books, planners and obsessions
We're almost halfway through the year, y'all! And what a year it's been. The one thing I'm going into planning for June with is flexibility and the bare minimum. I kind of did this for May as well but now I'm sure of what spreads I really need and what I don't need. Let's get… Continue reading June 2020 Bullet Journal Setup
“Don’t judge a book by its cover.” It’s advice everyone’s heard at some point. Covers, people seem to think, represent only the surface level appearance of a book, which is why it’s bad to judge books for their appearance instead of their substance. And while it’s true that the content of a book is the… Continue reading How to Judge a Book by its Cover // Analyzing Cover Trends in Different Genres
It's the end of May, y'all! Time is flying by, especially now that I'm kind of used to staying at home and am adjusted to this routine. It's been almost three months of staying at home.
The first time I ever heard of/saw this book was when I was going through book lists for a 2020 Popsugar Reading Challenge prompt. The prompt was to read a book set in a country starting with "C" and this book fit because it's set in China during some parts. It was only after I read the book that I found it being mentioned everywhere. It is quite popular! Unknowingly, I had read a book which is revered as a classic.
This book was #1 in my Goodreads TBR which means I added it back in 2013. I was actually in 9th grade then so I was very close to the target audience. I'm so sad that it took me this long to actually read this book. If I had read it back then, I would have loved it so much more.
It's been a slow week of reading. Remember how I was reading 3-4 books a week for the last couple months? Well, it slowed down a little this week. Instead, the number went to another section.
It's tea time! I was confused on what to post today since I had multiple ideas. As I couldn't make a decision, I put up polls on Twitter and Instagram. In both places, this post got the most votes so here we are. I got myself a hot cup of tea as well to set… Continue reading if we were having tea… // 17th May 2020
I've looked forward to this book ever since I heard about it. The Poet X was SO GOOD and cemented the author as one of the really good ones for me. And I expected quite a bit from it because it has gotten a lot of praise among my reader friends.
Hey everyone! Okay so I wasn't actually going to update my reading this week. Mostly because I posted just yesterday and also my eyes are STRAINED this week. Like, my eyes are kinda red as I type this right now.
Hey everyone! I haven't done a Top Ten Tuesday post in a long time but today's prompt is one that I'm excited about. I need this chance to talk about books that I abandoned and all my opinions on them.
Verity showed up in my radar when I was looking for books to read for the 2020 Popsugar Reading Challenge prompt "book with an upside down image in the cover". Verity was listed in the book recommendations list for this prompt and I decided to try it.
Hey everyone!* My initial plan was to update y'all on my progress with the reading challenges every month. And I kept it up for two months before forgetting about it...
I have had a GOOD reading week y'all, and I can't wait to talk about it. It's a good thing y'all get my opinions through these posts because I can not review all the books I read in detail. I read more than I can review haha.
Hey everyone! How is it month 5/12 already? My brain is not ready to accept that I have to write dates with 05 in the month area. March and April pretty much did not exist. My bullet journal is not used so much anymore since I'm staying at home with no events. Mostly I use… Continue reading May Bullet Journal Setup
This book has always been in my mind as a "future maybe read". It wasn't on my TBR explicitly until my book club gifted me this book for my birthday last year. Coincidentally, my book club also picked this book as our Book of the Month for April. Hence all of us who haven't read it yet got to read it together. This motivated me to finally read Circe.
