We can’t tell you how many of us on Team Epic Reads spent years thinking you could only borrow physical books from the library when in fact, you can borrow and download FREE ebooks directly to your phone or e-reader. If you’re a broke book nerd, step one is to whip out the library card. We’re going to cover how you can download free eBooks from the library, find cheap ebooks that are on sale right now to binge, and our latest book recs with hopefully short library waits! There’s nothing like hitting download and having it zip right to your phone/e-reader in just a few seconds. And of course, the books you do want to read are not in your possession! So what’s a book nerd to do in these times? You can order a book online (support the indies!)-but what if you’re trying to save, or just seeking some instant gratification? And that, our friends, is where free & cheap eBooks come in. If you’re a mood reader, it can be very frustrating to go through every book on your TBR until you finally declare, I AM NOT IN THE MOOD FOR ANY OF THESE. Rather than respond to tragedy with seriousness, Geetanjali Shree's playful tone and exuberant wordplay results in a book that is engaging, funny, and utterly original, at the same time as being an urgent and timely protest against the destructive impact of borders and boundaries, whether between religions, countries, or genders.In this time of social distancing, we keep finding ourselves perusing our shelves over and over again trying to find the perfect book to read. To her family’s consternation, Ma insists on travelling to Pakistan, simultaneously confronting the unresolved trauma of her teenage experiences of Partition, and re-evaluating what it means to be a mother, a daughter, a woman, a feminist. Her determination to fly in the face of convention – including striking up a friendship with a hijra (trans) woman – confuses her bohemian daughter, who is used to thinking of herself as the more 'modern' of the two. Winner of the 2022 International Booker PrizeĪn eighty-year-old woman slips into a deep depression at the death of her husband, then resurfaces to gain a new lease on life. By Geetanjali Shree, translated from the Hindi by Daisy Rockwell
