Source: personal collection

Hi fellow readers! Now we arrive in the spooky month. Though I managed to read more than the previous month, my only regret is I didn't get to read horror books (even though I already have several Stephen King's books just laying there in my room). I read a Junji Ito's manga though.

Hello fellow readers! we're onto September now. During the month, although I didn't read many books, I read one which leave huge impression on me. It becomes my favorite book of the year. Thanks to that book, I brave myself to actually take actions to realize my childhood dream. Anyway, without further ado, here are the books I read in September.

Hello fellow readers, we're in my birthday month, yeeay (fake enthusiasm). What has my life became? It's like I'm back to those years where I hated my birthday. But now, no, not hate, indifferent. I feel indifferent, ugh. Don't worry, it gets even more despairing as you read through this post.

Hello fellow reader! We're back to another episode of me neglecting my wrap-up post so I have to catch up by compressing several months into one post! In my defense, I traveled for two weeks in May and June has always been hell month at work. In my defense, I didn't read or watch much anyway so I don't have much to write. Let's just say I was busy living life and being an adult like how I'm expected to *big sigh*.

Hi fellow readers! In April, I was trying to get back on track with my personal projects. Unfortunately, work suddenly became very hectic toward the end of the month. I'm supposed to prepare myself for my trip on May but that didn't happen. Considering all that happened at the end of April, I still manage to finish three books in which two of them are mangas. Here's the books I finished in April.

March 2024 Wrap-Up & Favorites

Source: personal collection

Hello fellow readers! I only finished two books in March because I traveled and went to two concerts in March. March also marks the beginning of Ramadhan month so a lot needs to be prepared and adjusted. Anyway, March was fun (mostly because of the concerts) and because it's Ramadhan, the work hour in my office was adjusted. Still, because of the sahoor and whatnot I ended up sleeping a lot less than I usually do and became a zombie most of the time. Back to the reading experience, here's the list of books I read in March.

Hello fellow readers! I'm still catching up with my monthly wrap-up and we're on the second month of the year now. In February I read more than I did in January which is a good thing. Truthfully, I miss reading so I'm relieved that I could spend more time to read in February. Anyway, here's the books I read in February.

Hello fellow reader! This post marks the first wrap-up of 2024. I know it's super duper late but I've been busy. Though I didn't read a lot of books in January, I still want to share a bit about what I read and perhaps watch in January.

December 2023 Wrap-Up & Favorites

Source: personal collection

Hello fellow readers, we've finally come to the end of the year. Reading-wise, I think I did okay. I had free days from work which I didn't use wisely. I ended up sleeping or just staying in bed scrolling through social media instead of going out with friends or reading books or even finishing those illustrations that I said I would work on during the end of the year holiday. Man, time goes by so fast. I'm considering putting that on my new year resolution, to be more discipline with my time and use it wisely. Anyway, these are the books I read in December 2023.
