Saba Kapur's Blog - Posts Tagged "humour"

Hola! So I've finally started up a Goodreads account, which truthfully, I don't know why I hadn't done before. It's been a day and I've already found a heap of new books I want to read that I had never even heard of. It's a utopia!

This blog post is really just a short introduction. I'm Saba Kapur, hello! *waves* If you've already read my bio then you'll know the following information, but what the heck. Read on anyway! I am a 19 year old author currently based in Melbourne, and excitedly awaiting the release of my first YA novel, Lucky Me.

Now this is totally not a shameless plug, I promise, but the book does come out April 5th and I happen to think it's great, if you're into fashion, celebrities, mystery and humour. But then again, I could be a little bias.

If you'd ever like to ask me a question or get to know me a little more, then Goodreads is the best place to do it!

In the meantime, I'll get back to reading 'Black Ice,' which has me completely hooked by the way. I should have a review up in a couple of days!

You know it's a good week when you get through two novels and you loved them both. This is a review for 'Lovestruck,' which sadly isn't on Goodreads (but Google it!)

Now, I'll be very honest. Sometimes I find it hard to enjoy books that are set in Australia, which is hilarious considering I live in Australia. But maybe I've just spent so long reading books about London and New York that now if anything else comes along, it's a bit unsettling.

I picked up Melanie La'Brooy's book completely on a whim when I saw it at the library, and decided it looked cute. The story of a young, professional and her disastrous dating life in Sydney reminded me of my sister, and many of her misadventures in love.

Almost every line in this book was laugh-out-loud funny, and although there wasn't really a "clear" storyline, I just couldn't put it down. The main character, Isabelle, was so delusional that you couldn't help but fall in love with her crazy ideas and concepts about love. It was so well-written, and the dialogue felt so genuine. I may also be a tad biased, as the love interest shared a name with one of my own book characters, and I just knew I was going to love it.

Truthfully, I had never read anything by La'Brooy or even heard of her until I picked up Lovestruck. But I'm so glad I read this book. It was truly hilarious.

Now I have to go track down every other book she's written, and hope they're just as enjoyable!

Hello Lovers! Happy Valentine's day! If you are single like me, then I hope you enjoyed getting through your secret stash of chocolate and your pile of romcoms you saved for a rainy day (or as I call it, basically any day of the week). If you're not single, then please leave me alone so I can eat a tray of donuts and watch film adaptations of literally any Nicholas Sparks novel.

I finally finished The Scam, by Janet Evanovich and Lee Goldberg! Now, Janet Evanovich is my favourite author, so she could write a restaurant menu and I'd go and read it. But I've found the Fox and O'Hare books to be a little hard to understand at times. The characters jump from location to location really quickly, and sometimes it feels like the story is too fast paced. That being said, The Scam was probably my favourite one out of the series so far! It was a really interesting plot and the story really had me hooked.

I've also been doing a bit of writing this week, which felt so great, because it feels like I've spent half my life just editing the manuscript for my first novel. This second is going to be really great, I can just feel it!

I'll be starting Me and Earl and a Dying Girl this week, which I'm really looking forward to. I've heard amazing things about this book, so my expectations are high. Hope you have a lovely week! xx
