[welldonekhushi]

Yes, today is the Captain's birthday. He has finally grown a year older <3 (even if he didn't tell anyone his original and true age)

During the events of @revnah1406's Operation Kingslayer, the team decided to celebrate the Captain on his birthday by surprising him in his office. As the Captain could open the door, the crew wished him a very happy birthday but shut the door out of amusement 🤣

It's not that he doesn't like to celebrate birthdays, but he thought it would be a very normal day, since he thinks he only grew a year older and nothing more. And seeing the rest of the Kingslayers celebrating his birthday was an actual surprise to him. But guess what? He finally celebrates with them together! 🥹

Ahem.. he even got a secret letter from Kavya back from India, receiving a wish from her too *sniff*

So, wishing our Captain Arjun a very happy birthday with a prosperous future! 💝

Everyday my heart carries another burden;

Because of separation, in my eye there is another thorn.

I kept on striving, but fate kept on saying:

'Beyond what is enough for you, there is another task'.

TARAAAAA...

Tara

Kaunsa Tara?

Kis manzil ka?

Kya chakkar hai?

Kahan chala hai, dil ka rasta.. bin kadmo ke?

Door khadi sapno ki malika, hai thodi na yaar.. mirage hai, jo desert mein dikhte hai.

Hoti ret hai, lagta paani.

Uske liye main papad belun?

Do kaudi ki hasti hai, par usse khelun?

Phenk bikherun apna sab kuch.. kiski khatir?

Kise chahiye mann ka sona, aankh ki moti..

Kise padi hai, andar kya hai !

Hoti ret hai, lagta paani.

ruhani shaam ye tu yun na jaan le

Well, I failed my September TBR by only reading 3 out of 7 books… Does it count that I am finishing up the 4th and am adding the 5th back on October’s TBR? No?  Didn’t think so… Let’s hope I fare better in the month of October.

Let’s see what I am planning on reading this month, shall we?

*Book titles link to Goodreads

» Crooked Kingdom (Six of Crows #2) by Leigh Bardugo

Welcome to the world of the Grisha.

After pulling off a seemingly impossible heist in the notorious Ice Court, criminal prodigy Kaz Brekker feels unstoppable. But life is about to take a dangerous turn—and with friends who are among the deadliest outcasts in Ketterdam city, Kaz is going to need more than luck to survive in this unforgiving underworld.

This is going to be a buddy read with my friend Kirstie over at @Upside-Down Books

» The Tale of Despereaux, The Tiger Rising, The Magician’s Elephant & Because of Winn-Dixie by Kate DiCamillo

#gallery-0-4 { margin: auto; } #gallery-0-4 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 25%; } #gallery-0-4 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-0-4 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */

Kate DiCamillo will be attending the Books by the Banks book festival here in Ohio at the end of the month.  I am currently reading Raymie Nightingale, but have never read a Kate DiCamillo book before this.  I’ve only heard wonderful things, so I am going to read as many of her books as I can before the festival.

» Replica by Lauren Oliver

Lyra

From a distance, the Haven Institute, tucked away on a private island off the coast of Florida, looks serene and even beautiful. But up close the locked doors, military guards, and biohazard suits tell a different story. In truth, it is a clandestine research facility where thousands of replicas, or human models, are born, raised, and observed.

But when a surprise attack is launched on Haven, two of its young experimental subjects—Lyra, or 24, and the boy known only as 72—manage to escape. As they make their way through a new and menacing environment, they meet a stranger named Gemma, who has embarked on a perilous quest of her own. And as Lyra tries to understand Haven’s purpose, she uncovers earth-shattering secrets that will change the lives of both girls.

Gemma

Gemma has been in and out of hospitals her whole life. A sickly child, she has grown into a lonely adolescent whose life is circumscribed by home, school, and her best friend, April.

But after she is nearly abducted by a stranger claiming to know her, Gemma starts to investigate her family’s past and discovers her father’s mysterious connection to the secretive Haven research facility. Hungry for answers, she travels to Florida, only to stumble upon two human models, or replicas, 24 and 72—and a completely new set of questions. As Gemma tries to unravel the mysteries of Haven, she learnes terrible truths about herself and her family that will threaten to destroy everything she loves.

Two girls, two stories, one novel.

While the stories of Gemma and Lyra mirror each other, each contains revelations critically important to the other story. Their narratives can be read separately or in alternating chapters.

  Back from my September TBR, this is part of my Books by the Banks TBR.  If anyone has any insight into how to read this book (separate narratives or alternating chapters) please let me know.

» The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway

The quintessential novel of the Lost Generation, The Sun Also Rises is one of Ernest Hemingway’s masterpieces and a classic example of his spare but powerful writing style. A poignant look at the disillusionment and angst of the post-World War I generation, the novel introduces two of Hemingway’s most unforgettable characters: Jake Barnes and Lady Brett Ashley. The story follows the flamboyant Brett and the hapless Jake as they journey from the wild nightlife of 1920s Paris to the brutal bullfighting rings of Spain with a motley group of expatriates. It is an age of moral bankruptcy, spiritual dissolution, unrealized love, and vanishing illusions. First published in 1926, The Sun Also Rises helped to establish Hemingway as one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century.

