I need to be careful with what I wish for! I've been looking forward to managing my time and work in a way that allows me to read this book in one sitting because it's just such a happy vibe, but I couldn't because there's so much work and studying to do and I can't prioritise finishing a book in a day. And well, today the wish fairies listened and twisted it in their own way! My shoulder refuses to work at all because of which I can't sketch or do anything 🙈 I got so excited about using my right arm and hand after all these years of it being not okay, that I totally forgot to rest it. And now the muscles are exhausted 😣 Why do I have such a funny life? 🤦🏻‍♀️💁🏻‍♀️ Well, it's time to rest and read now. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #timesofgee #blogpost #currentlyreading #unitedbookstagram #bookstagram #bookblogger #betterreadschallenge #vegan #bookish #autoimmunedisease #bookworm #veganlife #teaandbooks #lightroom #flatlay #readersofinstagram #usedbooks #rest #selfcare #bookshelf #saturday #lifestruggles #carefulwhatyouwishfor #booknerd #newpost #readingaddict #crueltyfree #goodreads #amreading #bookaholic
"If you are disgusted by what you see, and if you feel the fire coursing through your veins, then it's up to you. You don't have to be the leader of a global movement or a household name. It can be as small scale as chipping away at the warped power relations in your workplace. It can be passing on knowledge and skills to those who wouldn't access them otherwise. It can be creative. It can be informal. It can be your job. It doesn't matter what it is, as long as you're doing something." ▫️ Finished reading the book today and I'm so glad I picked it up! I think I'll do a blog about it soon because there's just so much the book has to say. The author, @renieddolodge turned her blog post into this beautiful book, one that makes us realise that we've been learning and following such flawed notions about what a "good" society is "supposed to be" that the only way we'll have love and peace and kindness in this world is by unlearning it all and restructuring everything on and with compassion. There's so much to make everyone around us aware of and so much to evolve and change! Every step, no matter how tiny, matters. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #timesofgee #blogpost #currentlyreading #unitedbookstagram #bookstagram #bookblogger #betterreadschallenge #booktuber #bookish #bookishfeatures #bookworm #racism #bookphotography #lightroom #vegan #readersofinstagram #bethechange #speciesism #weekendreadingwithsonam #bookshelf #humanity #lifestruggles #loveyourself #booknerd #newpost #blogger #bloomsbury #goodreads #igreads #scribd
For this day, Magic was born ❤️ Happy birthday, baby boy.

"And people who believe in God think God has put human beings on earth because they think human beings are the best animal, but human beings are just an animal and they will evolve into another animal, and that animal will be cleverer and it will put human beings into a zoo, like we put chimpanzees and gorillas into a zoo. Or human beings will all catch a disease and die out or they will make too much pollution and kill themselves, and then there will only be insects in the world and they will be the best animal." - Christopher, The Curious Incident of the dog in the night time by @mjphaddon . Yup! I love this kid. I've been switching between reading the book and listening to the audiobook while I'm painting @llgeekayll but I think I'm going to stick to just reading it now "in the night time"! It's almost midnight as I'm typing this but I just don't want to put it down yet, who knows I might just finish reading it tonight! PS. The audiobook is available @audible And it's narrated by the sweetest sounding kid! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #timesofgee #blogpost #currentlyreading #unitedbookstagram #bookstagram #bookblogger #betterreadschallenge #booktuber #bookish #bookishfeatures #bookworm #timelapse #stopmotion #lightroom #vegan #readersofinstagram #doglovers #dogs #reading #bookshelf #autism #lifestruggles #bloggerlife #booknerd #newpost #blogger #crueltyfree #goodreads #igreads #audible
A little before I started transitioning to a plant-based diet, I was a bit skeptical about it being "restrictive" and wondered what all will I have to stop consuming. But just when I entered the process, I realised that it's just a huge misconception and a myth that you have to restrict your diet. I still take my regular cup of tea or coffee like I did before, the only difference now is that I chose a healthier and a cruelty free alternative. So instead of taking a calf's share of milk, I use either oats or coconut! Both of which are easily accessible and pocket-friendly! And no one is put through any sort of pain or discomfort to make these two alternatives. I love putting coconut milk in my coffee when I want it to be a little creamier and