January 2023 Wrap-Up & Favorites

Source: personal collection

Hello fellow readers! I welcome the year of 2023 with horror manga to prepare me for the horror that I'd face in real life, back to work from office, no more remote working. All jokes aside, the reason why I finally read Junji Ito's manga is because in January I spend a whole week at home with my mom and sister. I won't be alone when I read those mangas and that gives me courage. Silly, I know but I'm not one who read or watch horror for sport. Anyway, here's the list of books I read in January.

November-December 2022 Wrap-Up & Favorites

Happy new year fellow readers! This post will mark the last of my monthly wrap-up in 2022. Hopefully in 2023 I'll be more consistent in posting my wrap-up and favorite (though let's be real, we know that won't happen). By the end of 2022, I managed to complete my Goodreads challenge which is to read 30 books. I merge November and December because I didn't finish any books in November. However, I watched good animes and films which I include in my favorites below.

October 2022 Wrap-Up & Favorites

We're almost at the finish line; or we already have (kind of?). I didn't read much in October for a reason. I finally went on a vacation again. Because of the pandemic, we couldn't really travel anywhere unless it's necessary. The only travel I did was from or to my hometown. So when the travel restriction is lifted, I went ahead and planned my vacation. I still read some books though. I also watched some good anime titles. As for the books I read in October, below is the list of them.
