IMWAYR- 17/07/2017

I know I missed last week's update, but I didn't really have much to share. I've decided however, to keep everyone updated regardless of how many books I've finished.

I finished reading "Holding Up the Universe" by Jennifer Niven. Look out for a review- sometime in August! I have a lot of books to get through that I've been meaning to review but just haven't yet. They're all great books- so I really want to share them with you!


I also finished reading "The Ready-Made Thief" by Augustus Rose. It's a thriller that I received through Edelweiss. You can expect this review on Wednesday (19th July).

I am currently reading "I, Eliza Hamilton" by Susan Holloway Scott, another review copy from Edelweiss. This one is a historical fiction about the family of an American Founding Father. I know nothing about this time period, so I'm excited to get into it!

I hope you all enjoy your weeks and read plenty of great books! Thanks, Kathryn@Book Date for hosting this meme every week!

    1. Isn't it? I usually don't like covers with people on them- but this one adds such a great depiction of the time period.

  2. Even though I am not American I like books that are historical and focus on people. The Hamilton book looks very enticing.

    1. Well then you know more about her than I do Alicia! I've never studied American history- because I live all the way over in India!

  8. I didn't do an update this week because a) I was too busy and b) I didn't have much to share on the reading front!

    Hope you have a lovely week.

The Hero, by Rabindranath Tagore

 The narrative poem" The Hero" was written by Indian poet Rabindranath Tagore. Set in a young boy's imaginations this narrative has all the necessary elements and is rich in imagery. The characters, plot, setting, theme, climax and idea are all very clearly outlined.  The setting of the poem falls within the boy's imagination. It is described to have 'spiky grass' and a 'narrow broken path'. It is also mentioned that the country is 'strange and dangerous'. The rurality of the setting is further accentuated when Tagore talks of the 'cattle' and 'wide fields'.

One by Shawnee Kellie

  The poem "One" by Shawnee Kellie is a very interesting and thought-provoking piece of writing. The poem spreads the message that it is not only a large group of people that can make a change, but one idea, one thought, one human that can help make the world a better place. 

Coromandel Fishers by Sarojini Naidu

Hello! For this post I will be exploring another poem written by Sarojini Naidu, called "Coromandel Fishers". This poem can be taken as an allegory, for although it speaks to fishermen, it's metaphoric value speaks to the nation, and can be considered a wakening call for the people of our country. When I wrote about "In the Bazaars of Hyderabad", I mentioned that Sarojini Naidu was one of our freedom fighters, and believed greatly in the Swadeshi movement. Naidu reflects her passion for India in this poem.
