November 2018 Wrap-Up & Favorites

| Source |
Hello fellow readers! I can't believe that it's almost the end of the year. Time does fly by. Though I didn't read much in November, I did okay in the overall pop culture department. For one I finally finish watching all of 90th Academy Award best picture nominations. I'm almost done catching up to the latest season of Game of Thrones. I finally watched the anime that's been on my to-watch list a long time ago. As a result, I only read one book in November.

September-October 2018 Wrap-Up & Favorites

Hello fellow readers! I know it's already in the middle of November and I post this wrap-up just now. Honestly though, it's been difficult for me to find time to write which sadden me. I started this blog as my place holder to practice my English writing skill and I've grown to love it. Anyway, in September and October I finally started watching Game of Thrones. I used to plan to read the book first then watch the series. Considering that I barely have time to read at all, I decided to watch the series instead. Also, one of my colleagues convinced me to start the series and I finally succumbed. As for my reading, here are the books I read in September and October.

June-July 2018 Wrap-Up & Favorites

Hello fellow readers! I know it's already in the middle of August, but I still want to post a wrap-up for June and July. Yes, I didn't post a wrap up for June because I didn't post any review that month. Actually, posting a wrap up is a way for me to document what books I read in those months. So, let's get into the books that I read in June then in July.
August Readathon Updates & TBR
Hello fellow readers!
It's August already and as I mentioned in the previous post, I'm planning to participate in N.E.W.T readathon. Since the prerequisite for N.E.W.T is passing O.W.L, before I share my TBR for the N.E.W.T I'm going to wrap up my O.W.L first.

O.W.Ls & Tome Topple Readathon TBR
Hello fellow readers!
On my last update, I told you that I'm participating in two readathons. Now, I'm going to show you what I want to read for those readathons.
Just a Quick Update...
Hi fellow readers!
It's been a while since I last posted anything here. I've been busy adjusting myself to my new work life. I'm still reading, but I haven't got the time to write the reviews. It's such a shame because I'm excited to share my thoughts on books that I read recently. I'm telling you, these are some good books.
Anyway, I just want to give you a quick update that I'm actually participating on the Tome Topple Readathon! I'm also going to sit for O.W.L. this July (or doing the O.W.L. for magical readathon). The readathon itself was hosted in April, but I'm doing it this July because I didn't know about the readathon before and I want to participate in the N.E.W.T. readathon. As you know, to participate in N.E.W.T. you first have to pass the O.W.L. so that's what I'm aiming for.
As for the complete TBR, I will post it here later tonight or maybe tomorrow. I think that's all for now. Do you also participate in any of these readathons? have a great day and happy reading!

Hello fellow readers! I can't believe we're almost halfway through the year. I didn't read much in April. I mostly spent my free time watching TV series especially Grey's Anatomy. So yeah, I don't make a dent on my TBR piles but I had a good time. Anyway, here are the books I read in April.

Hi fellow readers! How are you? We're onto the fourth month in this year. How are you guys feeling about 2018? As for me, I finally read a book that's been on my TBR for years. First, because the book is difficult to get. When I finally got it I was so intimidated by how thick it is and most people said it's good so I was afraid I wouldn't like it. It turns out, I like it. It's my favorite of the month. Anyway, here are the books I read in March.

Hello fellow readers! Happy new year! I honestly can't believe that it's 2018 already. With new year comes new hope and of course, new goals, reading goals. In 2017, I couldn't complete my goodreads challenge which is fine by me because I made a big change in my life nearing the end of 2017. So I was busy with that. The good thing is, 2018 is a fresh start for me. I'm still doing the goodreads challenge, but I don't want to push myself really hard by setting a high goal.
