Iโ€™m still struggling to let go of There Are Rivers in the Sky by Elif Shafak. Such beautiful storytelling. I spent over a month with that book, and my interest never wavered. Truly, some authors are just gifted!

To ease myself away from Mesopotamia and its ancient echoes, Iโ€™ve decided to dive straight into fantasy. Already two chapters in, and I can feel myself getting swept away again.

The adopted human daughter of the Nightborn vampire king, Oraya carved her place in a world designed to kill her. Her only chance to become something more than prey is entering the Kejari: a legendary tournament held by the goddess of death herself.

But winning won't be easy, pitting Oraya against the most vicious warriors from all three vampire houses. To survive, she will be forced to make an alliance with a mysterious rival.Everything about Raihn is dangerous. He is a ruthless vampire, an efficient killer, an enemy to her father's crown - and her greatest competition. Yet, what terrifies Oraya most of all is that she finds herself oddly drawn to him.

But there's no room for compassion in the Kejari - and nothing more deadly than love . . .

Seven teens arrive for a school retreat - only to find an abandoned motel and a sinister text message waiting for them: I know what you did a year ago.

Each of the seven buried a guilty secret about their tragic school fire. And now someone is out for revenge.

Every hour they must choose the guiltiest one among them to cross over the white line that circles the motel and be killed. Otherwise, they all die.

But who deserves to live, and who to die? Because only one of them can survive...

DO YOU DARE ENTER THE CIRCLE OF LIARS?

My most anticipated release of the year (well, at least this half of it ๐Ÿ˜‰)! I was secretly hoping Iโ€™d be one of the lucky ones to receive this book, and here it is! Iโ€™m absolutely over the moonโ€ฆ so much so, I just might pull a little LIFO move ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜…

Iโ€™m still caught up in the clutches of another read, but the moment Iโ€™m free, Iโ€™m diving straight into this beauty. Canโ€™t wait to reunite with Robert Langdon!

Jason and his Argonauts set sail to find the Golden Fleece. The journey is filled with danger, for him and everyone he meets. But if he ever reaches the distant land he seeks, he faces almost certain death.

Medea โ€“ priestess, witch, and daughter of a brutal king โ€“ has the power to save the life of a stranger. Will she betray her family and her home, and what will she demand in return?

Medea and Jason seize their one chance of a life together, as the gods intend. But their love is steeped in vengeance from the beginning, and no one โ€“ not even those closest to them โ€“ will be safe.

Healer Anja regularly drinks poison.

Not to die, but to save - seeking cures for those everyone else has given up on.

But a summons from the King interrupts her quiet, herb-obsessed life. His daughter, Snow, is dying, and he hopes Anjaโ€™s unorthodox methods can save her.

Aided by a taciturn guard, a narcissistic cat, and a passion for the scientific method, Anja rushes to treat Snow, but nothing seems to work. That is, until she finds a secret world, hidden inside a magic mirror. This dark realm may hold the key to what is making Snow sick.

Or it might be the thing that kills them all.

In the ancient city of Nineveh, on the bank of the River Tigris, King Ashurbanipal of Mesopotamia, erudite but ruthless, built a great library that would crumble with the end of his reign. From its ruins, however, emerged a poem, the Epic of Gilgamesh, that would infuse the existence of two rivers and bind together three lives. 

In 1840 London, Arthur is born beside the stinking, sewage-filled River Thames. With an abusive, alcoholic father and a mentally ill mother, Arthurโ€™s only chance of escaping destitution is his brilliant memory. When his gift earns him a spot as an apprentice at a leading publisher, Arthurโ€™s world opens up far beyond the slums, and one book in particular catches his interest: Nineveh and Its Remains.

In 2014 Turkey, Narin, a ten-year-old Yazidi girl, is diagnosed with a rare disorder that will soon cause her to go deaf. Before that happens, her grandmother is determined to baptize her in a sacred Iraqi temple. But with the rising presence of ISIS and the destruction of the familyโ€™s ancestral lands along the Tigris, Narin is running out of time. 

In 2018 London, the newly divorced Zaleekah, a hydrologist, moves into a houseboat on the Thames to escape her husband. Orphaned and raised by her wealthy uncle, Zaleekah had made the decision to take her own life in one month, until a curious book about her homeland changes everything. 

A dazzling feat of storytelling, There Are Rivers in the Sky entwines these outsiders with a single drop of water, a drop which remanifests across the centuries. Both a source of life and harbinger of death, riversโ€”the Tigris and the Thamesโ€”transcend history, transcend fate: โ€œWater remembers. It is humans who forget.โ€

Thriller Thursday is back! ๐Ÿ”ช๐Ÿ“š
I picked up a Patricia Cornwell book which is a total high school throwback. Iโ€™m definitely still planning to finish it (Scarpetta is iconic for a reason), but it made me realize how much thrillers have evolved... or maybe how much I have? 

Cornwellโ€™s writing is forensic, detailed, and a slow, deliberate burn.. a methodical unraveling. But lately, Iโ€™ve been deep in bingeable reads from the likes of Lisa Jewell, Megan Miranda, and Shari Lapena. The kind of thrillers that throw you straight into the drama by page one.

