Book Review: Bedtime Stories for Managers by Henry Mintzberg

August 19, 2021
Bedtime Stories for Managers by Henry Mintzberg

Here’s another book that was on my summer reading list! Bedtime Stories for Managers isn’t a title you’d expect from a management book, so I was pretty curious about this one. First up: this book isn’t exactly a collection of stories. I was imagining this to be satirical fairytales but this is more like approachable… Read More Book Review: Bedtime Stories for Managers by Henry Mintzberg

Book Review: Awkward by Ty Tashiro

August 17, 2021
Awkward by Ty Tashiro

I found this book when it was highlighted by the Public Libraries SG’s Instagram account and as someone who feels awkward a lot, I thought it was something that I should read. Written by Ty Tashiro, a self-confessed awkward person, Awkward the book breaks down the issue of awkwardness into three aspects: What is awkwardness?… Read More Book Review: Awkward by Ty Tashiro

Book Review: Rabbits by Terry Miles

August 16, 2021
Rabbits by Terry Miles

I can’t remember if I’ve mentioned this on the blog before, but one of the first fiction podcasts I listened to was Rabbits. And I enjoyed Rabbits so much that I ended up listening to everything by Pacific Northwest Stories (PNWS) – Tanis, The Black Tapes, The Last Movie, and Faerie. So you can probably… Read More Book Review: Rabbits by Terry Miles

Book Review: The Blind Earthworm in the Labyrinth by Veeraporn Nitiprapha

August 12, 2021
The Blind Earthworm in the Labyrinth by Veeraporn Nitiprapha

“Chalika, who was old enough to have a shadow of memory, could recall the time when the house was filled with sounds.” First line of The Blind Earthworm in the Labyrinth I can’t recall how I found out about The Blind Earthworm in the Labyrinth, but I know I was excited (and a little bit… Read More Book Review: The Blind Earthworm in the Labyrinth by Veeraporn Nitiprapha

Book Review: A Better Man by Louise Penny

August 10, 2021
A Better Man by Louise Penny

The alternate title of this book should be “All truth with malice in it”, since it seems to be a refrain for many of the characters. In A Better Man, Gamache is feeling the effects of his actions in Kingdom of the Blind. He’s accepted a demotion to the post of Chief Inspector, a position… Read More Book Review: A Better Man by Louise Penny

Rereading: The Truth About Forever by Sarah Dessen

August 9, 2021
The Truth About Forever by Sarah Dessen

I had a really good time rereading Just Listen so I decided to reread The Truth About Forever, which is the first Dessen book that I read and probably my favourite book of hers to date. Why? Because the first chapter brings me to the verge of tears every time I read it. The Truth… Read More Rereading: The Truth About Forever by Sarah Dessen

Rereading: Making Money by Terry Pratchett

August 5, 2021
Making Money by Terry Pratchett

Since I had a bit of time before I went to the library, I decided to reread another book – Making Money by Terry Pratchett. It’s one of the Discworld Ankh Morpork books, but it stars the ex-conman Moist von Lipwig (instead of being part of the Watch series). At the start of Making Money,… Read More Rereading: Making Money by Terry Pratchett

Book Review: Gone at Midnight by Jake Anderson

August 3, 2021
Gone at Midnight by Jake Anderson

Warren recommended this book to me and in his recommendation, said the book was “very disquieting”, which for me means that I’ll have to read it sooner or later. I first heard of the Elisa Lam case through the elevator game (The Ghost in My Machine did an excellent write up of the history of… Read More Book Review: Gone at Midnight by Jake Anderson

Option B by Sheryl Sandberg and Adam Grant

Since there’s some time before I start my MBA, my school sent over an optional reading list. And although the list is optional, you all know that I like to read so I was eagerly scanned through the list and decided to start by reading Option B by Sheryl Sandberg and Adam Grant. Option B… Read More Book Review: Option B by Sheryl Sandberg and Adam Grant

Book Review: The Doll Maker by Mary Burton

July 30, 2021
The Doll Maker by Mary Burton

The Doll Maker was recommended to me by a friend who enjoys serial-killer mysteries/thrillers and because we both enjoyed Liv Constantine’s The Wife Stalker, I ended up really enjoying this! The Doll Maker starts with two murders: one of a young boy caught up in a possible drug-dealing case, the other of a woman who… Read More Book Review: The Doll Maker by Mary Burton
