About Nak

My name is Danika, but when I was a child my family called me “Nak”, and the name kinda stuck. I love books and believe strongly in the power of stories to transport us, teach us, challenge us, and shape us. This blog is a platform for me to share my thoughts and recommendations on the books I read.

I hope you enjoy.

I've been loving everything by @chimamanda_adichie I've been loving everything by @chimamanda_adichie these days. Just have two books left to read by her, and then I'll be sad until she publishes something else. Check out her novels if you love learning about other peoples and cultures, if you love Nigeria, if you love heart rending stories of the best and worst in humanity, and if you love gorgeous literary fiction. #anakforbooks #books #bookstagram #booklover #bookaddict #bookaholic #bookworm #bibliophile #readersofinstagram #read #readsomething #goodreads #fiction #novel #whatanovelidea #literature #getliterary #bookreview #bookreviewer #blogger #bookblogger #chimamandangoziadichie #purplehibiscus #blackauthors #nigerianliterature

Hi there. It's been a while. Like seriously, it's Hi there. It's been a while. Like seriously, it's been ten months since I've posted on this account. That's because I got pregnant with #3 (yay), which meant I was sick as a dog (yuck), and now I have a precious, wonderful, brand-new nugget to love on (super yay!) During the last ten months I haven't written a thing, and I've barely read anything either. I only just finished Caramelo here, after starting it in April!!! Caramelo was good, but not a favorite, because I tend to prefer plot-driven, mostly linear stories, and this is far from that. It's an experience, a memory, an inundation of the senses. It's an ode to the imperfection of memory. An exploration of the murky line between history and story. A snapshot of the transnational, transmigration experience of Mexican Americans, American Mexicans, and every caramel shade in between. #anakforbooks #books #bookstagram #booklover #bookaddict #bookaholic #bookworm #bibliophile #readersofinstagram #read #readsomething #goodreads #fiction #novel #whatanovelidea #literature #getliterary #bookreview #bookreviewer #blogger #bookblogger #caramelo #sandracisneros #mexican #latinxauthors
LOVED this duo by Lisa See. So full of historical LOVED this duo by Lisa See.

I'm not entirely sure why, but for some reason, I I'm not entirely sure why, but for some reason, I always end up hankering for some Jane Austen in the fall. 📚 Also, Persuasion is probably my favorite ❤️❤️❤️ 📚 #anakforbooks #books #bookstagram #booklover #bookaddict #bookaholic #bookworm #bibliophile #readersofinstagram #read #readsomething #goodreads #fiction #novel #whatanovelidea #literature #getliterary #bookreview #janeausten #reviewer #blogger #bookblogger #persuasion
I always have such a hard time reviewing Dara Horn I always have such a hard time reviewing Dara Horn's novels because they're so weird and unsettling, but I absolutely love them. 📖 Eternal Life explores a lot of questions about life, death, purpose, and meaning. Fair warning: Horn doesn't like to answer the questions she poses. She likes to leave her readers thinking them over long after they've closed the book. 📖 Check out my full review at anakforbooks.com 📖 #anakforbooks #books #bookstagram #booklover #bookaddict #bookaholic #bookworm #bibliophile #readersofinstagram #read #readsomething #goodreads #fiction #novel #whatanovelidea #literature #getliterary #bookreview #bookreviewer #blogger #bookblogger #eternallife #darahorn #jewishwomen #jewishauthors #jewishfiction
Vacation weekend ❤️❤️❤️ Heading to the Vacation weekend ❤️❤️❤️ Heading to the lake with the family. Even though the temperatures have dropped way more quickly than usual this fall, I'm looking forward to some sun and sand and this book (as strange as it is). 📚 Also, it's Rosh Hashanah! Shana Tova my friends. Here's hoping and praying that the Jewish New Year brings better things 📚 #anakforbooks #books #bookstagram #booklover #bookaddict #bookaholic #bookworm #bibliophile #readersofinstagram #read #readsomething #goodreads #fiction #novel #whatanovelidea #literature #getliterary #bookreview #bookreviewer #blogger #bookblogger #ataleforthetimebeing #ruthozeki #vacation #vacay #lakedays #roshhashanah #shanatova #jewishnewyear
Trying to inspire myself to work on my novel. I ha Trying to inspire myself to work on my novel. I had a whole plan about writing 1000 words a week this year, but then COVID happened and made all our routines screwy. The kids started going to part-time preschool last month, but they've already missed out on two weeks because of COVID related incidents. So I've lost the momentum I had, and it's really hard to commit to writing when the kids might need me as soon as I type the first word. ✍🏼 Also, I have an accidental color scheme going on. Hunter green pants, sage green mug, and a green book. Wonder what this says about my mood today 🤔 ✍🏼 #anakforbooks #books #bookstagram #booklover #bookaddict #bookaholic #bookworm #bibliophile #readersofinstagram #read #readsomething #goodreads #fiction #novel #whatanovelidea #literature #getliterary #bookreview #bookreviewer #blogger #bookblogger #writinglife #momlife #covid #aspiringnovelist #writersofinstagram #writer
