January to March wrap-up: Trying to catch up with all those goals set in the New Year excitement

How wonderful it would be if I could proudly say that I am returning with a vengeance! Unfortunately, things don't always go the way we intend them to. Earlier in the year, I confidently set a reading goal of 70 books this year, mentioning that I wished to read more. A simple calculation reveals that…

My 2021 Year in Books and What to Expect Next

Usually, I’d put 50 books as my target in Goodreads Reading Challenges and most of the time, I manage to read more than that (ranging from about 2 to 20 books). Confidence that I could do better coupled with my hope to read more led me to set my 2021 Reading Challenge at 100 books.…

The First Post of the Year is Always the One With Uncertain Goals

The first post of the year is always one that leaves me wondering: what should I do? While there's room for a review or thoughts on certain topics, an update may seem more apt. It is a new year after all, things are bound to change. By now, you must've seen this coming. Yes, this…

Recommendations and Recent Things #6

After a while away, I am back with, most miserably, no scheduled posts on hand. This made me realise that for the first time since goodness knows when, I have something to say for the "Recent Things" part of this post. And it is this: I'm in a horrid reading slump of the likes I've…

That One New Year Post Filled With Overambitious Plans

The variety of goals make the resolutions interesting and a fun challenge.

Recommendations and Recent Things #4

After a very long hiatus, this is a post meant to start things up and an attempt to keep things going again. Posts will come at a leisurely or at a rather sluggish pace, but this is a reminder that they will come.

Post Wherein I Announce My Return

It has been a long time since I have last written anything on here, and I confess that I have been having some problems deciding what to write. After a bout of thinking, I've decided that I don't particularly want to do reviews all the time, at least not a 100% like how I have…

A Little Update

As the title helpfully suggests, this post will be a short and simple update. Update about what? you may wonder. "Ah," I say knowingly. "Update about my blogging, of course." Now to cut things short, I'll be taking a break from blogging to focus on other matters that I may have let go out of…

Fantasy Fun Tag

I saw this tag over at Nose Stuck In A Book and I thought, as the title suggests, that it was really fun. Therefore, as you see here before you, I am doing this tag with questions about fantasy and stuff. What fantasy series would you want to be a part of? (You would be…

What’s Coming Next for Words and Nocturnes

The cursor blinked against the blank white screen rhythmically. It was not an inviting sight. Truth is, I was never a decisive person, and somewhere in the process of doing something (for example, blogging), I would always be tempted to drop out in the middle of said thing. Thoughts like this isn't worth it, this is taking up too much of my time, I'm not good at this would take up my mind, and very soon, I would be hurriedly be backing out of it while hastily making excuses.
