"It is likely that I will die next to a pile of things I was meaning to read." – Lemony Snicket
I’ve been trying to get myself to read more since I actually want to achieve my Goodreads challenge of 50 books (not including graphic novels, comics or re-reads!!) this year.. IT’S HARD. Getting out of a reading slump that is a year long is HARD. 😦
Early December in 2018 Epigram had a REALLY REALLY good sale for Christmas (Hanukkah too IMO) at their HQ office space in Toa Payoh. I decided to kick my hermit ass out of the house one evening to go have a look and see if there was anything I didn’t own yet. Spoiler: there was.
In an effort to get myself to do some heavy duty reading so I can get to a decent level for POSSIBLY achieving my Goodreads reading goal for the year, I decided I’d join along on this read-a-thon!
Well it’s May now and I am now another year closer to death. So I thought it would be as good a time as any to restart this Bløg of mine!
SO HERE WE GO. The books I read in April:
It’s been a whole damn year folks. I’ve barely read in that last year and also didn’t manage to do some big things I was meant to do which sucks but. It’s whatever it’s the past so moving on is the priority. Which is the hard part as said Bad Brains™ aka depression/anxiety fun times, had/have gotten the better of me.
Anyway. Like I said, I’ve barely done any reading in the last year since I posted here but I have started reading again which is a nice thing. I haven’t bothered to put them in a monthly roundup, but I will probably do that next month since it’s my birthday month and it feels nice to restart then. Also my reading is still sporadic and I am still all over the place l o l…
SO TILL THEN!!!!!!!!! SMELL YA L8R!!!!!!!!111111111111
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.

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.
[img src: unknown]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…!
IT IS 2018…. TIME HAS GONE BY 2 FAST 2 FURIOUS 4 ME……….
WELL DAMN. IT’S 2018 ALREADY……
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…
