"It is likely that I will die next to a pile of things I was meaning to read." – Lemony Snicket
I did not reach as much as I had hope I would, which is very sucky. But! I did get myself into a bit more of a reading swing which is progress as far as I’m concerned. Easing yourself back into enjoying and engaging with a hobby that you love is hard and upsetting because it should be easy, but if it’s been ages, it’s not!! AND IT’S FRUSTRATiNG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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. 😦
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…
WELP. I’m back home in Singapore. FOR GOOD THIS TIME. Having a lot of mixed feelings about it but trying to remain positive, and read as much as possible so I can reach my reading goal!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111111
[img src: unknown]I spent the month of July home in Singapore, visiting friends and family, and then the rest of August in London attempting to cope with Things. Emphasis on attempt.
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.

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…
Gotta say, I’m starting off 2017 quite strong reading wise. YAY ME!!!!
My reading for September has been SHOCKING… Just 3 books… I’m so ashamed of myself… I’ve been so busy but, still…
Oh August. What a weird month you’ve been.
I landed in the UK on the 3rd and then got sick like a day later from ye olde Travellers Flu/Cold. Which then lasted something around 2 weeks. But I powered through that and even went to the Nine Worlds convention, in which I also was part of a Star Trek roundtable!!!
And when I FINALLY RECOVERED, I spent the weekend up in Edinburgh visiting some friends! Which was of course super gr8, but as soon as I got back to England I got sick. AGAIN. And that has taken me about a week to recover from. Which of course was SUPER.
Did I mention I also got my phone stolen OUT OF MY HAND within the first week of being back in the UK? Thanks August. That was… Interesting.
