Everything to do with books! Mostly book reviews, but occasionally, I have the non-review bookish post too.
I’ve had a nice pocket of time today to read (since I was coming back to Singapore) and so I managed to finish Wilding by Isabella Tree! It’s a fascinating book that looks at what can happen when we let nature take its course instead of trying to force land to yield increasing amounts of… Read More June ’23 Rereading: Day 14 – Wilding by Isabella Tree
Hello hello! I have been very sporadic with the blogging but I am reading! I’ve finished Mansfield Park and enjoyed it just as much as the previous times. A few thoughts: After I finished Mansfield Park, I immediately started on Rewilding by Isabella Tree. I remember really enjoying the book when I first read it… Read More June ’23 Rereading: Day 13 – Mansfield Part Part 2
After not really reading (or rereading) yesterday, I have started on another old favourite today – Mansfield Park! I remember someone saying that Fanny Price is Austen’s most unlieable heroine, and that is something that I’ve never quite understood because I do quite like Fanny. But more on that later. First, I want to talk… Read More June ’23 Rereading: Day 11 – Mansfield Park Part 1
Given that I really enjoyed The Red Palace by June Hur, I made sure to borrow The Silence of Bones when I passed by a library that had it. The Silence of Bones was actually the June Hur book I originally intended to read, since CamilleaRead’s review of it intrigued me so much! Set a… Read More Book Review: The Silence of Bones by June Hur
As planned, I finished Sense & Sensibility today and since I didn’t have time to write my originally planned post, it’s time for my update! After finishing the novel this time, I have decided that my current favourite character is Mrs Jennings. While the girls tend to think of her as being rather silly at… Read More June ’23 Rereading: Day 8 – Sense & Sensibility Part 2
Hello all! For the past two days, I have been rereading this beauty: While it’s not my first time reading Sense & Sensibility, it is my first time reading this edition (Chiltern edition). I was attracted to the gorgeous cover and though I already have a copy of the novel, I wanted this one as… Read More June ’23 Rereading: Day 7 – Sense & Sensibility Part 1
I can’t quite remember how this book got onto my TBR list but I’m always down for some history (especially on subjects I never thought of before) so I borrowed A Place for Everything and started reading. If I was smarter/more hardworking, I would be writing this review in a way that the first letter… Read More Book Review: A Place for Everything by Judith Flanders
So I started this rereading project and then… promptly did not blog about it for two days. But what can I say? It was the weekend and I found that I wasn’t on my computer and I didn’t want to have the habit of opening my computer all the time so I decided to just… Read More June ’23 Rereading Day 5: Weekend Recap
Yesterday, I did my month in review and mentioned that I was rereading The Little Book of Ikigai by Ken Mogi. Well, I managed to finish it today so I’ve been looking forward to rambling about the book now that I’m not writing a “proper” review. If you’re not aware, Mogi’s 5 pillars of Ikigai… Read More June ’23 Rereading: Day 2 – On Ikigai
You can tell that it took a while for me to finish my Wyrd & Wonder reads because they are all scheduled towards the end of the month! But this is the last one for now, and anyway it’s a book that I own which I erm… misplaced for perhaps two years before I found… Read More Book Review: Gwelf – The Survival Guide by Larry MacDougall
