Squee! My first month of #roll100! I have two lists (audio and print), and my goal is to read one of the three books in each format. (Audio are square; print are rectangle.) None of these books were on my radar to read this month, so I‘m very excited to try something different!

PuddleJumper That's great! 2y
Cinfhen Good luck, Meg 💚 2y
Megabooks @PuddleJumper @Cinfhen thank you! I‘m excited! 2y

Claustrophobic and stifling. Not much seems to change. Most certainly not the protagonist. #shortyseptember22

The Tiger's Daughter | Bharati Mukherjee

Now she was in a city that took for granted most men were born to suffer, others to fall asleep during committee meetings of the chamber of commerce.

FINISHED my final prompt for #Booked2020: I‘m excited that I completed it! This was at my bottom of to be read list: recommended by a therapist over a year ago. The other ones were #Gothic or horror: “Mexican Gothic,” #ThinkPink: “ We Have always Been Here,” #Publishedin2020: “Resilience is Futile,” #Bookclubworthy: “Ragged Company,” #SouthAsian “Ghachar Ghochar.”

Singout The book itself is considered to be a classic in its field: at least in Canada, where it was written. I‘ve been told it‘s a bit outdated now. It was hard slogging because it‘s about all the links between physical illness and mental health issues (stress, childhood unhappiness, anxiety, depression) which could be demoralizing because I‘m living with a long-term physical illness. However, I took some notes I‘m going to follow up on. 4y
Cinfhen Woohoo 🎉 🙌🏻
congrats on completing #Fall #Booked2020 💗This is your #OfficialFinalEntry 🎊WELL DONE
And glad the tagged book offered you some helpful ideas 🤗Happy New Year

Singout Happy New Year to you too! 4y
BarbaraTheBibliophage I have another Maté on my shelf, but this one actually sounds more interesting. Have you read 4y
Singout My friend who said this was outdated recommended that one, and I might read it at some point but I‘m not very diligent about monitoring and consuming-health related things. One of the qualities he addresses in the book: avoidance. 4y

Although it's a series of short stories, it reads very much like a novel, with characters reappearing and different aspects of the same story being slowly uncovered.
The first story takes place in Colombo in 1939, and from here we're following three generations of two Sri Lankan families in both Sri Lanka and the USA, through their studies, arranged marriages, heartaches, secrets, successes and failures. ⬇️

eeclayton We're witnessing the clash of traditionalist and more progressive attitudes, problems in communication, and changing gender roles.
It's incredibly written, thought-provoking and heartbreaking. I loved every word.

Careful words, unique juxtaposition and a sideways page layout create a layered reading experience in this tender collection of #Canadian #poetry. Family relationships, chronic illness and global injustices are central topics, approached in conversation with the writings of other poets, other chroniclers. #SouthAsian
