So, one of my favorite book bloggers has come up with a month-long bookstagram photography challenge where you've to click a picture that goes with the prompt of the day. Weekends are off so that you can brainstorm some ideas or take a break.
.
This one was difficult and here I am going outside my comfort zone and clicking a pic for the Prompt: Spell June with book titles.

Are you participating in #BooksWithNaba @nabanitadhar ? It'll be fun!

It's watching this pooch run in his deep slumber, his sloppy kisses and chipkoo-ness! Or a cup of cold coffee in this scorching heat, a bright red lipstick and the beautiful view of the hills. Of books old and new, of bright yellow sunflowers and the Soldier's smile. .
😊
It's also knowing that all my near and dear ones are safe and healthy during these unnerving times.

#BookReviewbyMuffy .
😊
I just finished reading Mrs. C Remembers @panmacmillanindia and it is perfect for the May prompt for #readingwithmuffy : A book on mental health.
.
😊
It's a deep, thought-provoking read and it hits you hard. A poignant tale of a woman who was, since her childhood, been told that compromising is the way of life. That men are superior and it is okay to "adjust".
.
😊
Mrs C talks about her marriage and the kind of things she had to put up with, thanks to her bitchy mother-in-law. As the story moves forward you get to see Sohini's PoV about life, spirited and carefree. Mrs. C is okay with her daughter's rebellious nature, is fiercely protective of her but is also careful about what others think of them. She is someone who was raised in a patriarchal society and accepted it without question, all through her life.
.
😊
Mrs.C Remembers is a story that's beautifully crafted with intricate layers. It talks about patriarchy, male chauvinism, nationalism, inequality, women empowerment, conservatism and family dynamics without making it preachy. You'd find yourself nod and sigh and the hard truths are like a slap on your face.
.
😊
But it is also mostly about suppressed thoughts and emotions and how one feels when your dear one slowly succumb to a mental illness. The pain of seeing them lose their identity is heartwrenching.
.
😊
Written in a simple language, this book is masterfully crafted with a brutally honest portrayal of Dementia.
.

How are you guys?

I've never been on a 45-day reading rut but that's mainly because I'm focusing on something else right now than reading. But needless to say, I miss reading good books and hence I'm here.
.
🍹
I'm currently reading a beautiful book for the #ReadingWithMuffy May prompt which is A book that speaks about mental health. I hope you are enjoying your current read. .
.
🍹
I'll be shipping out the prizes to the winners only after some more time. Because I'm shit scared to get out of my house. I hope you can wait? Pretty please?
.
🍹
The Linky for the May prompt will be open from May 25th to June 10th and I'm hoping to announce the winner for April when the post goes live on the 25th.
.
🍹
Stay tuned. Stay safe.
.

Oh this is not a sponsored post with Frooti. But other than coffee and hot chocolate, I love sipping on Frooti or Tang while reading. Especially now when the unforgiving sun is above us all the time.🙆‍♀️

#qotd: how many books do you have in your TBR pile right now? Do you hoard books?
I think I've around 200 odd books! And I still miss buying new ones from Amazon and I'm literally waiting with bated breath for @tbb_box !🥴 .
Am I too weird? I hope not!

I didn't let anyone sleep (Muffy and the husband was wide awake. They weren't ALLOWED to sleep because then I'd have hit the bed too!) and could answer all the questions on time (though most of them were blunders, I suppose!). You should reveal the answers too #tbbbox 😁
.
💛
We need more of this! Yesssssssss! .
💛
In another world, I'm still lagging behind on the reading front. @thejournalofareader_ and some amazing bookstagrammers are already halfway through Chamber of Secrets readalong. I really should buckle up.
.
💛
I'm reading your reviews for the March #ReadingWithMuffy readalong and I'm loving your entries. It's kinda difficult because some entries are via blogs/goodreads/facebook and I know only your insta handles. Figuring out who's who is taking away most of my time. But I think we'll pick a winner tonight. Stay tuned.
.
💛
Lots of love to you! Eventhough the lockdown is partially lifted in many places, please stay home as long as you can. Stay safe.
.
💛
Good vibes always!
Muffy and Shalini

P.S. They really should launch a Prof.Sprout funko. What say #hufflepuff ?

Hello May and here's my #tbrpile .
As always, I tend to read outside of my #tbr But I'm hoping to pick up at least a few books from this.
.
I'm on a reading slump as you know and I've read one page from all these books. So, my aim is to finally finish what I started. Wish me luck.🥺
.
Stay safe you guys!
Happy Weekend.

~ The Burn Out is Real~
.
.
If you see my Insta stories, you'd know that I'm unable to read even a single sentence of a book for the last ten days. The beginning of the month saw me devouring books one after the other but well, every good thing has to come to an end. And so did my reading spree.
.
I'm slowly getting back to it and my current read which is Winterwood seems to be doing the trick.
.
The April Linky for #ReadingWithMuffy is live on the blog and I'll be announcing the winner for March some time later today.
.
Here's my wrap up for April!
📖 Daisy Jones & The Six 💫💫💫💫💫
📖 Seriously I'm Kidding by Ellen DeGeneres 💫💫💫
📖 The Female of the Species 💫💫💫💫💫
📖 Humble Pie by Gordon Ramsay 💫💫💫💫
