INFINITE COUNTRY BY PATRICIA ENGEL | THOUGHTS

Posted on March 10, 2022
Published : 2021 || Format : print || Location : Colombia ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆
What was it about the country that kept everyone hostage to its fantasy? The
previous month, on its own soil, an American man went to his job at a plant and
gunned down fourteen coworkers, and last spring alone there were four different
school shootings. A nation at war with itself, yet people still spoke of it as
some kind of paradise.. Thoughts : Infinite Country follows two characters -
young Talia, who at the beginning of this book, escapes a girl’s reform school
in North Colombia so that she can make her previously booked flight to the US.
Before she can do that, she needs to travel many miles to reach her father and
get her ticket to the rest of her family. As we follow Talia’s treacherous
journey south, we learn about how she ended up in the reform school in the first
place and why half her family resides in the US. Infinite Country tells the
story of her family through the other protagonist, El

MARCH '22 READING PLANS

Posted on March 01, 2022
Look at me making reading plans here, when I'm reading at a snail pace.
Hilarious! Still, the act of making plans does make me want to read more, even
if that feeling lasts only a few days. February review This was my least read
February in years. My first half of a year are usually reading-heavy. But life
got in the way very early this time. Below is what I planned to read in February
and what I did read. Lots of abandons, which I'm not surprised by. The Song of
Achilles by Madeline Miller - read . it took me a while to finish this book,
but I loved reading every minute of it. Highly recommend! The Obelisk Gate by
N.K. Jemisin - reading Presence by Amy Cuddy - abandoned . I had plans to read
this book but I didn't get to it. I still plan to read it but maybe later. Half
of a Yellow Sun by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie - abandoned . This was a spillover
from January. I know I want to read this book one day, but I need to get off my
scifi/fantasy kick first. Deadpool Classic

AND THERE GOES FEBRUARY | WEEKLY SNAPSHOT

Posted on February 27, 2022
This month sure went by quickly. Around us I just want to take a moment and
share just how distressed I am reading about the war in Ukraine. I know that
feeling is nothing compared to the terror that the people in Ukraine are going
through. To think that a nation can choose to attack another, just because they
believe the latter is not legit. I have no words. I pray that it ends soon but I
also know I will be incensed if Putin walks free after all this. Meanwhile,
nearby in Texas, we have the governor opining that gender affirming care is
child abuse. I don't know if I mentioned this on the blog but a few months ago,
my city had passed an ordinance criminalizing abortion. (Thankfully all the
proponents of that law got booted out within a month (in last year's elections)
and the new council promptly removed that ordinance. Nation or persons choosing
to believe that another nation or person are not legit. This is what comes out
of this. Just how long does one have to fight for t

THE FIFTH SEASON BY N. K. JEMISIN | THOUGHTS

Posted on February 23, 2022
Published : 2015 || Format : ebook || Location : A different Earth One
line summary : When the world is ending, what is more important - survival or
revenge? If you are Essun, your answer may be revenge, but in her search for it,
she has to figure out how to survive as well. ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ Home is what you take
with you, not what you leave behind. Thoughts : I must have had this book on my
Kindle ever since it was released. There was a lot of hype then and although I
always enjoy epic fantasy series, I don’t read them often enough due to having
to wait for the next book (in the case of ongoing series) or not being sure if
the series is for me (even though I know I don't need to read the rest of the
series, it still feels like a commitment). This quarter, one of my online book
clubs is reading N.K. Jemisin’s The Broken Earth Trilogy . I decided it was
finally time to read the books. First of all, trigger warnings - there is a lot
about child abuse, endangerment, and murder i

WHO DEY! | WEEKLY SNAPSHOT

Posted on February 13, 2022
Woot, I have no idea where the week went. Life and Work I had several work
situations pop up this week and that severely derailed my routines this week. We
had to support releases to one of our customers in Singapore this week which
made for extremely long days and nights. It was exhausting. I feel for those who
had to do this multiple days and are working through the weekend as well. After
five busy days, I ended up lounging around on Saturday feeling aimless but also
not wanting to be in front of the computer for any reason. We got some crazy
amount of snow last week. It started off as icy precipitation, due to which
schools were called off and everyone was encouraged to stay home. Snow came much
later which caused one more day to be called off. The kids had a ton of fun
playing in the snow. It was too cold but it was fun as well. It's Who Dey,
SunDey! Well well well to those who follow, it's Super bowl tonight. This is one
term you haven't heard me use on this blog befor

FEBRUARY '22 READING PLANS

Posted on February 03, 2022
And just like that, we are into February. January review I got some reading done
in January but it wasn't as much as I wanted to. Most of the first half went
into reading There There , which I hoped was a quick read but turned out to be a
book I could only read a few pages at a time. By the time I finished it, I was
in real danger of being in a slump, but thankfully I gave The Fifth Season a few
pages - that one pulled me in from the beginning and never let go. I'm still in
the book hangover and cannot wait to read the sequel. This is what I planned to
read in January: There There by Tommy Orange - read The Fifth Season by N.K.
Jemisin - read The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller - currently reading Hotel
Du Lac by Anita Brookner Half of a Yellow Sun by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
Deadpool Classic Vol. 2, 3, 4 Other books read: Are We There Yet? by Nina Laden
Frozen Olaf's Night Before Christmas The New One Minute Manager by Ken Blanchard
Saga issue 55 by Brian Vaug

DOWN WITH THE SNIFFLES | WEEKLY SNAPSHOT

Posted on January 23, 2022
Hello fellow readers and bloggers! Sorry I'm late getting the post up this week.
Life Since the last three days, my husband and I have been down with the
sniffles, congestion, and occasionally fever as well. My husband took a test and
thankfully it was negative. It doesn't make it feel any more bearable though - I
spent much of yesterday sleeping - but today it looks like I'm on the bend. I
just hope the kids don't catch it too. Not much of significance this week. The
husband and I have been talking about investing in real estate for a while. We
had been looking at properties for weeks and had put in offers for couple of
them this past week. One of them didn't pan out but the other did. So we are
pretty excited about starting this new chapter. Shopping for an investment
property is such a complete different ballgame from buying a house. For
starters, it doesn't help to visualize living in the property simply because my
needs could be different from those of a t
