POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

The #Bekindbookstagram challenge🧁✨☀️ (1st -5th December)
.
.
We’ve all been through a lot this year. We’ve endured so much that we surprise ourselves by dragging us out of the mess, getting up each morning and being hopeful that this will get better. All of us had something in common. We looked forward to finding an escape through this community. But from the last few months, Bookstagram had become suffocating. We all know why. It’s because somewhere down the lane, we forgot why we created our account- For sharing our love for books.
.
@thedocreadstoomuch and I thought that this would be a good time to remind ourselves to be kind and make this community our ‘happy place’ again. The five prompts contain five acts of kindness- for you and for others💕

✨RULES:
1. Add a post OR story for the above prompts. There’s no compulsion as to what you should go for. Let your imagination run wild👯‍♀️
2. Use the hashtag #Bekindbookstagram and tag the hosts @howtobeabooknerd_ and @thedocreadstoomuch (Just so we can share everything that you hoomans create✨)
3. Follow our kind sponsors @thelilacski (The beautiful, new candle shop which is simply too underrated) and @kittiesandyarns (neeed I mention anything about how cute their products are?🥺)
4. Spread a lil happiness around because we all need it. This isn’t a competition so don’t stress yourself and relax for a while😊. We’re all in this for fun🎊

✨Why there won’t be any ‘points’:

-The entire point of this challenge is to act like a little break for the community. What’s better than making someone smile? There will be no ‘points’ kept. An act of kindness is surely remembered by those in need of it. All participants are equal :)
-Two randomly picked winners will get a ‘Red white and royal blue’ themed gift hamper from @thelilacski 💙
-One winner will get a set of coasters from @kittiesandyarns 🐱💜
-If a small business wishes to promote themselves here and co-sponsor this challenge, we’re totally up for it.
.
Will you be participating? Make your pledge today by sharing the prompts to your story👯‍♀️🎉

✿✿✿✿ BOOKSTAGRAM ANNIVERSARY POST ✿✿✿✿

Hello people!
Hope you all having a good time 💫
So, exactly one year ago, I had planned to create this account, and post book reviews here. I had the following things in mind, while creating this blog:

✯Reading, writing and photography had been a hobby, I thought to do something productive by utilizing these.
✯ To keep a track of all the books I have read and to write my thoughts about them, analyze them.
✯ People kept asking me for book recommendations, I thought that through this blog, it would be easier to guide people about what to read.
✯To interact with book readers from around the world, and discuss books.

And here is the bonus stuff I got from this blog~
✯ I had created a Goodreads challenge for the first time,I knew I won't be able to complete all of it, but still, I thought to give it a try. In January, I made the goal to read 20 books this year, and that actually happened, completed all 20 by September! The reason is, the motivation I get here by watching other people read, and tonnes of recommendations I get all the time.

✯Met some people who share other hobbies with me, besides reading, and that made this place even more fun. Got to interact with people not only from Pakistan, but from other places too and they made me learn many things, improve more.

✯ Lastly, this place is not only where I get to discuss books with bibliophiles, but also discuss so many other things like different social issues, politics, and that's how we share opinions. Plus, we keep joking and pulling each other's leg all the time XD , which adds to the fun 😂❤️
.
All in all, when I look back to the time I had thought to create this blog, I feel glad to have started it. It's a perfect hobby, fun and productive. Hope to continue this for as long as I can.
And, really, really grateful to all the people who supported me, made me learn so much, had a good laugh with me. Tagging some of those lovely people in this post. Without you guys, I don't think this blog would have been that fun. Lots of love, people ❤️And also really want to thank my followers too, for your support, for reading my thoughts and sharing yours. Let's stay connected!

𝐁𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐫:

𝙅𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙣𝙚𝙮:
Well it will be one year for me after two months. 🤐 I opened the door of bookstagram with the thought that I'll get good suggestions and info. About sales. I was Impressed by people's posts and reviews. I never had an idea that I'll be posting one day about any books or suggesting books to others. I'll tag all of them whom i personally like and was inspired.

𝘽𝙤𝙤𝙠𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙜𝙧𝙖𝙢 𝙥𝙞𝙘𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙚𝙨:
Well, the road was never easy. I still am a amateur reader who loves fantasy novels. But coming everyday with a post was a real challenge to me. Setting all the props, books, clicking pictures in different angles, sometimes the result is so poor that i feel so demotivating. My mother and sister helped me too with all the props . I know this is the story of every bookstagrammers. We are well known to : everything is perfect when picture is perfect. I never thought that I'll be putting any efforts in clicking pictures of books. As you know that my initial motive was to just check and nothing else.

𝙇𝙞𝙠𝙚𝙨, 𝙛𝙤𝙡𝙡𝙤𝙬𝙨 𝙙𝙤𝙚𝙨 𝙢𝙖𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙧:
I don't know about others but it matters a ton to me. It motivates me to keep going.

