The Holy Week's long weekend is officially here. If you're looking for books to read to catch up on that reading habit you set this year, we've listed five books written by women. After all, we're still celebrating International Women's Month, with genres encompassing historical fiction and the dystopian era.
Your Utopia
From the brilliant author of “Cursed Bunny,” South Korean writer Bora Chung brings “Your Utopia,” a compilation of short stories that will allow readers to experience a variety of possible fates for us humans, from total demise because of a disease to an AI elevator that develops a one-sided love for an elderly person.
The Memory Police
Written by award-winning Japanese author Yoko Ogawa, “The Police Memory” is an International Booker Prize finalist. The story takes place on an unnamed island where things disappear, along with the memories that come with them. This book masterfully tackles the trauma of loss in a suspenseful drama setting.
The Fountains of Silence
“Inspired by the true postwar struggles of Spain,” this book follows the story of 18-year-old Daniel who travels in Madrid with his parents, hoping to know more about the country through his camera. But Daniel discovered more than he intended to do so, which endangered him and his loved ones. Written by Ruta Sepetys (“Between Shades of Gray,” “Salt of the Sea”), “The Fountains of Silence” is a must-read for everyone who loves stories inspired by real-life situations.
Loving the Sky
One of the most-read books from Wattpad is now available in hardcopy through Precious Pages publication. Written by Inksteady, it reflects what love is like for a young adult and the sacrifices he/she’s ready to make for that love, even if it means loving someone from afar.
Chasing in the Wild
With more than 129 million reads on Wattpad, Precious Pages publication yet again gives us a hard copy version of this widely read online book. Written by 4Reminct, it will bring back readers down memory lane about their campus love story and whether that story ended up with one happy ending or if life’s harsh reality drifted them apart.