oat milk when I want a lighter texture. Simple 💁🏻‍♀️ I eat the healthiest form of food in my daily life and still indulge myself in pizzas and burgers and cupcakes and what not! AND it brings me immense relief to know that just by making this small change, the animals will have a better life, climate change can be reversed and my health too will not be compromised ❤️ . . . . . . . . . . . . #timesofgee #blogpost #currentlyreading #unitedbookstagram #bookstagram #bookblogger #betterreadschallenge #vegan #bookish #veganinspiration #bookworm #veganlife #coffee #lightroom #veganfoodlovers #readersofinstagram #climatechange #climatecrisis #climatechangeisreal #bookshelf #noplanetb #lifestruggles #crueltyfree #booknerd #newpost #crueltyfreeliving #crueltyfree #goodreads #crueltyfreefood #animalovers

The Architect's Apprentice by @shafakelif is probably one of the very few books, I read a few months back, that I've truly been able to immerse myself into so much so that I still miss the world and characters. Going through the architecture mentioned in the book, on Google, really enhanced the whole experience of reading it. Most of all, I miss the elephant 🐘♥️ I'm aware I have a terrible memory, but as far as I can remember, I think I did upload a video about the book on my YouTube channel - Times of Gee - which I think I'll try again to revive probably :) have a look, maybe? 🐣 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #timesofgee #blogpost #currentlyreading #unitedbookstagram #bookstagram #bookblogger #readingvlog #booktuber #bookish #bookishfeatures #bookworm #tbr #bookphotography #lightroom #vegan #readersofinstagram #writersofinstagram #audiobook #reading #bookshelf #top #bloggerlife #booknerd #newpost #blogger #elifshafak #goodreads #ilovebooks #turkish
🔸Children who were researched in the study had their eyes examined and their noses measured, with their facial features categorised as either 'Negroid' or 'English'. Commenting on the fact that mixed-race young adults struggled to find work, Fletcher wrote: 'mothers of a better type regretted the fact that they had bought these children into the world, handicapped by their colour.' Echoing the hugely popular eugenics movement at the time, it seems that Muriel Fletcher thought that race mixing - or, as eugenicists called it, miscegenation - was such an abomination that the children of mixed race relationships had 'little future'. 🔸 A lot of human history and the current times make me wonder what's wrong with the human race. Who in their right mind would sit and look for reasons to cause rift amongst their own kind? We're the only beings to give colours a race and a religion, to differentiate and set allowances according to ones faith and schools of thought. The quote above is an example of how much precious time we've wasted as a race over the most obnoxious of things. And then in our education systems, we are literally taught to take ahead this hatred and stupidity through history lessons which actually should've taught to us with a perspective of unity and value of love and kindness. I'm glad @renieddolodge decided to write this book. Look around today, most of humanity is heavily deficient in these two qualities. In times like ours, love - across species, cultures, races, religions - is the only thing that can save us. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #timesofgee #blogpost #currentlyreading #unitedbookstagram #bookstagram #bookblogger #betterreadschallenge #booktuber #bookish #bookishfeatures #bookworm #tbr #bookphotography #lightroom #vegan #readersofinstagram #racism #speciesism #reading #bookshelf #humanity #lifestruggles #loveyourself #booknerd #newpost #blogger #crueltyfree #goodreads #igreads #scribd
It'll be a lie if I say that nothing has changed about how I read books now and at what frequency. Since last year, when my life completely changed in a moment, I haven't really been able to do the things I loved to and the way I did them. Reading, unfortunately, belongs to that list. But recently, I've been able to bring myself back to it but just not at the same speed and with the same enthusiasm. Nevertheless, I'm happy that I'm making any progress in reading in it's general sense. One of the books that I started reading and surprisingly have managed to stick to is The Strange Case of the Alchemist's Daughter by Theodora Goss. I'm only 30% into the book but this is definitely the land that brings Victorian era's fantasy characters to life. It's a retelling of characters such as Dr. Jekyll and Hyde; Frankenstein; Sherlock Holmes and Watson and many more. Not that the book has had my undivided attention, definitely not hooked to it but pretty interesting enough for me to continue reading it. The synopsis is available online of course, so I'll share my thoughts about it once I finish reading it (which could take annoyingly long,sadly. But hey! It's a start, right?) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #timesofgee #blogpost #currentlyreading #unitedbookstagram #bookstagram #bookblogger #betterreadschallenge #booktuber #bookish #bookishfeatures #bookworm #tbr #bookphotography #lightroom #vegan #readersofinstagram #frankenstien #sherlock #reading #bookshelf #victorian #lifestruggles #bloggerlife #booknerd #newpost #blogger #crueltyfree #goodreads #igreads #scribd
