About
Amira Talks was a dream that seemed too far to come true; I never imagined I'd have the courage to own a website, let alone creating everything all by myself.
About me
I'm passionate about life, books, deep talks, and night walks... And rain.
I LOVE being so many people, but only me at the same time. Sounds lunatic, doesn't it?
Books have been my escape whenever I needed social detox (or had an exam and decided to read 700 pages of toxic love instead of studying) and they helped me create my own reality. I loved trying different shoes; cordovan loafers acting like Robert Langdon traveling all over Europe, or as modernly as possible (and as Turkish as possible) in Elif Shafak's adventures as an Ottoman architect, or a simple "Stambouliote" student.
Most people start writing when they indulge themselves in reading; it usually happens as a result of too much reading you end up wanting to get all of those books you read out of your mind, into a sheet of paper, wash your hands of it, and let people do whatever they see fit. I, on the other hand, started with writing as a joke, and ended up being joked at by other authors; authors who wrote what I once thought would be my own words.
So here I am, writing to you dear readers, books perceived by me, with my own eyes, with my onw words, hoping for nothing but maybe rediscover myself without those books)
What I do
Whether You're a Bookworm, a beginner reader, or just someone who's into aesthetically pleasing pictures of books, you've found THE place for that.
You know the moment an author hit you with a sentence you’ve been feeling/thinking about all day. Or when you thought about writing it yourself two days ago. Or when the book you’re reading matches the spiritual state you’re currently in. I know for sure that books are far more than just pages gathered together, and I’m here to share my readings with you.
I might not be an author… yet, but I tend to have internal monologs that are sometimes worth sharing.
Currently working on a podcast that might seem like intrusive thoughts at first, but they sure are a form of therapy to me, and they might be as well to you too…
