Hello again! I took a day off blogging yesterday because I was really tired and decided that instead of just recapping my day, I would try writing a discussion post – it’s the one that you saw earlier today! And doing that was actually really energising, which helped me regain the momentum for today. As… Read More June ’23 Rereading: Day 20 – Kiku’s Prayer
I’m back again! I am seeing this pattern in which I do not post on Saturdays because I’m really just not at the computer on Saturday. I did, however, have a good reading day since I finally finished the third Thursday Murder Club book and a good chunk of Jane Austen, Game Theorist. Today, I… Read More June ’23 Rereading Day 18 – Jane Austen, Game Theorist and Some Strange Medieval Advice
Hello! We are halfway through the month and my dreams of being extra-productive blogwise have not yet materialised. But the good thing is that these off-the-cuff posts are really therapeutic for me – feels like I’m allowing myself to be a bit more spontaneous/messy in the blogging aspect. Anyway, there was a horrendous traffic jam… Read More June ’23 Rereading: Day 15 – The Secret Life of Cows & More Jane Austen
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
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
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
