"It is likely that I will die next to a pile of things I was meaning to read." – Lemony Snicket
I found this book tag sitting in my drafts, so I’ve decided to fill it out! Especially since Hungry Ghost Month is coming up soon… 👹👻👺
Book tag-list things are always fun and sometimes make me realise that I’ve been missing out on certain genres, or themes in my reading!!!

Singaporeans love acronyms. It’s a known fact. This year the nation turns 52, which means it’s been 52 years of my dad dealing with, “but if you’re from Singapore, how can you be white?” seeing as he’s so old that when he was born here, he had a commonwealth UK passport.
ANYWAY I decided to make a silly book tag relating to the nonsense you can find on every national day parade. Sort of like a bingo card, but with book recs, if you will.
I’m gonna tag some local authors that I love (on twitter), and then be daring at tag some Malaysian ones too and hope they don’t try to strangle me with their kebaya lol……………….
BUT DON’T JIO ME OK YOU CAN DO THIS IF I DIDN’T TAG YOU TOO…
I don’t think I’ve ever done a post like this before, but I figure I might as well! Especially since there are more than a couple of books I have been eagerly awaiting…!

I’m working on my dissertation and I welcome death. But although my soul has left my body and I am now a shell of the human I was before, thanks to my mental health, I have managed to read a fair amount.
Shout out to the bad sleep cycles and the calming light on my Kindle!!!!!!

[img src]Before I started this blog in 2015, I made it a point to go on a bit of a book crawl so I could make some posts showcasing the indie stores, while I was back home in Singapore.
Didn’t really get around to making more than two of those posts… BUT in the spirit of Indie Bookshop Week, I’m going to feature those bookstores I visited, and in geographical order!

Not gay as in happy, but queer as in fck you! AM I RIGHT MY DUDES?
[img src: unknown]ANYWAY, I just wanted to spotlight a handful of my favourite LGBT/GSM reads this month since it is pride month after all.

DOING A MASTERS IS HARD OK. Especially when you have mental and chronic illness issues that sometimes make you sleep a Lot and have little energy for things.
[img src: unknown]But then this was also the period that I started my internship at Fixi London!
At the beginning of May I saw Aentee’s post about this month long event called, Asian Lit Bingo. Which is AMAZING, being from Singapore I’m always trying to find more books, especially SFF, written by Asian authors as well as books that ARE Asian in content in someway.
Instead of participating because my reading has been a bit stagnant as of late, I decided to find a book for each of the squares and make a rec list instead!! In retrospect I probably should have posted this earlier, but whatever. Better late than never. 😎
February was a mess. Busy, but a mess. I had assignments due in the first week-ish and then at the end of the second week I was off for 10 days for my reading week to visit the US. And then when I got back it was all a blur and then it was March…!! I didn’t really read in Feb so I’m just combining the two months in one post…
