Bust out your London maps! Needless to say, the city’s most central to London Belongs to Us. Anyone who lives in or has ever been to London is bound to appreciate the landmarks that the characters pass through in this book. I’ve never set foot onto the capital of the UK, so I might’ve derived greater joy if it had been set in Geneva, Paris, Rome, Berlin or another big city I have been to. Nonetheless, I appreciated the sentiment behind the heavy focus on the locale.

Go ahead and grab the June theme card to share it on your blog, on Twitter, Instagram, etc. We’d love to get the word out, so more people who’re interested in weekly rather than daily themes can join us.
Hot off the Press – May 30, 2016
Looking at the contemporary releases lined up this week, it’s evident that summer’s arriving. Vibrant colours and the sun are staying with us over the next couple of months. At the same time, there’re some great fantasy books coming out next month as well. Meanwhile, I’m gonna take my pick of beach reads below among these YA books hot off the press.
THE MEMORY OF LIGHT by Francisco X. Stork
The Memory of Light is such an excellent book. It’s not excitingly adrenaline-pumping, although there are some intense moments. On the contrary, it’s an exceedingly introspective book dealing with the realities of mental illness. It portrays the complexities of mental health and the difficulties of diagnosing and treating those who are mentally ill.
Project 52 – Balance
Balance can mean a great many things. When it comes to the books I read, I like variety. While I do read a lot of young adult fiction, I also read general fiction, the occasional classic or play, as well as a myriad of non-fiction books. Balancing between entertainment and learning keeps things interesting and reading across genres ensures I don’t get bored by more of the same.
