about sexuality, and much more. 

Both an in-your-face take on impossible beauty standards and entrenched media ideals and an inspiring call for personal authenticity, this powerful collection is ideal for fans of Roxane Gay and Rebecca Solnit.

#WomensHistoryMonth: ๐˜›๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜™๐˜ข๐˜ฎ๐˜ข #WomensHistoryMonth: ๐˜›๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜™๐˜ข๐˜ฎ๐˜ข๐˜บ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ข, one of the world's greatest epics, is also a tragic love story. In this brilliant retelling, @divakarunichitra places Sita at the center of the novel: this is ๐™Ž๐™ž๐™ฉ๐™–๐™ฎ๐™–๐™ฃ - a very human story of not only Sita but other women in the epic often misunderstood and relegated to the margins: Kaikeyi, Surpanakha, Urmila, Mandodhari. A powerful comment on duty, betrayal, infidelity and honour, it is about women's struggle to retain autonomy in a world that privileges men, as the author Chitra transforms an ancient story into a gripping, contemporary battle of wills. 

.

Read this whether you like mythology or not, read it whether you believe in God or not, read it whether you are a woman or not, read it because everyone regardless of their nationality, gender and beliefs needs to learn and understand and imbibe Sita's strength - for our generation and the future ones, for our daughters and sons to find resonance through this story in today's times. I am thoroughly enjoying this book and can't put it down! ๐ŸŒผ๐ŸŒฟ
