This blog, as a reflection (however shoddy) of its creator, is mostly about her, people around her, things that she's passionate about or not for that matter; among other things. This is where she practices her writing. View all posts by Wajiha

I will always remember this as the last book I read on my Kindle before she breathed her last. She was such a faithful friend though. Stayed by my side through thick and thin, and through all the (not so nice) stuff life chose to throw at me. Sadly, it was her time to go and I’ll miss her loads. But maybe, this also means that it’s now time for me to finally go back to all the physical books I’ve hoarded over time and have never really paid any attention to 👀. Ze books are calling.

“I do not believe that all books will or should migrate onto screens: as Douglas Adams once pointed out to me, more than 20 years before the Kindle showed up, a physical book is like a shark. Sharks are old: there were sharks in the ocean before the dinosaurs. And the reason there are still sharks around is that sharks are better at being sharks than anything else is. Physical books are tough, hard to destroy, bath-resistant, solar-operated, feel good in your hand: they are good at being books, and there wil always be a place for them.”

The first Sarah Waters I ever read was The Little Stranger and what a gorgeous book it is. The twisted story, the complicated characters, the larger than life Hundreds Hall, everything about it haunted me for days once I finished the book. It possesses a quality not many contemporary novels come with these days — of being unforgettable.

Today was a rainy kind of day in Lahore. And rainy days in December are the best kind of days. The heater is out now. Warm clothes are not going back in for a while. It’s almost like a little carnival we’ve been blessed with before the inevitable onset of the very depressing (and never ending) summer days.

There was a time when I wasn’t too comfortable with the idea of book photography. In fact I never understood the need to put up aesthetic photos of books together with candles, cats, tea and what not for the picture to look just perfect..

Whenever I buy a new book I write my name on it, along with the date I bring it home. I’ve been doing this for as long as I can remember now. It is a rather strange habit to be honest but strangely comforting too. Almost like marking the beginning of an endearing lifelong relationship.
