Main Physical TBR
When Dimple Meet Rishi by Sandhya Menon
Pages: 380pages
Opinion: I totally loved this book. Dimple is such a feminist and I loved it. I do not find her mean at all.
The Loney by Andrew Michael Hurley
Pages: 368 pages
Opinion: I felt this book was kind of a waste of my time. It’s meant to be a gothic horror, but I felt this was more of a standard fiction book with a very open ending and very heavy on religion. I wasnt a fan.
I Can’t Make This Up: Life Lessons by Kevin Hart
Pages: 400pages, Audiobook: 11h 15min
Opinion: I very much enjoyed this listen as Kevin Hart narrates it himself.
Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi
Pages: 341 pages
Opinion: I truly enjoyed this read and the format of the story. I didn’t know much about the Iranian revolution and this book gave me an insight into why, where and how and how people reacted to it. It was very good 😁
One Day in December by Josie Silver
Pages: 432 pages
Opinion: A cute chick lit with a different format and realistic characters. I did a full review here.
Let Her Fly by Ziauddin Yousafzi with
Pages: 240 pages
Opinion: This was a strong, emotional short story about a father’s journey of becoming a feminist in a male-dominated country.
And if you think you recognise the girl on the cover, you are right. That’s Malala. And this book is written by her father 😁
A total of 2161 pages…!!!
That’s insane!
It does include the audiobook which is 400p, but still, 1700 pages is a lot in 7 days.
I’m lost for words.
Anyone else joining the Contemporary-a-thon?
Have any of you done any readathons so far this year? How did you do? Did you enjoy it?
Congrats! That’s an INSANE amount of pages XD

Congratulations!!! It’s too bad you didn’t like The Loney, I had high hopes for that one and have been interested to pick it up for a while. But I sometimes get the same thing where I had hoped a book was creepy and dark when it turned out to be “meh”.

Thanks! Yeah I know. Maybe I read too many dark YA fantasy stuff and therefore don’t get creeped out by “normal” scary fiction? 😂
