Sickly Kid Buys+Rents Too Much [Book Haul]

The last month or so has not been good for me health wise. I was hospitalized for a night after a small procedure to get rid of a not so fun build up thanks to my Crohn’s. WHICH by the way, is confirmed to be the bowel disease that I have, and not Ulcerative Colitis as was previously thought. My mental health has also taken a fun dip in the negative pool, but luckily things are on the mend now. I’ve even started a new medication for my Crohn’s which should kick in soon…?!?

That’s why I decided to 🙋‍♀️TREAT MY SELF💁‍♀️ and buy some books (as well as check some more out from the library). Also because my new Crohn’s medicine is given by IV infusion that will take at least half an hour + observation time afterwards, it makes sense to go nuts with new reading material… Anyway, that’s my excuse and I’m sticking with it.

Late Jan/Early Feb Haul [Book Haul]

Well this is quite the belated post… But I thought I’d do it all the same.

I keep buying books here and there EVEN when I said I wouldn’t and would stick to the library since I still have SOOOO many books at home yet to read…. siGh…

Guess I am that b*tch.

Monthly Roundup ↪ Feb/March💤

Decided to combine my roundup for February with March as I didn’t read much in the second month and it seemed a bit silly to make a small post for it…!

2018 Reading Goals [Thinky Talky Thoughts]

WELL DAMN. IT’S 2018 ALREADY……

[img src: unknown]

Every year I make ‘goals’ rather than resolutions, and the same applies to my reading!! So here are my reading goals for the year, which are more than what I usually do as I want to get through a few things this year. Reading wise anyway…

Monthly Roundup ↪ Dec🍾

I tried SO HARD to reach my goal of 50 books in 2017, especially because I wanted the shiny plaque on GoodReads… BUT ALAS… it was not meant to be…

Better Shorts Than ‘Cat Person’ [Literary Lists]

If you were away from the internet recently, let me fill you in. Everyone lost their minds over a semi decent short story in the New Yorker about a 20 something college girl having a questionable but short lived relationship.

Long story short, people got upset, people had opinions, and honestly, there are SO MANY better short stories out there that you can read instead of this one. Here are my recommendations of short story anthologies that you can read instead of bothering with that one. 👍👍👍

Monthly Roundup ↪ Nov🏖

I really put the pedal to the metal this month to read as much as POSSIBLE so I could reach my yearly reading goal. I also went to Phuket in Thailand for a week with my parents, where I ATTEMPTED to read more, but ended up doing more lounging around than reading… OOPS.

Animal Crossing Pocket Camp [Literary Lists]

I would say SEND HELP! I’M OBSESSED!! But I don’t want help. I enjoy fetching bugs and fruits and fish for these anthropomorphic ‘friends’ that hang around various camp sites, who won’t visit me after we become friends unless I buy specific furniture for them…

Anyway, I decided it might be fun to make a book list of some of my favourite anthropomorphic tales in honour of this bizarre and addictive game.

Monthly Roundup ↪ Oct🎃
