In the previous warp-up post, I said that I had a reading slump. So in February, I still try to pick up my reading pace by reading horror/mystery books. Lo and behold, I read more books than I expected.

January 2026 Wrap-Up & Favorites

Hello fellow readers! We meet again in 2026. This year, I'd still like to post wrap up of the books I read each month and highlighting some medias I consume. As a starter, in January I was on a bit of a reading slump. Usually, I'd pick up a horror or mystery book to revive my interest in reading. It worked. My reading is picking up the pace in the next month so I'm glad I did that. Here's the book I read in January.

December 2025 Wrap-Up & Favorites

I should have finished writing this wrap-up post weeks ago. I just couldn't get myself to start (lol). The month where I should have been more free at work, where I expected to read a lot more books. I got distracted by other things which I kind of regret investing my time to. If you know the truth, you'd laugh with me. So I end up reading one book only; A penguin archive edition nonetheless, which is pretty short. That's fine. At least later I realize what's going on with me and able to shift my focus into something that's worth my time.

I almost finish catching up to last year wrap-up post. Please bear with me a little. In November, I finally finished a tome which has been haunting me for months. Aside of its size, the book itself tells a difficult story with hard topic which doesn't make it even easier for me to finish. But I did! Here's all the books I read in November 2025.

August - September - October 2025 Wrap-Up & Favorites

After a careful consideration, I decided to just merge three months worth of post into one. Mainly because nothing much happened on the reading and watching front. I did experience a lot of changes at work, organizational change. I'm still trying to adapt and adjust my habit into the new work situation. I traveled to Japan in September, but I don't want to talk about it. It's not even worth to be in my favorite post *sigh. Anyway, I first drafted this post back in 2025. It's already 2026 so without further ado here's an update on the three months of my 2025.
