Recent read: Sightseeing by Rattawut Lapcharoensap A wonderful collection of short stories set in modern Thailand. Sensitive, varied, and extremely engaging—from the story of a young man taking his mother, who is slowly going blind, on a sightseeing tour of some remote Thai islands to that of a young girl trying to escape the pervasive reach of the town bully, who is slowly ruining her father in the cockfighting ring, there is so much of interest here. I devoured this collection and was never bored. #readingtheworld #readtheworld #worldliterature #thailiterature #rattawutlapcharoensap #bookstagram #booksofinstagram #readersofinstagram #bookworm #whatimreading #culturetripbooks

No trip to Dublin is complete without a visit to Hodges Figgis. This time I found this beautiful edition of At Swim Two Birds commissioned for the bookstore’s two hundred and fiftieth anniversary. #hodgesfiggis #flannobrien #atswimtwobirds #ireland #irishbooks #bookstagram #booksofinstagram #readersofinstagram #beautifulbooks #goldfoil #giantscauseway #booksinbed #readtheworld #bookworm