Itโ€™s wild how our reading tastes shift over time. I still admire Cornwellโ€™s craft, but these days, Iโ€™m leaning more toward fast-paced plots with immediate hooks and jaw-dropping twists.

Anyone else noticed this change in what keeps them turning pages? 2025-08-07 15:25:18 โœจ.. 136 +0% 3 +27%

Vimbai, a final-year law student, at the University of Zimbabwe, is determined not to join the long line of unemployed graduates. She would rather trade sexual favors to get a job than go back to living with her aunt-turned-stepmother.

Unlike her roommate, Nosihle, the good girl who mistakenly falls in love with the wrong man, Vimbai prides herself  on being pragmatic. Even if that means making an enemy out of Ruby, the spoilt socialite who is leading a double life. But in Vimbai's search for someone who can offer her the opulence and grandeur of the Sunshine City, she dances too close to the sun, burns, and gets plunged into the shadows that lurk in the underbelly of her dream city.

Now Vimbai is faced witg two choices: will she opt for a fairytale love or the ominous allure of the shadows?

We live in a world thatโ€™s obsessed with talent. We celebrate gifted students in school, natural athletes in sports, and child prodigies in music. But admiring people who start out with innate advantages leads us to overlook the distances we ourselves can travel. We can all improve at improving. And when opportunity doesnโ€™t knock, there are ways to build a door.
 
Hidden Potential offers a new framework for raising aspirations and exceeding expectations. Adam Grant weaves together groundbreaking evidence, surprising insights, and vivid storyยญtelling that takes us from the classroom to the boardroom, the playground to the Olympics, and underground to outer space. He shows that progress depends less on how hard you work than how well you learn. Growth is not about the genius you possess โ€“ itโ€™s about the character you develop. Grant explores how to build the characยญter skills and motivational structures to realize our own potential, and how to design systems that create opportunities for those who have been underrated and overlooked.
 
This book reveals how anyone can rise to achieve greater things. The true measure of your potential is not the height of the peak youโ€™ve reached, but how far youโ€™ve climbed to get there.

I couldn't decide on which local book to pick next until I saw a package I received recently but hadn't sorted out. Inside was this gorgeous purple number. And as a thirty-something it drew me in..

 Four thirty-something girlfriends navigate the complexities of love and life in upmarket Johannesburg.

Nomzamo yearns to have her own child, but her husband keeps postponing. Is he truly too busy or is something else going on? Kioni is in seventh heaven when Michael finally wants to commit. But does he really? Or is he just trying to get back into her bed? Single mom Jazmine has sworn off love โ€“ until a charming new doctor arrives at her hospital, testing her resolve. And Asanda, fiercely independent and at the top of her game, is determined to find the perfect man to match her perfect life. As their lives twist and tangle in unexpected ways, these four women will discover that love is never simple โ€“ but always worth it.

I flew through Making A Killing by Bonnie Espie and enjoyed every second of it.

I really hope this becomes a series because Iโ€™ve found a new favourite local author. Winifred and Sylvie make such a memorable duo! What they got up to in this book canโ€™t just end here and letโ€™s not forget the unexpected mystery around the dog food... I wasnโ€™t ready ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜

The ending completely caught me off guard. I was expecting a twist, but that twist? Not even close to what I imagined. All my little theories went up in smoke (poof) and I loved that.

Itโ€™s a quick, light read with just the right balance of dark humour and small-town charm. The friendship between the two leads is an opposites-attract delight, and the quirky villagers add an extra layer of fun.

Definitely one to pick up when youโ€™re in the mood for something smart, funny, and a little twisted. Highly recommend!

When bookish Winifred flees to a sleepy village to escape her past, she reluctantly partners with larger-than-life Sylvie to open a charming bookshop-cafรฉ. After the slight inconvenience of a dead customer threatens their new venture, the unlikely duo discover they have a talent for creative problem-solving - and disposal. Dark, witty and deliciously macabre, this tale of murder, friendship and small-town secrets will leave you hungry for more.

Letโ€™s normalize a few things.
For starters: listening to an audiobook, loving it so much, and then buying the physical copy. Because it deserves a spot on the shelf. ๐Ÿ“šโœจ

I bought #InfiniteCountry by Patricia Engel for the shelf and #ThePromise by Damon Galgut because it won the Booker Prize in 2021.

My bookshelf is dedicated to the brave youth of 1976. We wouldn't be here without your sacrifice.

Today, I finally tackled something Iโ€™ve been putting off: sorting out my bookshelf. Itโ€™s been a mess since we moved in two weeks ago, and only now did I get around to it.

My reading has been a bit off lately, but Iโ€™ll get back on that wagon eventually. For now, whatever sticks, sticks. ๐Ÿ“šโœจ

Do you believe in the LIFO - Last In First Out๐Ÿ˜…

I'm so tempted to jump right into this one. I trust Olivie Blakes ability to pull me out of the shadows. 

Read this:
This is the story of three siblings who, upon the death of their father, are forced to reckon with their long-festering rivalries, dangerous abilities and the crushing weight of all their unrealized adolescent potential.

Yep, LIFO it is!
