Many of these animals require special treatment which I enjoy providing each day. Most of these animals came to my farm so broken from lack of care it was a miracle they survived. I have so enjoyed seeing these abused animals thrive under the proper care and grateful to be a part of their recovery.

Of Necessity and Wanting by Sascha Akhtar Release Update

Hey book lover! Today I am bringing a Release Update for you. The book is published by 87 Press and the name of the book is Of Necessity and Wanting. It is written by Sascha Aurora Akhtar.



Of Necessity and Wanting by Sascha Akhtar


A little more about Of Necessity and Wanting:
This fiction work was published on 14th October 2020. It is a collection of lyrical, atmospheric stories of varying lengths set in urban Pakistan. The book is divided into three sections and there are 240 pages in this book. At its forefront are the concerns of people who are lower down on the metaphorical ‘chain’ of status and power, especially in the context of their symbiotic relationship with those they see as ‘other,’ ‘ privileged’ or 'fair.'

What reviews are saying:
Mohammad Hanif: "Sharply observed & tightly spun. Sascha has the eye of a poet & the ear of a wanderer. She writes precisely & lyrically. It’s a thing of beauty."

Nik Perring: "There is a familiarity in Akhtar’s characters that reminds us that, whomever or wherever we are, we share the same truths. Deliciously written, always entertaining and filled with striking imagery, Akhtar’s stories do the most magical thing - they show us who we are."

My opinion about Of Necessity and Wanting:
Sascha's work will encourage young talents to pursue writing as a career. I think the book is written targeting Pakistani and Indian readers. Karachi is the central attraction of the book. So readers from both countries will be able to find the connection very easily.

This Release Update is a part of the blog tour organised by Fly on the Wall Press. I would like to thank Isabelle Kenyon for giving me the opportunity to read this fantastic collection of short fictions.

Review: The Love Virus by Eleni Cay

Image
Hope you are not affected too much by COVID 19 at the moment. For this global pandemic, I had to experience "country-lockdown" for the first time in my life (hopefully for the last time too). In this arduous situation, reading books is the only way to find an escape. So I picked up Eleny Cay 's The Love Virus . This book belongs to the fiction genre. The story of the book revolves around Katie, who was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis at the age of nineteen. Because of the illness, she couldn't give physical satisfaction to her fiancé Mark, and she decided to break up the relationship. Katie was a student of psychology at Oxford University, but MS led her to drop herself out of college. She was admitted to Critten Hospital under the supervision of Dr Andrews. While undergoing treatment, it was found that Katie had incurable MS2. Dr Andrews told her that he wanted to apply an experimental drug Andratalia on her and assured her that it would cure MS2. Katie had

A review of Valedictorian of the Bottom Feeders written by James F. Miller II

Image
In 2020, I read a lot of poetry books but only a few could impress me. The poets who made my 2020 special are James F. Miller II ( Ghost in the Reflection, Letters to Erin ) and Steve Denehan (Days of Falling Flesh and Rising Moons). I never thought that I would get another chance to read these poets' work this year. But it happened and Jimmy sent me his latest chapbook Valedictorian of the Bottom Feeders published by Planet Productions Poetry & Press . He asked me to do a review of this book, and I thought why I shouldn't share my opinion with you! Valedictorian of the Bottom Feeders has forty-two pages, and it contains fifteen poetries. While writing this review,  "if you want to annoy a poet, explain his poetry" -this famous quote by Nassim Nicholas Taleb is striking in my head. I think I should not reel out any of the poetries in this review. I hope the poet or the publisher will also avoid revealing anything to the readers. My suggestion to the poet or t
