My book taste is perfectly representative of me. A chaotic mix that will never make sense. I study clinical psychology but I have more hobbies than the word limit allows to list. But think trad wife.

    I thought it would be kind of fun to see where in the world people are, and then folks can make friends with people from the same countries/ares (if they way, not pressure obviously). I'll go first. I'm Canadian, and more specifically I am in British Columbia (Vancouver Island if you want to get fancy). Try to find your country and join that thread! Everyone else?

  • Why do you join a quest?

    With all the new quests dropping today (including the first installment of the genre starter packs), I'm curious. What inspires you to join a quest? Do you have certain criteria or do you just think "oooh pretty badge, must join"? šŸ˜‚ For me, I've set the limit that I must have a genuine interest in at least 5 books in a quest to join it. That way I know I can at least obtain the lowest tier of badge, doesn't matter if it's a side or main quest. I feel like if there are less than 5 books in the quest that I want to/have read, it's probably not for me anyway. What do you think? Do you have a similar thought process or do you think about the quests completely differently?

    I have no idea what the plot could possibly be and that is a very uncomfortable yet refreshing feeling

    So this book was supposed to be for book club in February but I really maybe 10 pages and I could not get hooked. But I am determined to finish it.

    I feel like this was a good filler book. After reading something heavy this was a good break. It wasn't something I got hooked on and extremely invested in but at the same time it wasn't necessarily boring either.

    It was a good filler book. Not the best mystery I have read but it wasn't bad either.

    Throughout the book I constantly felt like I was constantly trying to remember how I felt when said event happened. It was like this weird kind of deja vu where I remembered all the events spoken on but in very hazy detail. Qandeel was not a feminist icon. She was just a woman from a small village trying to make it. She was just trying to live her life. She made her own fair share of mistakes but never one that justified her murder. I understand why people try to make her into a role model but she wasn't. She was someone dealing with so many demons of her own, I don't believe even she would agree to being a role model for other women. But I do understand how some people look upto her and I will always believe that she deserved respect just like any other human being. Respect we failed to give her. She didn't take away anyone's honour,nor was she the reason that it was taken. She never wanted to safeguard anyone's honour, nor does any other women. I know I am almost like ranting in this review but what else can I do after reading this. I am part of the same society. I am a woman in the same society. One misstep and maybe someone will kill me because I was a threat to their honor too.
