book info: on sale: now copy from: public library pages: 348 review written: 21.12.17 originally published: 2009 edition read: Penguin NAL 2009 title: Rooftops of Tehran author: Mahbod Seraji In a middle-class neighborhood of Iran's sprawling capital city, 17-year-old Pasha Shahed spends the summer of 1973 on his rooftop with his best friend Ahmed, joking around one minute and asking burning questions about life the next. He also hides a secret love for his beautiful neighbor Zari, who has been betrothed since birth to another man. But the bliss of Pasha and Zari's stolen time together is shattered when Pasha unwittingly acts as a beacon for the Shah's secret police. The violent consequences awaken him to the reality of living under a powerful despot, and lead Zari to make a shocking choice... my thoughts: This book was first published in 2009 and I remember adding it to my list around that time but never actually reading it since I preferred checking out library books to ...
Hello readers!
I swear, I am taking notes and working on writing a review for The Plague by Albert Camus. I'm only about one and half quarters through with it and I've been at it for more than a week! This isn't as interesting book as The Stranger, but it's still magnificent!
As you can see, I've had a few changes to Pages! I never made an official post about it so here we are! I have the beautiful new theme thanks to Ana from Blog Milk. She's so incredibly down-to-earth, sweet and attentive to every tiny problem I had. It's been amazing working with her, and you should totally visit her shop is you're looking for a cute and professional Blogger OR Wordpress theme! I'm so satisfied right now: I don't have to worry about my design any longer. Now I can just focus on content!
Also, I have a new header and blog button made by my friend called Grace Anna. She's just as lovely to work with and I joke with her that she has mind-reading abilities that somehow make her understand exactly what I'm looking for. Can you guess what our inspiration was?
The defining film of my childhood and life. My most favourite film ever that made me who I am today. I thought it would be fitting to join this with my book blog, another defining part of my pre-teen/teenage life. It's so cute, right? I'm so in love and so happy with every bit of my website now! What do you all think?
I also have a new blog button if you know, you'd like to ooh say...add it to your blog? ~cough~ Yes yes. Ah, sorry about that :D
Another ridiculously amazing event that's happened is that I've been interviewed! By Amelia (The Authoress) for her Saturday Spotlight! LOOK! It's the first time I've ever been interviewed (I may have forgotten an earlier one? I have no idea) but it's very exciting! I've known Amelia in the blogging world for a while, and she's one of my old friends. She started blogging two years after my own blog had started and would talk quite often to each other. Yayayayayay, I'm really happy right now!
I wish you all a HAPPY Saturday and a fun rest-of-the-week. Keep reading :D My next post will be a review, I promise!
Best wishes :)
