Rissa has come up in front of him. "Shall I dance for you?" She asks with a sultry smile, her blonde hair in long waves against her front, somewhat hiding her naked breasts.

Rasina tells a story from two POVs: from the POV of Joost Borstveld, a Dutch officer in Batavia in 1755 and from the POV of Hendriek Cornelis Adam, another Dutch officer in Banda circa 1621. What makes these two POVs intersected is the narration about slavery during the Dutch colonialism in Indonesia esp those coming from Banda; pointed in two aspects: the opium trade and the slavery. I am always amazed with Banu’s ways in depicting his story. He seems to drag his readers’ imagination and take them to experience the story themselves. Add his strength: his research on the specific matters he’s trying to convey. I wish that this book can be translated into different languages. It does worth the hype and it will defo become another great addition for ASEAN or Asia literature. KEBAB Reading Club @kebabreadingclub is conducting a discussion on this book on 25 April 2023.

The last and the final book in the Infernal Devices Trilogy by @cassieclare1 ( Cassandra Clare ) is "Clockwork Princess ". Like any other concluding book to a Shadowhunter series , this book is heart shattering and will leave a mark on your inner self, incessantly. Tbh , I couldn't keep my tears while flipping through the pages of the prologue , at the end of this book. After the events of the ' Clockwork Prince ' while Tessa and Jem are busy preparing for their fairy tale wedding and Will starts bonding with his younger sister, a new problem starts brewing up in the dark alleyways of London. Stocks of yin fen , the drug keeping Tessa's soon-to-be husband surprisingly start vanishing. Without the drug Jem's health starts failing but he is hell bent on having this wedding , considering it to be his final shot towards happiness. With the death of Benedict Lightwood and his son-in-law, the Lightwood boys become a new addition to the London Institute , after promising to help Charlotte with the whole situation with the Magister. With Jem almost dying of fever , the problem worsens when Mortmain takes Tessa captive. Will , finally revealing his true feelings for the woman he loves sets for Cadair Idris to get Tessa back , as instructed by a dying Jessamine. This book becomes a lot to process , once we come to know about the reality behind Tessa's parentage . When we realise that she is one of her kind. And both Will and Jem , now a Silent Brother will stop at nothing to protect her from the dangers of this world. One last time the Shadowhunters weld their seraph blades against the Infernal Devices. One last time, Tessa has to choose between the matters of her heart and her brain. One last time , the angel will play his cards and none shall survive if Tessa doesn't stand up to command the awaiting army!

Today, for #Thursdayart, I wanted to share a post by an amazing #artist named Amy Shane (@amy_fortheloveofbook) who helps authors get the word out about their books by painting their covers onto her leg and posting the beautiful results online. I'm so honored that she chose #ShadesofRustandRuin as inspiration for her latest incredible tribute! These screenshots are impressive enough on their own, but for the full effect, be sure to hop over to her IG and check out her reel to see a timelapse encapsulation of her work! I read that it can take up to 6 to 8 hours to complete one of her masterpieces. 😯❤️ #bodyart #aghowardbooks #bookreel #bookstagramreel #yafantasy #goblinmarket #labyrinth #Halloween #yalit #steampunk #artistshelpingartists https://www.instagram.com/p/CiQdjodAtV8/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Hiya! Happy Pride Month ❤️💜💙 everyone! Today's my spot on tour with @tbrbeyondtours for #sparktoshadow by @ankimauthor! I really enjoyed this one and I'm crossing my fingers for a sequel!! My thoughts on the book: When spark meets shadow, events are set in motion that will change Fang’s life forever. Spark to Shadow was everything I needed in my first YA/NA fantasy read! I devoured this story and was so sad when it ended. From the beginning, I loved the way the author brought the story to life and found myself falling in love with the characters. I love the character and world building and the many twists that leave the reader guessing as the story progresses. This was a compelling read full of courtly intrigue that is in a gender reversed world. Impressive atmospheric imagery, along with details of rich culture, made for a truly memorable reading experience. A very creative own voices book, with really dynamic representation, along with some mildly romantic elements that make it more appropriate for the older YA audiences. I really enjoyed this one and hope there’s a sequel in the works because I’d love to delve deeper into this fantastical world Kim has created!