𝙊𝙗𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙘𝙡𝙚:
There are times when I feel so demotivating. And when it happens, i just read webtoon all day. Obstacles like:when you pay visit to your relative's home but forgets to bring any books, you read ebooks but people will still taunt you that you are always in phone even tho you will show proves. They won't believe that you can even read books in phone. Obstacles like schoolwork, collegeworks, no time to read any books and that stage is where i am now.

𝙁𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙙𝙨:
Consider yourself lucky if you have friends who love books and not go molding and bending books however they like. I luckily have few friends love books @rashmiitaa and @_a_professional_bookworm_ having a friend by your side when you need them the most is sone pe suhaaga. I'm so grateful to God to have them.

Ps: I've sincerely talked about my views. I do not intend to hurt anyone's feelings and sentiments. 💜

Book 11 of 2020 (July): 'Pride and Prejudice' by Jane Austen
🐧 Int'l Women's Day Classics Edition
Bought from Amazon in 2019

There is not much I can say of all the literary greatness of this book and why it truly deserves to be a classic. This book became very special to me because of how @themethodicalbibliophile introduced it to me, and because I could relate every tiny detail to our present life here. Their late 1700s-early 1800s society is still very similar and relatable to our present Naga society and dare I say the whole Northeast India, especially in our villages, sans the modern technology we enjoy. I loved the illustration of their cousin Mr. Collins the priest. So many Mr. Collinses around here.

Yes, I read this book really late in life, and this is also my first Jane Austen book. Surprise much? I have other things to do in life. But yes, I am glad I read it at a point in my life where I am beginning to lose hope in the potential of men, at how much better they can be if they choose to be. Men really need to read this book and learn from Mr. Darcy how to respect a woman. Men, you can be better, okay?

The most important lesson Elizabeth taught me was to have self-respect and grace, in the way she made decisions and admitted her mistakes and eloquently spoke up for herself. I need to expand my vocabulary.

Yes, I do not have a sister, but I felt so warm reading about the friendship of Jane and Elizabeth. They are love.

Also, reading Jane kept taking me back to all that Virginia Woolf said about how a woman who writes fiction needs a "A Room of One's Own." Jane could still write many classics even without a room of her own. Inspiring.

People who say they couldn't understand anything about this book, read it again with an open mind. It is not just a petty love story, it is pretty much a social commentary, written with an analytical view much ahead of its time.

So much more to say, but let's leave it for the comments section.

PS. Don't substitute the book for the movies and series, like I did. 🤭 go read.

Hey there, book dragons. I just wanted to thank everyone who showed so much love and support on my last post. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Hey guys! I hope you are doing well. I just finished reading a book and I'm super happy about that! Somedays I barely pick up a book because I tend to spend most of my time here. But I'm trying to strike a balance between the the two worlds.😌
.
A while ago @bookedbypragya tagged me in #redandblackstack challenge so here's my stack! I mostly read on Kindle, that's why I don't have many paper books with me. I tried my best with what I had! I'm in the process of acquiring more hard copies. I don't know if you guys have done this challenge but I'm tagging a few of you here. Feel free to do it if you want or ignore if you have done this already.😁
.
The books in the stack include:
.
🍁 Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy- A great classic I finished this year. It gave me the confidence that I can finish big books too!
.
🍁 Word Power Made Easy by Norman Lewis- A very interesting and enriching book you'll ever read for vocabulary. You'll learn not only new words but also how words originated from their roots.
.
🍁 Latitudes of Longing by Shubhangi Swarup- Going to read this pretty soon!
.
🍁 The Secret by Rhonda Byrne- A highly recommended book I don't think I'll ever read. (Never say never!) I don't believe in Law of Attraction. Now that's a bold statement but I do think it works but only for certain people. I could write a whole essay on why I don't believe in it. Maybe I'll do it someday.
.
🍁 Siddhartha by Herman Hesse- Just finished reading this and I'm trying to get my thoughts in order to write about it. This will be my next review post.
.
An update- From this point on, I'll post my pictures with a certain theme. I have been trying to find a way to create a feed that showcases the best of my abilities and my individuality and I think I have finally found it! I'm so excited to see how it all turns out. Also, I want to thank you guys for being with me and I would really appreciate it if you decided to stick around!❤️🥰
.
Happy Reading!😊💫

"Old stories have a habit of being told and retold and changed. Each subsequent storyteller puts his or her mark upon it. Whatever truth the story once had is buried in bias and embellishment. The reasons do not matter as much as the story itself."

Erin Morgenstern, The Night Circus

I was tagged by Komal @pickupbooks to do the #blackbookstack challenge. Thanks for the tag komal, I am further tagging others to take up this challenge. I am really excited to see what you guys come up with.

Not the usual long caption today, just a few fun questions.

i) Which of these books are my absolute favourites?
.
ii) One of these books was a disappointing read. Can you tell which one? (Hint : It's one of the stack ones, but not a classic.)
.
iii) See any of your favourites here, mention them in the comments section.

Hope everyone is hacking away at their TBR piles.

Stay Home, Stay Safe.

Always Wear a mask when you go out.

See you in the next one.
