Book Read Updates






Started draft on: 16 August 2018


I read at least four books in two months;


Ransom Riggs' Miss Peregrine's Peculiar Children book 2 and 3;


Hollow City (book 2), Library of Souls (book 3)
finished reading: 7th Jul 2018, 18th Jul 2018

I was pleasantly surprised when i continued Rigg's book 2. I read one third
of the book last year but stopped becoz I find it dull. When i continued last month, I was surprised how entertaining the book actually is which led me into reading the third book too. Pleasantly surprised again and the book is a good book with twisted intrigues. 
I'm so glad I decided on picking up the books after the Miss Peregrines's Home for Peculiar Children movie came out.
Believe me when I said, the book is always better than the movies.

Rainbow Rowell's Attachment and Landline


finished: 13th Aug 2018

finished: 15th Aug 2018


I don't know about other Rowell's reader but there's a hook here! Like, it doesn't take me long to finish any of her book. ðŸ’—💗💗💗
it's crazy. 
coz if you remember me telling you, when I'm hooked to a book, I forgot to eat and sleep. Not healthy. Don't do this at home, kids.

Rowell's always bringing tears to my eyes. but only becoz I was emotionally attached to the story on so many levels. I especially cried towards the end of Landline.

I think a few more. I'll have to update photos later.
I finally thought of changing my WaterMarks; from Clover Leaf to Sakura Flower.
coz I'm obsess about going back to Japan. ðŸ˜‚😂😂

I read 5 books in two months!

After I read Riggs book 2 and 3, I continue on reading the companion book; Tales of the Peculiar.


finished: 23rd Jul 2018
also, it was Daniel Radcliffe birthday ðŸŽ‰ðŸŽ‰ðŸŽ‰

I made an audio on one of the chapter from this book.
Maybe I try and post them via youtube? if that's allowed. ðŸ¤”


The 6th book I read after all the above is the classic Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen.


finished:24th Nov 2018.
 in two days. it's that simple. ðŸ˜‚

I read this while I was doing my laundry. 
Why I bought it? becoz I was curious why it was such a beloved tale.
After reading it? It was ok. 
In my teenage years, I would swoon like crazy over it..now, noh. Life's too real to be fallin all over book characters. BAHAHAHA hashtag bitter.

I always feels good once I finished a book.
feels like I've accomplished something.

I always said this every year; I need to finish all my unread books before the year end.


but

look

at

this


two towers of unread books
you might notice how some of the books here are from way back when. Like, I don't know why I keep putting off from picking them up to read. ðŸ¤·


oh I should mention!

Just as I was feeling accomplish for finally finishing all the Peculiar books,
I bumped into this at Best Eastern


Ransom Riggs A Map of Days


laik... 

I told myself, after Pretty Little Liars, I am not gonna follow any other book series.

So

Why?

Now I have a new series to follow, I guess.

What just happened?

but on second thoughts, I think it's ok. I remember being super lost at Library of Souls' ending. I guess, here's my answer to all the questions I had.

Ok.


Right, that is all for this post. 

Next post will be a break down of all the unread books. 

and possibly my first ever gift away post.

we'll see ðŸ˜‰

. . . 

Bonus:

I started jotting down dates slash times of when I started and finished reading a book.


Landline. 
look how I supposed to stop at chap 18 but continued until chap 24.
a real life meme; JustOneMoreChapter
😂😂😂


Library of Souls.
took longer coz most of the time I only read during lunch time at work.


I did it becoz in the beginning I felt the need to prove to people how it's possible to finish a book in short amount of time but after that, I only did it for myself. and ended up like doing it. like, a competition with myself. hashtag how fast can i finish this book 
LOL don't ask.

as I was saying, initially it was to prove to other people of what I can do but soon after, it was to prove to myself that I can do it. I am capable of this.

Lesson of the day: People will believe what they want to believe despite you trying to prove yourself to them.