There is indeed a lot to admire about Waris Dirie and her story. Raised in a nomadic Somali family, raped at age four and then mutilated in a female circumcision ritual at age five, she bravely ran away from home at thirteen to avoid being married off to an old man. The Young Dirie endured many obstacles - finding her way to Mogadishu and to her long-lost relatives, a string of unsuccessful living arrangements, working as a maid in London and then as kitchen help in McDonalds with minimal English language or literacy. Eventually, Dirie embarks on a successful modeling career and then uses her success to speak out against female genital mutilation (FGM). So yes! It's defo a shocking story and everyone can read quickly despite the mediocre writing which detracted some. Unfortunately I just couldn't warm up to Dirie as a narrator. Some parts of the books seemed so superficial and dull which didn't leave me any impression at all. Well, still a quick one to read during the short flight tho! Thanks @namakurhea for shipping this book all the way from Jakarta. ❤️ Des✨ #bookishindonesia #bookaholic #bookstagram #bookstagramindonesia #bibliophile #bookreview #bookreviewer #booknerd #bookaddict #bookblogger #bookaesthetic #bookenthusiast #booksbooksbooks #descalibrary #descaslibrary #descareading2023 #fictionbook #literaturejunkie #nonfiction #igreads #igbook #instaread #instabooks #ReadTheWorld23 #riotgrams #BookstagramReels #WarisDirie #DesertFlower #AutoBiography #FemaleGenitalMutilation (at Sota,PNG) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cq_wwy2y3ok/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Meet Yunus Turaibi, a 44-yo-bus driver in Tehran, Iran. He once gathered at a bus drivers strike where things went awry. Violence breaks out and it leads Yunus to one and another chaotic chapter of his life following his arrest and imprisonment in Even Prison. In the prison, the stories keep shifting between the interrogation and his flashbacks. Most flashbacks talk about his personal relationship-with his friend’s wife and the father (this includes Yunus doing a solo hand-job in pleasure department while being imprisoned); while the interrogations are often absurds. Why on earth a prison warden asks a prisoner, “Have you ever fuked? How did you fuk?” Let’s return to the book by looking at the bible in which God sent a big whale to swallow Jonah and to save him from drowning. While in the belly of the big whale, Jonah prayed to God for help, repented, and praised God. For three days and three nights, Jonah sat in the belly of the fish. All the while Jonah kept thinking about himself and his plight. The bible part and this book in which portray Yunus (Jonah - Eng) clearly has moral message to impart. Both are to condemn the people narrow nationalism and small-mindedness in Iran. It shows with the corruption of the justice system is exposed during his time in prison and later when Yunus goes to trial. I must say that Yunus as the main character is quite boring but the political turmoil and its depictions happen around him are what make this book interesting. Add the prose used here. It’s beyond beautiful esp the allegory of “the fish that swallowed him..” Referring to Yunus and his existence in such oppressive socio-system. Give this a go tho.

My access to book is very limited ever since I moved to the border between Indo and PNG. So here comes the rereading... Bright is a novel written by Duanwad Pimwana and is translated into English by Mui Poopoksakul. I had a buddy read on this novel with the one and only Prabda Soon-die-hard-fan @teguhafandi and the podcast queen @patricia.wulandari There is no plot-line in this novel as the story is centred around an abandoned five-year-old Kompol. His mother left him and the baby boy for another man after the husband kept hitting her. The father returned to the ex-wife taking Kompol’s baby brother. The family is all scattered out. Kompol’s parents keep coming in and out of Kompol’s life; leaving him collectively adopted by the community: Hia Chong, Aunt Mon, the womaniser Old Tia and many more. This little boy makes a bit of money from being a masseuse for Dang and also as a helper for Hia Chong. Kompol’s collection of incidences consists of sad and happy stories of his childhood. I know there are some sad parts, but I still cannot help myself but to smile while reading the parts about his innocence and foolishness. Kampol and his friends make me giggle with all of their usual childhood mischief. They befriend the stray dogs, playing with marbles, bounce-back balls which remind me of my childhood. What I also love from this novel is the fact that Pimwana does not only give me a joyous depiction of childhood but also a portrait of working class in Thailand. I really recommend this book especially to those who enjoy sweet stories (the ending is sweet even it ends tragically) about family.

Here: my rainbow socks and my current read! I am mow reading an anthology of Japanese gay literature and I cannot help myself but to highlight some sentences I have read in the introduction. There's a sentence which makes my heart constricts (slide 2), saying, ..." Love between men is not in fact a tradition that has been widely discussed by the Japanese academic community..." I cannot help myself but to think "what a lamentable fact..." it is indeed a lamentable fact because if I always adore the Japanese Samurai homosexuality and their trends. The trends have shifted from a beautiful and more passive boys or the acolyte or the sexual companions of a monk or abbott called chigo to a wakashu - the brave and manly squires of the samurai. So what's more beautiful in life than seeing the broad chest, stocky body and muscular thighs of those samurai a la Yukio Mishima (last slide) being described and romanticized for the same-sex love in the literary arena?

So here: the anthologies of short stories published by by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. The list of contributors are some prominent writers you may have known like Hannah Lilith Assadi, Yoon Ha Lee and Madeline Ashby. Add the foreword from Roxanne Gay. The idea for this anthology is to shine a light on various issues occurring and worsening, and show potential solutions. The main point is to create a utopian world where people can live safely. Interesting ha! Well, just like any other anthologies, this anthology has some good and okay stories. Yet they will mention and offer you stories about domestic violence, child abuse, animal abuse, physical violence and murder, islamophobia, xenophobia, racism, classism, poverty, self-harm, alcoholism, substance abuse, homophobia and possibly other issues that I have forgotten. If you’d prefer to avoid sensitive matter related to the topics I just listed, Take Us to a Better Place Stories may not be for you. So did the stories in the collection lean a little heavily on their theme? Of course they did. Were they still well written and enjoyable? Yes!
