Mid-Morning Musings: The Desperate Need for Mental Health Awareness During a Worldwide Pandemic

Content Warning: Discussion of mental health, insanity, & COVID. Happy Sunday morning, y’all. I just wanted to pop in briefly today and share a mental health update. Even though I’m an introvert, isolation has been taking a negative toll on my mind and emotions. I have certain routines that I practise as a form of…

Japanese Lit. Bookstagram

Revenge by Yōko Ogawa is the short story collection that not only got me into adoring anthologies & short story reading, but also heavily inspired me to start writing my very own short story books. The author is one of my female creators & her versatility with the pen is absolutely incredible. Swipe for more details on Revenge! If you’d like more Ogawa book recs, I highly suggest The Housekeeper and the Professor for a family-oriented, heartwarming tale. For more psychologically dark & thought-provoking narrative elements, I suggest Hotel Iris!
Since my heart-surgery, I’ve been interested in making long-term to permanent lifestyle changes, not just with respect to my physical health, but also my mental and spiritual health. This short and easy to read book is an excellent place for beginners like me to get ideas of how to start making those changes and I adored every bit of it. Swipe for a full review! 💕
A favourite female author is Hiromi Kawakami. She writes stories of seemingly inconsequential experiences that hold a powerful dose of complex existentialism and I adore every bit of it. Her novel Strange Weather in Tokyo is a simple yet incredibly profound piece of literature on the nature of existence, particularly with respect to what we leave behind. The translation is extraordinary. The writing perfect. The themes brilliant. Swipe for my full review.
The Travelling Cat Chronicles is my favourite novel ever written & it’s the only book that made me cry for *hours* after I finished reading it. It’s both incredibly beautiful yet achingly soul-shattering. Swipe for my full review & reasons why all readers of literary fiction (and cat lovers) should check out this amazing novel. 💙
Naomi by Jun’ichirō Tanizaki is one of my favourite Japanese literature novels of all-time, especially because of how brilliantly telling it is about Japan’s postwar modernisation struggles. Please swipe through for my full review! If you’ve read this title, please let me know what you thought of it! 😁 Happy readings! ✌🏽
Happy shelfie Sunday, y’all! Just wanted to pop in quickly & wish you a gentle & kind week. I’m going to start sharing book reviews in a couple days. If you’re searching for recommendations or reviews within specific genres (sci-fi, crime fiction, nonfiction, etc.), please let me know & I’ll put some together for you. Have a lovely day & cosy week ahead.
