❝Books are letters in bottles, cast into the waves of time, from one person trying to save the world to another❞
.
.
This is the story of Red and Blue, two time-traveling agents from warring futures, who while working their way through the past, start to exchange letters—and fall in love
.
.
Several elements made this book a truly unique reading experience. For starters this story takes place in various locations at different points in time and within alternate versions of earth. As complicated as this seems it resulted in worldbuilding that was at times as familiar as it was foreign, leaving much open to the readers interpretation
.
.
If all of the aforementioned sounds confusing, pay it no mind...cause I promise it totally works. Even though this book was far from accessible and one needs to read it twice to absorb, savour and grasp what is being offered, it most certainly was one of the most enthralling

This is day 8 of the #diversespines photo challenge created by @spinesvines (posting books by black women and women of color)
.
.
For todays photo challenge (book and drink) I picked up Own Your Glow by Latham Thomas (@Glowmaven). This book is an inspirational, actionable, and wildly enriching companion for change. Packed with rituals, meditations, and snackable lifestyle tips ... and right now I am in need of all the aforementioned!!
.
.
To reignite my neglected selfcare routine I pour myself a cup of Kusmi Tea. While I enjoy many of the flavors, Rose Green Tea is the one that brings me the most joy & tranquility 🧘🏾♀️

❝Dear You, the body you are wearing used to be mine.❞
.
.
Myfanwy Thomas awakens in a London park surrounded by dead bodies. With her memory gone, she must trust the instructions left by her former self in order to survive. She quickly learns that she is a Rook, a high-level operative in a secret agency that protects the world from supernatural threats. But there is a mole inside the organization, and this person wants her dead
.
.
The Rook is the X-men meets Men in Black mixed with a pinch of James Bond and a very dry touch of British humor ... and surprisingly this blend totally works!! You’ll find the link to the review in my bio
.
.
Frankly, I just want more of wherever this came from and it seems that my wish is granted in the form of a book to tv series adaptation
.
.
The upcoming tv series will premiere on 30th of June on Starz and if you live in the Netherlands the premiere-date is the 1st of July on Ziggo
