November 2019 Wrap-Up & Favorites

Hi fellow readers! The year 2019 is coming to an end. There's a big chance that I won't achieve my 2019 reading goal to read 36 books, lol. I only manage to read 3 books in November but it's a series which is one of my reading goals, to finish 5 series. So that's fine. Not to mention that the last book in the series is about 600-ish pages. Let's just say finishing a book with over 500 pages is a huge accomplishment for me. So here are the books I read in November.

October 2019 Wrap-Up & Favorites

Hi fellow readers! I honestly can't believe the year is ending and we only have two months left. Usually, this is the time when I start panicking for not achieving my Goodreads yearly target. But I'm not doing that this year. No, it's not because I've reached my goal. I still haven't reached my Goodreads goal (not surprised at all, lol). But this year I decided to not stress myself because I read for fun. When it stops being fun, then that's when I have to stop, sit back, and re-evaluate. However, I did read a lot in October and that makes me happy. So here's the books I read in October.

July-August 2019 Wrap-Up & Favorites
Hello fellow readers! It's October already and we're getting nearer to the end of the year. October means autumn for the northern hemisphere of the world. Though it doesn't really affect me cause I only know two kinds of season here, I still want to enjoy the supposedly cozy season and maximize my reading enjoyment. I know it's way over due. The last three months, I was so busy and didn't get the chance to write a wrap-up post. I didn't even read anything in September. But I still want to sum up what I read because I finally read classic Batman comics in July! Here's the books I read in July and August.

April-May-June 2019 Wrap-Up & Favorites

Hello fellow readers! It's been a while since I last posted anything on this blog. It's been waaayy overdue but I still feel the need to post this because it's actually been sitting on my draft for a long time. So here it is, my wrap-up for April, May, and June. Yes, three months. I haven't posted anything in three months! In terms of reading, I still read. Not as much as when I was a student. But at least I'm still reading. I even managed to finish two series and one duology lately which I'm satisfied with. I think I'm doing good with my reading. As for blogging, well, that's another story; and I'm going to fix that. Here's the list of books that I read in April, May, and June.

March 2019 Wrap-Up & Favorites

Hello fellow reader! It's March and the spring has sprung (although it doesn't really affect me since it still rains a lot where I live). Anyway, there's a lot of bookish events happening in March. To name a few, a big book fair was held near the city I live, then readathons. One particular exciting readathon is the Fantasy Adventureathon. It's quite elaborate really, with teams, routes, and points. But unfortunately I couldn't participate because of my schedule in March. On the other hand, although it seems like I only read three books, to me it was a lot considering two of them are 400-500 pages long. It's an accomplishment. These are the books I read in March.
O.W.L.'s 2019 Magical Readathon TBR
Hello fellow readers!
It's been a while since I post something other than reviews and wrap-ups. So here I am with my TBR for an exciting readathon, the O.W.L. readathon. It is a part of the magical readathon hosted by G over at Book Roast on YouTube. O.W.L. readathon starts from 1st of April until 30th April. How the readathon work is basically there are 12 prompts based on the Hogwarts' subjects. You'll pass the O.W.L. if you finish at least 2 prompts with an Acceptable grade. You'll get Exceeded Expectations if you finish 6 prompts and Outstanding if you finish 9 prompts. To make it even more fun, starting from this year there are careers choice that we can use as a guide to pick which prompts/subjects to choose. It is not mandatory of course. But if you want to spice up your readathon experience you can pick a career path to follow this year.
To learn more about the readathon, you can head over to Book Roast Youtube channel or Magical Readathon twitter account.