My husband and I will be taking a vacation to Key West (Florida) the first week of November to celebrate our 5 year wedding anniversary.  I figured I should probably read one of Ernest Hemingway’s books before I visit his home & museum in Key West 🙂  I picked this one because I remember my Mom (not a big reader) saying this was one of her favorite books that she read in college.

» Lucky Boy by Shanthi Sekaran

A gripping tale of adventure and searing reality, Lucky Boy gives voice to two mothers bound together by their love for one lucky boy.

Solimar Castro Valdez is eighteen and drunk on optimism when she embarks on a perilous journey across the US/Mexican border. Weeks later she arrives on her cousin’s doorstep in Berkeley, CA, dazed by first love found then lost, and pregnant. This was not the plan. But amid the uncertainty of new motherhood and her American identity, Soli learns that when you have just one precious possession, you guard it with your life. For Soli, motherhood becomes her dwelling and the boy at her breast her hearth.

Kavya Reddy has always followed her heart, much to her parents’ chagrin. A mostly contented chef at a UC Berkeley sorority house, the unexpected desire to have a child descends like a cyclone in Kavya’s mid-thirties. When she can’t get pregnant, this desire will test her marriage, it will test her sanity, and it will set Kavya and her husband, Rishi, on a collision course with Soli, when she is detained and her infant son comes under Kavya’s care. As Kavya learns to be a mother – the singing, story-telling, inventor-of-the-universe kind of mother she fantasized about being – she builds her love on a fault line, her heart wrapped around someone else’s child.

Lucky Boy is an emotional journey that will leave you certain of the redemptive beauty of this world. There are no bad guys in this story, no obvious hero. From rural Oaxaca to Berkeley’s Gourmet Ghetto to the dreamscapes of Silicon valley, author Shanthi Sekaran has taken real life and applied it to fiction; the results are moving and revelatory.

» The Heart’s Invisible Furies by John Boyne

From the beloved New York Times bestselling author of The Boy In the Striped Pajamas, a sweeping, heartfelt saga about the course of one man’s life, beginning and ending in post-war Ireland

Cyril Avery is not a real Avery — or at least, that’s what his adoptive parents tell him. And he never will be. But if he isn’t a real Avery, then who is he?

Born out of wedlock to a teenage girl cast out from her rural Irish community and adopted by a well-to-do if eccentric Dublin couple via the intervention of a hunchbacked Redemptorist nun, Cyril is adrift in the world, anchored only tenuously by his heartfelt friendship with the infinitely more glamourous and dangerous Julian Woodbead. At the mercy of fortune and coincidence, he will spend a lifetime coming to know himself and where he came from and over his many years will struggle to discover an identity, a home, a country, and much more.

In this, Boyne’s most transcendent work to date, we are shown the story of Ireland from the 1940s to today through the eyes of one ordinary man. The Heart’s Invisible Furies is a novel to make you laugh and cry while reminding us all of the redemptive power of the human spirit.

» The Alienist by Caleb Carr

The year is 1896. The city is New York. Newspaper reporter John Schuyler Moore is summoned by his friend Dr. Laszlo Kreizler—a psychologist, or “alienist”—to view the horribly mutilated body of an adolescent boy abandoned on the unfinished Williamsburg Bridge. From there the two embark on a revolutionary effort in criminology: creating a psychological profile of the perpetrator based on the details of his crimes. Their dangerous quest takes them into the tortured past and twisted mind of a murderer who will kill again before their hunt is over.

Fast-paced and riveting, infused with historical detail, The Alienist conjures up Gilded Age New York, with its tenements and mansions, corrupt cops and flamboyant gangsters, shining opera houses and seamy gin mills. It is an age in which questioning society’s belief that all killers are born, not made, could have unexpected and fatal consequences.

Question for Arjun! How did you and Kavya meet? Was it sweet? Was it a short meeting or a long one? 👀

Ask game!

"Kavya and I have known each other for a long time. I remember us two meeting each other during a family ceremony when I was in high school and so was she. The moment our eyes met each other from the distance, it was love at first sight. We had a brief talk about ourselves with our interests, and started to grow more closer. Suddenly my Aayi saw me with her, and in embarrassment, she left."

"I thought she was going to be angry at me but instead, she was happy and already realised with whom am I going to spend the rest of my life with, and this is where.. it all came true. I graduated from the military academy, and they confirmed my marriage with Kavya. It also was a surprise that her family agreed, and we both were really happy. This is where a new life began, with a promise that I'll always love, cherish and protect her as my beloved wife."

"You're sure the Captain of the team, but also.. the Captain of her heart." I winked, and Arjun blushed.

"Hm, next question, please."

This is a drawing of them when Arjun graduated from the military academy! Hope you like it! <3

tips for Kavya Blog Identification:

step 1: realise you haven't seen the last url in a while

step 2: search through your dashboard

step 3: once a plausible blog has been found, check pinned post, description, and the font the title is in. Or: go to desktop and check the theme

step 4: celebrate or return to step 2

step 5: if all else fails, have no fear and you will find our beloved bestie eventually

i love the tutorial bestie <3 but really it's so much easier than that. it's the goddamn mutuals and their goddamn kavya tags. my love for the beloveds has stripped me of my cool mysterious undiscoverable rizz smh

and it goes on. i will never know privacy again i can be found wayyy too easily because of my relationships with other people chidi anagonye i blame you
