IMWAYR-24/07/2017

Hey everyone! I'm linking up with Kathryn@Book Date again this week to share an update of my reading week with you.

I finished reading "The Gallery of Unfinished Girls" by Lauren Karcz- a young adult book I received for review from HarperCollins through Edelweiss.


I finished reading "The Secret History of Us" by Jessi Kirbi- another YA book I received for review through Edelweiss. You can expect my review by 30th July 2017. 

I'm (still) currently reading "I, Eliza Hamilton" by Susan Holloway Scott- a historical fiction about Alexander Hamilton's wife, another Edelweiss review copy. (This counts as a Big Book for Sue's challenge)

I began reading "Nothing" by Annie Barrows, (Review copy) a story about young book lovers that has me really intrigued. I haven't had much time for regular reading this week, but next week I hope to pick up "The Dream Thieves" by Maggie Stiefvater. 


I hope you've all had a great reading week as well! I'm looking forward to visiting your blogs and hearing all about them!

  1. I, Eliza Hamilton is going right onto the wishlist. Stage one of the move is complete. We're out of our house and now we're trying to get it ready to put on the market. Come see what I'm reading.

    1. I agree with you-so far the Annie Barrows book is "not too bad"- I'm not really enjoying it as much as I expected to.

  5. Keen to see what you thought of The Secret History Of Us. I just read that one too.

    Happy Monday!

  6. I'm getting a mystery/thriller vibe from The Secret History of Us cover. I just finished a thriller myself and kept thinking I needed to pick up the genre more. I hope I, Eliza Hamilton turns out to be a fantastic read for you!

  7. Wow, so many good books! And another Big Book - good for you! The Dream Thieves is great - the series gets weirder and weirder! (in a good way)

    Enjoy your books -

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.
