Hi Readers!
Have to wake up as September ends. But, if this month was any indication of a dream, I\u2019d rather keep sleeping for five more minutes!! What an amazing month this was, sans the first 10 days which were insane. But also, maybe because I spent those first 10 days being in despair, sadness, stress and anxiety, with an end after the 10th September, I was able to live my life in a more grand and fuller way than usual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I went solo art gallery hopping, which was probably one of the best days I\u2019ve had this year! Met my relatives and most of my cousins during Navratri, and meeting them instantly means constant laughter and fun. Had multiple occasions to cook as well. Celebrated 11 years of Mindscape in Words! Made and shipped Harry Potter paintings to my brother for his birthday, which he loved. And, after 8 years, we had a Bramha Kamal bloom! What a fascinating ride September has been, which is why I say, five more minutes!

~~BOOKS~~<\/mark><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I read ONE BOOK across 208 PAGES in September! <\/mark><\/strong>This was Strange Houses by Uketsu, which I was looking forward to read for the longest time! I also read a few more books, Katabasis by R.F. Kuang and The Healing Hippo of Hinode Park by Michiko Aoyama. I am still reading them, and will take some time till I finish them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

~~STRANGE HOUSES by UKETSU, TRANSLATED by JIM RION~~<\/mark><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I read Uketsu\u2019s first novel Strange Pictures earlier this year, and was mind blown. So, when Strange Houses was delivered, I read it right away. I loved the blueprints of the houses and finding out about the problems in these strange houses. But, overall the story didn\u2019t reach as with the previous book. I have still rated Strange Houses by Uketsu, translated by Jim Rion at 4\/5 stars! <\/mark><\/strong>Review will be up soon.
