Forbidden Notebook

Alba de Céspedes

With a foreword by Jhumpa Lahiri, Quaderno Proibito is a classic domestic novel by the Italian-Cuban feminist writer Alba de Céspedes, whose work inspired contemporary writers like Elena Ferrante. In this modern translation by acclaimed Elena Ferrante translator Ann Goldstein, Forbidden Notebook centers the inner life of a dissatisfied housewife living in postwar Rome. Valeria Cossati never suspected how unhappy she had become with the shabby gentility of her bourgeois life—until she begins to jot down her thoughts and feelings in a little black book she keeps hidden in a closet. This new secret activity leads her to scrutinize herself and her life more closely, and she soon realizes that her individuality is being stifled by her devotion and sense of duty toward her husband, daughter, and son. As the conflicts between parents and children, husband and wife, and friends and lovers intensify, what goes on behind the Cossatis’ facade of middle-class respectability gradually comes to light, tearing the family’s fragile fabric apart. An exquisitely crafted portrayal of domestic life, Forbidden Notebook recognizes the universality of human aspirations.

Green Dot

Madeleine Gray

An irresistible and messy love story about the terrible allure of wanting something that promises nothing At 24, Hera is a clump of unmet potential. To her, the future is nothing but an exhausting thought exercise, one depressing hypothetical after another. She’s sharp in more ways than one, adrift in her own smug malaise, until her new job moderating the comments section of an online news outlet—a role even more mind-numbing than it sounds—introduces her to Arthur, a middle-aged journalist. Though she's preferred women to men for years now, she soon finds herself falling into an all-consuming affair with him. She is coming apart with want and loving every second of it! Well, except for the tiny hiccup of Arthur’s wife—and that said wife has no idea Hera exists. With its daringly specific and intimate voice, Green Dot is a darkly hilarious and deeply felt examination of the joys and indignities of coming into adulthood against the pitfalls of the twenty-first century and the winding, tortuous, and often very funny journey we take in deciding who we are and who we want to be.

Nana, Vol. 1

Ai Yazawa

Nana "Hachi" Komatsu hopes that moving to Tokyo will help her make a clean start and leave her capricious love life behind her. Nana Osaki, who arrives in the city at the same time, has plans to score big in the world of rock'n'roll. Although these two young women come from different backgrounds, they quickly become best friends in a whirlwind world of sex, music, fashion, gossip and all-night parties! Anxious to get into a Tokyo groove, both women are on the prowl for a funky and cheap place to live. But inexpensive apartments in Japan's capital city are hard to find. Thank goodness each Nana has a clique of cool friends willing to help out. Too bad these friends are a little wiggy!

And my current read is…

I thought it would be fun to play a little game where you drop what your current read is! Is it: In a quest/readalong Yoinked from someone here Apart of a buddy read A library book or borrowed from a friend An audiobook One of several you’re currently reading Outside of your usual genre(s) A reread I think I’m going to steal the formatting from @vulpecula’s Never Have I Ever game, leave a check mark ✅ if that’s one of your current reads and x ❌ if it’s not!

Birthday Reads 🎀⭐

Hey everyoneeeee!!🫶🏻 It's my 20th birthday. It still kinda feels funny in my head that I have turned 20 on 20th August (it just does, I don't know why 😭) My elder sister got me 3 books and my very first Manga. She also gave me a handmade bouquet🥹 and like those flowers are made so beautifully from craft papers, I wish I could attach its pic. I am soo happyyy. She also wrote short notes based on the books for me and now every book feels so special, i cannot decide which one to pick up first. I would be really happy to hear everyone's suggestions💞

1) The Days of Abandonment by Elena Ferrante 2) My Dark Vanessa by Kate Elizabeth Russell 3) Green Dot by Madeleine Gray 4) Manga - NANA by Ai Yazawa Vol. 1

(Now this is very special to me. It's my first manga. I have watched the anime. Literally devoured it!! Everything about NANA feels so personal. I also got a NANA tshirt for my birthday. NANA is absolute love and I would be so glad if everyone gives its anime or manga a chance. But it is incomplete because the author went on a hiatus due to her health ig)

Ps: I am sorry if this felt irrelevant. But this is the first time I ever felt so excited for my birthday and i really really wanted to share it with everyone🩷
