May Books | 2020

Here are all the books I read in May. The majority of my reads were written by Asian authors due to the Asian readathon. I have post mini-reviews here for some of them and also on my instagram if you fancy having a look. Some of the books I read were ebooks and since my e-reader died on me and I'm too lazy to charge it, they are not pictured.
  • The Complete Chi's Sweet Home, Part 1 by Konami Kanata (8/10).
  • All Among the Barley by Melissa Harrison (8/10).
  • The Beast Player by Nahoko Uehashi (6.5/10)
  • The Map of Salt and Stars by Zeyn Joukhadar (DNF).
  • The Magical Language of Others by E.J. Koh (8.5/10).
  • Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer (7/10).
  • Emma by Jane Austen (a reread - 8/10).
  • Minor Feelings: An Asian American Reckoning by Cathy Park Hong (9/10).
  • On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous by Ocean Vuong (5.5/10).
  • A Fine Balance by Rohinton Mistry (9.5/10).
  • How Much of These Hills Is Gold by C.Pam Zhang (7/10).
Of the ebooks I have purchased a physical copy for All Among the Barley, The Magical Language of Others and Minor Feelings after reading them because they were that good.

Vintage Classics: Brontë Series

Maybe you don’t know this about me but I collect different edition of Jane Eyre and when I learnt that Vintage was releasing the new Brontë series I just couldn’t say no. 

April 2017

And another month goes by. To be fair, this time it didn't fly around for me; it was quite a slow month in general and I spent half of it reading - I can't even believe I have managed to read all of these books -  and half of it studying for University. I'm all caught up with all my courses and I'm ready to start revising for finals which will be at the end of May/beginning of June. I'm still in awe that for once in my life, I've being productive as hell if I say so myself. Hurray! Basically I wrote down all I had to do and I organised it throughout the first three weeks of April. At the same time I told myself I had to read for fun at least 30 minutes every single day in order to avoid being slumpy due to stress. It worked.

The Gif Tag!

Jess over at My Reading Dress – seriously, go follow her! – tagged me a while ago to do the Gif Tag and I haven’t been able to post it earlier because I have no clue about technology and I couldn’t make the gifs work so I had to investigate a bit. Also, I haven’t read most of the books of the list. I really hope this works out alright so without further ado, let’s get started! Oh, I might have used more than one gif for some of the books...
