I’ve been wanting to reread my books about tea but I needed a palate cleanser after Brave Story. So I ended up reading The Illustrated Mum (I’ve been meaning to read the Sarah Dessen novels I own but I haven’t been feeling it) and it actually has a lot of similarities to Brave Story. Well,… Read More Daily Reading: 18th May//The Illustrated Mum
I’ve mentioned it before, but the work-from-home thing has really gotten into full swing now that the factory is up (and I have work to do) which means that… I’m pretty tired. So I took a break from the daily blogging on Friday and yesterday. I wanted to take a complete weekend break from the… Read More Daily Reading: 17th May//A Short Break
I managed to read about a hundred more pages of Brave Story today, so I’m now into the Vision part of the series. Vision is basically something that Wataru thought up and because he likes video games, it’s really like an RPG. Although I remember enjoying the adventure the first time I read Brave Story,… Read More Daily Reading: 14th May//How Zelda is Enhancing my Reading Experience
Today, I started Brave Story which I have been half eagerly anticipating and half dreading. The anticipating stuff is obvious – I remember really enjoying this when I read it and I just finished The Gate of Sorrows (review… will be posted soon) and I loved that too. The dread part, though, is another matter.… Read More Daily Reading: 13th May//The Bad Beginning in Brave Story
Contrary to my expectations, I managed to finish The 13 1/2 Lives of Captain Bluebear today! It’s a brick of a book (just over 700 pages) so I was planning to devote the week to it but the book was really just too fun and I flew through it. Also, I started this rereading with… Read More Daily Reading: 12th May//Reading Fast and Slow
I read The City of Dreaming Books in 2018 and have been wanting to reread my copy of The 13 1/2 lives of Captain Bluebear ever since then! But it’s a fairly long book and I always had new books to read from the library so I never got around to it, until this month… Read More Daily Reading: 11th May//The first 9 lives of Captain Bluebear
It’s the weekend and I have a lot more time to read (although I did end up working for a bit). With the extra time, I managed to finish Emma and Pride and Prejudice, which makes the end of the Jane Austen rereads for now – I wonder what I should read next… Interestingly, I’m… Read More Daily Reading: 9th May//Emma + Pride and Prejudice
Emma is a lot longer than I remembered so I’m only halfway through it today! I must say, knowing what is going to happen is making more more anxious than not knowing what to happen – [SPOILERS AHEAD] I know, for example, that Frank Churchill and Jane Fairfax are secretly engaged, so every time Emma… Read More Daily Reading: 8th May//Emma Part 1
I am slowly getting back into the rhythm of working (albeit with a reduced workload) and reading at the same time! I managed to finish Persuasion this morning and even had the time to ask Instagram which book I should read next. Unfortunately, it was a tie when I wanted to start something new so… Read More Daily Reading: 6th May//Persuasion Part 2 + Sense and Sensibility Part 1
May the Fourth be with all of you~ I actually had a lot more work than I expected to do today, but because I managed to read A Little Princess after writing yesterday’s post, and Little Lord Fauntleroy and Pollyanna aren’t too long, I actually have three books to talk about! Three books in which… Read More Daily Reading: 4th May//Good Children
