Welcome, I'm Reesha, a 31 year old Pakistani woman living in London.
Join me on a literary odyssey where I will bring insightful book reviews, rich flavors of Pakistani culture and occasional peeks into my daily life as I explore literary wonderlands across the globe. Join me on a journey that transcends borders for a diverse, global reading perspective.
This channel motivates me to read and I hope my enthusiasm will encourage you to pick a book as well. Feel free to reach out to me on my Instagram ( I post a lot there), Twitter ( Its mostly retweet’s) or Goodreads!
Grab a cup of chai, coffee, kahwa or bubble tea and sit down to watch me gush about books ( If you are into that sort of stuff)
Cheers, Reesha ❤️

Im new on your channel, I start reading classics now Love your videos ❤
Welcome here, and thank you so much :) Hope you enjoy your time here
I absolutely love Bath! ❤
Look at those eyes! ❤
I really don't like saeed book bank, they just feel so capitalising off of books with zero appreciation for the books. I hate how most of them are all wrapped and you cant even go through them. readings in lahore is such a different (much better experience, you can just tell they have so much appreciation for the books
I really love Readings in Lahore too. Unfortunately they don't have branches in Islamabad, or Peshawar :(
Always love your lovely classic video ❤, stay blessed
Thank you <3
Thank you for beautiful classic video. ❤️
Thank you <3
Beautiful 😍

Thank you 🥰
Was sad I couldn’t attend. Loved the book and can’t wait to pick up a physical copy as it just so pretty!
You were missed

Very jealous that you got to go to her book launch! It is a beautiful book. 🎉
It really is!
I wish I'd been able to come down for this but didn't work with my work shifts. Looks like a lovely event.
It was :)
Lovely!
❤love the vlog! Entertaining as always. Loved seeing Bath through your lens!! So Austen-y 😍
Thank you so much 😊
Jane Austen's zombie secret. As we all know from the famous literary influencer Sir Edward George Earle Bulwer-Lytton, Jane Austen novel begins with the sentence:"It is a truth universally acknowledged that a zombie in possession of brains is in want of more brains." 🧐. As to wether I may, or may not intended such elucidation to entice a comparison between Jane Austen's original "Pride And Prejudice And Zombies" and Zeth-Grahame-Smith's copy "Pride And Prejudice", I shall leave to the better judgment of the best classics booktuber.
Amazing!
I'm glad you were able to attend the book launch of The Trouble With Mrs Montgomery Hurst by Katie Lumsden and got your first signed book. You met Coynie Reads, another BookTuber I follow, and that makes me so happy.
Yes, I did. It was wonderful meeting every one.
I also went to Topping and Mr B's in July but I missed Persephone! Will have to try to find that one next time. I love that Northanger Abbey quote.
I've read passages from several English translations, and they just didn't come together. English doesn't handle hexameter too well, it's a wayward language when it comes to poetry. My all-time favorite is the translation into Russian by Gnedich. It's another level: it pumps electricity through your blood from beginning to end
Thank you. I am fascinated by this. I know some of the Russian translators were really first rate. One of my primary regrets was leaving on the shelf a Russian translation of "Leaves of Grass," by Walt Whitman when I saw it in a used book store. I have some ability to read Russian, and am fussy about English translations of Russian Literature.
Good summary and very good advice. I too had trouble finding a translation that suited my style of reading and also found Pope’s translation the best for what I wanted. Partly because as I am older (and graduated before American school systems decided that students didn’t need to know English, Maths or the History of the country they live in). And, you are also right, Pope's verse flows better and that also enhances the readability of the story. Thank you for you time and insight.
Glad it was helpful!
Great Haul ! Adding some of these books on my own list :)
👍🏼
❤
Amazing, wishing to go there some day❤
German classics (authors are German unless otherwise specified): It sure feels like every student has to read either Goethe or Schiller in school, in particular: - Intrigue and Love by Schiller (burgoise tragedy) - The robbers by Schiller (tragedy) - The Sorrows of Young Werther by Goethe (epistolary novel) - Faust I & II by Goethe (tragic play) Both were active in the late 1700s/early 1800s and generally represent the german cultural and literary movements Strum und Drang, as well as Weimar Classicism. If you're interested in WW2 literature, you might want to look into exile literature, post-war literature, Trümmerliteratur ("rubble literature") and Vergangenheitsbewältigung ("overcoming the past"). Some examples off the top of my head: - Chess by Stefan Zweig (Austrian writer, exile lit.) - The Visit, The Physicists by Friedrich Dürrenmatt (Swiss writer, post war) - Berthold Brecht, father of epic theatre; notable works include The Threepenny Opera (pre WW2), Mother Courage and Her Children (exile lit.), and The Good Person of Szechwan (exile lit.) - The Tin Drum by Günter Grass (Vergangenheitsbewältigung) - The Man Outside by Heinrich Böll (Trümmerliteratur)
Hello Reesha! I hope you and your family are doing well. What an great video! It looked like a fun trip. I enjoyed looking at all the bookstores and sites you provided. Someday I hope to visit Bath. I look forward to your next video. Have a great day! 🙂
Thank you! You too!
I went to Bath for the first time this summer :)
It was my first time visiting Bath too and it’s a beautiful place
I loved your Jane Austen themed to Bath. Gorgeous bookstores and historic sites.
Thank you so much!

Great haul Reesha! I love that you picked up the short story collection by an author you weren't allowed to read when you were younger, now you can see what all the fuss was about! The feminist books you got sound really interesting. I'm wanting to read more nonfiction so I got some good ideas from you! I feel you on wanting to connect with and learn more about your home country and read in your first language. For me it's Mexico and Spanish 💜
You are very beautiful and without hijab your hair are shinny and awesome... Women's are beautiful to create a god don't waste your beauty... And again sorry my word hearts u... Have a good day...
Lovely bookstore! Hopefully someday I can do some traveling and see bookstores around the country - and the world!

I love this Channel.
Thank you
Hey I am so sorry I’ve reached your video after six years it has been a lot of time that I am looking for this shop Can you pls help me to find it with the address? I’ll be thankful to you🫶🏻 And can you tell me is there any Persian (Farsi)books available 🫶🏻?
Can we have vlogs on your life in Pakistan like I would love to see more of Pakistan through your channel 😊 This vlog was calming ✨️💕
Oh I am back in England now but when I travel back will surely do 😊
You can use book cover .
The first time I read Minor Detail (3 years ago, maybe) I was unimpressed, and I think the reason behind that feeling was that I was not ready for a story like that one. I re-read it about 2 months ago (it was an audiobook, actually) and I could feel everything I didn't before... It's definitely a tough read, you feel its cruelness, dryness and crudeness, but it's also worth the time since it depicts a tougher reality.
Saeed book bank is over rated and over pricey
I just watched your Saeed Book Bank vlog, and immediately searched for Feminisms of Our Mothers because it looks so intriguing! The publisher, Zubaan, has soooo many interesting books on their site, even one by Sara Ahmed who grew up in my hometown of Adelaide, South Australia. I'm not sure if they ship internationally but I might try buying their ebooks and seeing if that works!
I shop from Liberty books as well, but love finding books from old/weathered bookstores. Adds a sense of secrecy and personal discovery. It feels like it is uniquely mine.
Can u plzz suggest me a book with easy wording as i am new learner of English language, and want to improve my English language
Start with "A Man Called Ove".
