Hey, folks! Do you still remember me? I know, I’ve been away for quite a while there. Again. I also migrated to another blog name, so I hope I get to earn back my followers. My old blog has been really… chaotic in terms of connecting it with my socials so I finally decided to move to a new one.

Anyways, enough rant. Today I’m back with another bookish list about the books I would love to read before the year ends! Given my schedule, errands, and everything that’s been going on in my life lately, this is quite ambitious, but for the sake of making a list, here it is anyway:

It’s a few days late, but Happy Valentine’s to all of you! I know, I’m always late when it comes to posting celebratory stuff. Forgive me, but I’ve been crazy busy the past week and this week. Right now, I’m just squeezing writing this post because I just took a photo of my favorite romance novels last weekend!

February has always been coined as the “love month” because of Valentine’s Day and I wouldn’t want this month to end without posting and hyping up my favorite romance novels! So without further ado, here they are: Continue reading →

End of the Year in Books

Hi, everyone! We’re now down to the last month of the year and, wow, did time fly way too fast. At this point, I’m not even sure if that’s a good thing because it sure felt like I’ve lost a year of my life at home. Haha But despite this year being a pain in the arse, it sure as heck been one of the greatest reading year I’ve had since 2017. 2017 was a very challenging year for me, and one thing I realized now is that I do turn to books for comfort whenever life becomes too hard for me to bear.

So today, I’m doing the End of the Year Book Tag which I’ve been seeing around the booktube community and saw that one of my bookish friends here in the internet did it on her blog, too. I remember doing a similar post to this one at the first half of the year, so I decided to do it now, too: Continue reading →
