Sunday Post. Giving It One More Opportunity

Sunday Post is a meme hosted by Caffeinated Book Reviews.

I miss blogging. I miss building ties with book lovers alike. I miss knowing how everyone's week has been. Not only that, but I miss looking at beautiful book hauls. However, most of all, I miss this part of my life. Yet, life is chaotic and full of choices and surprises. Time becomes short. And, after spending the whole day looking at a computer screen, the last thing I feel is to spend more hours looking at the computer screen. So, let me give this space one more opportunity.

Happy New Year! A Brief Recap, My Expectations and Reading & Blogging Challenges

Happy New Year! 🎉 If 2023 welcomed you with a power outage and a flood, raise your hand. 🙋🏻‍♀️ The first morning of the new year was chaotic -- to say the least. I guess the year just had to start with a bang. Anyway, may 2023 bring new books, new goals, new achievements, and a lot of new inspirations on your life. Wishing you a year fully loaded with happiness. 💛

Sunday Post. Did I Buy Too Many Books?

Sunday Post is a meme hosted by Caffeinated Book Reviews.

When I wrote, "see you next Sunday," I was naive and had too much hope. 😋 I still have to perfect my blogging schedule. I just spent a long time without blogging, and I need to learn how to balance work, life, and blogging again. It might take me longer than I want to, but I will do it! 🤞

Favourite Books & Comfort Books, All the Same?

Discussion article alert! 😁 I confess, I did not think I still had the ability to write discussion posts -- okay, blog discussion posts because I think that what I do for a living can be described as a 10k to 200k words "discussion post." But inspiration comes from the strangest places -- okay, Twitter is not the most bizarre or odd place to find inspiration. I saw this tweet about one's favourite book and comfort book a thousand years ago, and it was the kick-off for this discussion. So, is my favourite book different from my comfort book?

Sunday Post. One More Hiatus

Sunday Post is a meme hosted by Caffeinated Book Reviews.

Some days, you wake up thinking, "Blogging is no longer for me." Other days, you wake you with a thousand post ideas popping in your head and think, "There are so many book conversations I want to have." So, after another return followed by a hiatus, which I thought would end my blogging hobby, here I am, AGAIN! 😅 I'm not sure if "Sunday Post" is still an active meme, but this has always been the perfect spot to begin anew after a long time without writing.

TTT. 7 Books I Was SO EXCITED to Get, but Still Haven’t Read

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl.

 

Top Ten Tuesday wants to shame us all this week. It's calling out our compulsive book-buying habits and exposing the happiness of finally getting the book we wanted only to put it on the TBR pile and never pick it ever again. Okay, "ever again" is too harsh. Let me replace it by "only picking it a thousand years later after cleaning the dust and some spiderwebs." Better, right? 😋 Now it's time to start my guilt trip with seven books I wanted so freaking much, but I have yet to plunge into their worlds.

 

Sunday Post. No More I'm Back

Sunday Post is a meme hosted by Caffeinated Book Reviews.

HELLO! I think it is time to stop writing "I'm back!". 😅 The last few months have been pretty eventful -- I fear I have been on an unlucky strike -- and blogging just wasn't a priority. In fact, even reading was not a priority. After flying through the pages in January, I had trouble reading one book per month. But now that my PhD studentship has begun, I'll be back to the reading and writing world -- and hopefully, to the blogging world too.