*It's like you said the other day," said Adam. "You grow up readin' about pirates and cowboys and spacemen and stuff, and jus' when you think the world's full of amazin' things, they tell you it's really all dead whales and chopped-down forests and nucular waste hangin' about for millions of years. 'Snot worth growin' up for, if you ask my opinion.* ▫️I got myself a copy of Good Omens when it was @booksontoast 's month pick and I was fully aware that I wouldn't be able to finish it in the month with my work schedule but I just wanted to read it! Really enjoying it so far but I just love the audibook @audible_in , the cast and narration together is such a fun experience!▫️ . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #timesofgee #blogpost #currentlyreading #unitedbookstagram #bookstagram #bookblogger #vlog #booktuber #bookish #bookishfeatures #bookworm #tbr #bookphotography #lightroom #vegan #readersofinstagram #neilgaiman #audiobook #reading #bookshelf #booksmagazine #top #bloggerlife #booknerd #newpost #blogger #crueltyfree #goodreads #igreads #audible
"Yes, my leg is fractured and I am dying of hunger and thirst and shame but if someone was to walk up to me and ask me Mutt, what happened, did you break your leg? I'll tell them, yes but what's really broken is my heart" - Red Birds by Mohammed Hanif. I'm only 6 chapters into the book but love it already! The book uses three voices to tell the story and walk us through a life with war - that of an American pilot, a teen in a refugee camp and his dog. @the.bewitched.bibliomaniac did I tell you I took this from your shelf? 🤭 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #timesofgee #blogpost #currentlyreading #unitedbookstagram #bookstagram #bookblogger #vlog #booktuber #bookish #bookishfeatures #bookworm #tbr #bookphotography #lightroom #vegan #readersofinstagram #writersofinstagram #war #reading #bookshelf #booksmagazine #top #bloggerlife #booknerd #newpost #blogger #crueltyfree #goodreads #igreads #quotes
”More than anything, I began to hate women writers. Frances Burney, Jane Austen, Elizabeth Browning, Mary Shelley, George Eliot, Virginia Woolf. Bronte, Bronte, and Bronte. I began to resent Emily, Anne, and Charlotte—my old friends—with a terrifying passion. They were not only talented; they were brave, a trait I admired more than anything but couldn't seem to possess. The world that raised these women hadn't allowed them to write, yet they had spun fiery novels in spite of all the odds. Meanwhile, I was failing with all the odds tipped in my favor. Here I was, living out Virginia Woolf's wildest feminist fantasy. I was in a room of my own. The world was no longer saying, "Write? What's the good of your writing?" but was instead saying "Write if you choose; it makes no difference to me.” - The Madwoman Upstairs by Catherine Lowell. .............................................................. Finished reading this book a few weeks back and I miss the whole atmosphere! The last living descendant of the Brontë sisters walks us through her mysterious, messed up, tragic and a dramatic life. A really well written fiction, The Madwoman Upstairs really makes me read more by and know more about the Brontë sisters! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #timesofgee #blogpost #currentlyreading #unitedbookstagram #bookstagram #bookblogger #vlog #booktuber #bookish #bookishfeatures #bookworm #tbr #bookphotography #lightroom #vegan #readersofinstagram #writersofinstagram #audiobook #reading #bookshelf #booksmagazine #top #bloggerlife #booknerd #newpost #blogger #crueltyfree #goodreads #igreads #scribd
I've been in such a reading slump for the longest time! Start one book after the other and finish none. I know I have a lot going on in life right now and reading, unfortunately, has had to take the back seat for a while. As much as I wish I could read all the books that I've really wanted to, I'm not able to make a connect with any and it's the best time to pick a thriller or mystery! So here it is - currently reading The Husband's Secret by Liane Moriarity. About a 100 or so pages in, so far so good :) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #timesofgee #blogpost #currentlyreading #unitedbookstagram #bookstagram #bookblogger #vlog #booktuber #bookish #bookishfeatures #bookworm #tbr #bookphotography #lightroom #vegan #readersofinstagram #writersofinstagram #audiobook #reading #bookshelf #booksmagazine #top #bloggerlife #booknerd #newpost #blogger #crueltyfree #goodreads #ilovebooks #readingslump
