Things I Do While Listening to an Audiobook

Since starting college, I've found myself shifting from reading mostly actual books and kindle to audiobooks. I never thought I would get into audiobooks so much, but it enables me to digest a story while doing other things. It's such a positive way to still be able to read even when you're busy, because instead …

My Favorite Book Quotes #3

I haven't done a collection of my favorite book quotes since March, so I thought it was about time I did another one. Similar to my last quotes post, I'm sharing a collection of quotes I found from books I read since March. It's nice to do this both to remember the books I've read …

Book Review: Welcome to Lagos by Chibundu Onuzo

I've been reading a ton of books by Asian authors this year, and have been enjoyed many of them. However, reading them has made me realize just how many places I have never read a book about. One of those places is Nigeria, which is why I was thrilled to stumble across this book at …

Book Haul #2

This post was supposed to go up this morning, but for some reason I scheduled it to go up on Wednesday and only noticed the mistake when I got home from school...oops. So, I did it again...I bought more books. No, I have not read all the books from my previous book haul, but I …

Bookshelf Scavenger Hunt Tag

This tag has been on my list to write for a long time, but as it actually takes work which does not include shifting from web tab to web tab as research and actually getting up from my chair, I've avoided doing it. I'm clearly lazy. Anyway, I couldn't find out who created this tag, …

Book Review: Life of Pi by Yann Martel

I'm a few years late in reading this book, after it got super popular around 2012 when the movie adaptation was released. This book was everywhere back then! And I'm not even exaggerating. You'd see ads and posters for it. The movie won a bunch of Academy Awards, and the book was featured in pretty …

Bollywood Review: Mohenjo Daro

I don't watch many Bollywood movies, but the main reason I snatched this one up at my local library because it is set during the Indus Valley Civilization in 2016 BC. The civilization spread through modern Afghanistan, Pakistan, and northern India. The title of this movie, Mohenjo Daro, refers to an actual ancient city in …

Series I WON’T Finish

A little over a month ago, one of my favorite Booktubers, Merphy Napier, did a video on this topic and I started thinking of all the series I've started that I know I won't continue on in. It may be because I didn't like the first book, or that after reading a few books I …

Book Review: The Painted Veil by W. Somerset Maugham

I'm pretty sure I have never read a book so depressing and yet so interesting as this book. Most probably know of this book due to the 2006 adaptation of it starring Naomi Watts and Edward Norton (I've seen parts of the movie, so I knew the basic plot, but not the details). I've avoided …
