Happy New Year! I hope your holidays have been wonderful. I was really excited for Christmas and New Year but wasn’t in the mood for reading. I only read three books last month but am glad I didn’t force myself to finish more. Instead, I spent more time trying to figure out what I want to achieve this year and spent more time with my family.
Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish. This week’s theme’s Christmas wishlist, so I picked out 10 books I desperately want to read but don’t want to purchase myself (either it’s too expensive or I’m afraid I will hate it if it turns out to be mediocre).

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish. It was hard to pick out 10 bookish settings I wish to visit because as much as I love a book, the setting could be the last place you want to be in, like The Hunger Games. So, I ended up picking 5 places only.
Hey, guys! It’s been so long and I miss my book-blogging community. After the past two crazy months, I finally have a little bit of free time to update this blog. Forgive me for being gone for so long without any notice.
October was a hellish month for me. I barely had any time to read and only managed to finish 3 books. I was in a serious reading slump, and I had no interest in any bookish stuff. It sucked so much. The first half of last month was the same, until things got better after the second half. That’s when I picked up reading again and enjoyed 7 reads.
Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish. This week we have a character freebie and I thought it’d be fun to make a list of books that feature non-human characters! I’ve chosen to feature five books I’ve already read and five other that are on my TBR shortlist.

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish. Since it’s fall, it’s another year of sharing the books on my TBR list for this season. Looking back on last year’s, I managed to finish 9 out of the 10 books I had put on my list. Hopefully, I can finish all of the books I want to read this fall.
I am pretty sure every bookstagrammer knows about Behind The Pages. They have the best usable bookish items that you can’t help repurchasing!
From what I know, the first products Behind The Pages sold were bookmarks, but then Gina, the owner of this blog/shop, starts making posters an bookish goats milk soaps. The store is a sensation in the bookstagram community! Later, bookish lip balms were also added, and now body lotions and perfume are available too.
Personally, I wasn’t very interested in the bookmarks. I always have my eyes on the soaps though, but since I am not sure if I like the scent or not, I didn’t buy any. Then, the lip balms were out and I have already purchased 7 of them up til now.
I know a lot of people wonder what each of the scents actually smells like, so I’m going to describe it the best I can.
