Published on : 2021 || Format : ebook || Location : Canada One line review : When Kiran runs away from home to another country, to escape her rapist, she doesn't realize how long it is going to take her to feel like herself again. ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ “Passports and boarding passes, please,” drawls the blond, goateed man, towering a foot above us both. I pass him both my and Mom’s documents and attempt the smile that every person of color has mastered. The one that reads, I’m thoroughly nonthreatening. Please don’t pull me aside and racially profile me. Thoughts : I can't remember how I found this book or why I chose to read it. It was available on my library's Overdrive catalog and I'm glad I made the time to read it.

As the title says, I just got my new car! *drumroll please* It's a white 2007 Honda Accord, and I'm just relishing driving the huge sedan! I don't have any pictures yet, so I'll let you google if you wish. ;-)

LOL! You can see I am excited, because this is my first car, so it feels great!
I had a hectic week basically. Today's my only weekend - but hopefully this means my very busy days are over.
As I said last week, I'm doing the Game On! Diet, which isn't going too well for me, because I've always thought my diet was healthy - and I even lost weight with that. But now, I'm expected to tighten it further? I somehow don't see myself succeeding in that, but like I said, I'll use this as an opportunity to get to know my meals even more intimately. Other than that, the game is going decent - not excellent, because I get lazy every once in a while.
Off to read some book now - Happy reading and happy blogging!

Helen, that's something I strongly believe in. No more SHOULDs! Just respect the body but love life too.
Juju, lol, I'll post one soon as I take one.
Jude, thank you so much!
Ash, it feels so great to have a car finally!
Please don't say you won't succeed that is totally accepting failure, optimism babe.
BTW - I linked you to my RIP Challenge post and realised you had linked me from Creepers, I didn't realise :-)
