Gurbani Judge Instagram – 📚 Books! 🔸Lessons In Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus: I started this book months ago and couldn’t get into it – picked it up again earlier this month and blazed through it. It be like that sometimes. Found myself so upset at the injustices she suffers in the book and thought about Miss Zott for weeks after. You think it’s a love story but goddamn it’s so much more. • Page turner, inspiring. TW: Assault, Death, Bullying. 🔸Almond by Won Pyung Sohn: This book disturbed me to the point I didn’t want to read further for fear of the situation getting worse for the characters. I kept finding myself wondering what happened next and would inadvertently sit down and turn the page. Glad I got through it. Would highly recommend reading the ‘Authors note’ once you’re done to have the ‘Ahhhhaaa’ moment. • Intense & moving. Awareness TW: Death, Murder, Bullying. 🔸Before the coffee gets cold Book 2 & 3 by Toshikazu Kawaguchi: I enjoyed the first book when it came out and finally got around to reading the remaining 2 in this trilogy. It gets repetitive in that they love to go over the story of the cafe, the rules, how it’s located in the basement and describe the 3 clocks that never tell the actual time, lol. Apart from that it’s fun, sad & interesting to meet different characters and learn their reasons for travelling back in time. The story of the ‘Ghost’ who occupies that seat is also finally revealed. • Heart warming, second chances. TW: Death. 🔸Convenience Store Woman by Sayaka Murata: Gave me déjà vu to ‘No such thing as an easy job’ (previous book post) in its repetitiveness to an extent- only here there were moments I wanted to shake the character and yell, ‘NOOOOOOOO WHYYYYYYYY’, lol. •Odd, quirky.
