A Caribe Favourite Read

Setting: N/A

Books are a special kind of poison. They soothe every ache inside of you while making you long for things that don't exist. They make you feel alive while simultaneously making life seem more and more dull with every page you read. Reading makes you feel less alone and yet it creates an ache for companionship - the likes of which you will never know outside of those pages.
Books are a poison I wish I had never drunk, but now that I have - it's the one thing keeping me alive.

One of the hard things about reading long books is feeling you haven’t read a lot because you haven’t finished a book in ages

March 2024 Reading Wrap Up
I read 2 books and got 2 kindle challenge achievements this month!
Now let's look at the breakdown :)
Reading Challenge Progress: I committed to reading 30 books in 2024 so currently I'm ahead by 2 books!
Top Genre read as at 2024: Young Adult
My first read for March and 7th read for the year was Blood Scion by Deborah Falaye. Rating: 2.5/5
First of all, a moment for the cover. My main reason for giving this book a shot is that the book cover artist is West Indian and I give a coin for my people! I liked the representation of Yoruba culture in this book, often times books based on African Culture can feel like the author only experienced it second hand. I think the author portrayed the culture well while still making it understandable for those who haven't experienced it.
Blood Scion earned me the New Year Kindle Challenge Achievements - National Reading Month
Book #8 was Yellowface by R. F. Kuang . Rating: 4/5
This book won Best Fiction for 2023 so that placed it on my radar. Once I acknowledged that this was a horror novel and the main character wasn't to be liked I was able to appreciate the book for what it was. I also appreciated the insight into the publishing world this book gives the reader.
Thanks to Yellowface being a kindle read, I earned the New Year Kindle Challenge Achievement: Page Sage while reading this book. That rounds out all 15 Kindle Challenge Achievements for the Q1. Love that for me.
....
And that's it!
See you next month but in the meantime, what have you been reading?

"Reading was like an addiction; I read while I ate, on the train, in bed until late at night, in school, where I'd keep the book hidden so I could read during class."
