April 2021 Wrap-Up & Favorites

Source: personal collection

Hello fellow readers! How are you? Hope you all are safe and healthy. This year, the last half of April coincides with Ramadhan month. Usually, during Ramadhan I have more time to spare which means more time to read. However, for some reason this year in this particular month a project at work is scheduled to start which takes my time and concentration. Not to mention, during fasting month I have to make an adjustment to my life schedule (as in sleeping and eating). So as an entertainment, I prefer binge watching series to read books. Anyway, here's the list of books I read in April.

March 2021 Wrap-Up & Favorites

Source: personal collection

Hello fellow readers! How are you doing? March has passed by. It's film awards season so I spent my time mostly watching films and playing catch up with my to-watch list. On the reading front, I finished a trilogy that's been hanging over my head since I was in college. I'm a completist. I feel a bit itchy when there's a series that I haven't completed (unless the series is so bad I can't continue on). It was fun. I almost forget how fun it is to read a series. These days I mostly read standalone or even short books. So that was refreshing. Moving on, here's the books I read in March.
