Issue #18
Hi Page Turners,
I can't believe it is the end of June already. Yes I know I always say this but it has gone to quick. I am glad the month ended with celebrating Eid and a reflection of the last six months and planning and hoping and praying for the upcoming six months. Let me know how you ended your month and your upcoming plans.
Books 📚
So... I have been in a slump. I don't know if it is the mood I am in (I am a mood reader) the heat getting to me or i genuinely just do not like the books I am reading. Actually its not even that I don't like the books its I can't get past 100 pages of it without getting frustrated with it.
I did finish the audiobook of The Island of Missing Trees by Elif Shafak which is one of my all time favourites. Check out my PB review- https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/4707759825?book_show_action=false
I will review the audiobook but with this week's crazieness I haven't had a chance.
Recommend me some books that I can devour please!

Opinion piece📰
In anticipation of Wimbledon starting on Monday Roger Federer and Kate met Wimbledon's Ball Boys & Girls, who knew she was great at tennis? I also finally watched Break Point part 2 on Netflix and it was amazing but I am going to do a full post on that on my blog so subscribe to my blog so you don't miss out on the post.
I also watched Michelle Obama's The Light We Carry interview/tour thing she did with Oprah Winfrey. Great accompaniment to the book and Oprah asked some great questions. Would recommend to watch after you read the book. Michelle is a great storyteller.

I felt like the Titanic sub was a scapegoat against bigger stories such as the Greece boat.
💭 My 3 am thoughts 🕒
It is scary to think how certain situations are cover-ups or orchestrated by the government.
