October 2022 Wrap Up

Image
Hi Lovelies,  I read 10 books this month and I am halfway through my 11th book, Fall of Snow by Montana Fyre, which I am sure I am going to finish before the month is over. I had a Catharina Maura phase this month. Her books are amazing if you are looking for romance and smut books that are trope heavy. I cannot wait for the next book of the Wrong Bride.  I also read my longest book for this year, which is the Count of Monte Cristo. I was actually surprise because it a fast paced book and I find myself reading 200-300 pages a day. But my favorite book that I read this month would have to go to After I Do by Taylor Jenkins Reid.  What is your favorite read this month?  Please tell me below.

October 2022 Haul and Favorites

This month I had to invest in office and school supplies. I got my old Macbook back in 2013 and it broke this year, which was so sad. My dad offered to get me another Macbook but I declined and asked for an Acer Aspire 5 instead, as Macbook is not compatible with my work and I need a laptop that I can use for hours with both school and work. I also got accessories for my study/work table such as a mouse pad, a laptop stand with a fan, and plastic organizers.  In terms of my favorites:  1. Wallflower Cafe - is a pet friendly cafe that I go to work as well as spend time with my dog. The food and coffee selections are great and the staff are super friendly.  2. Donuts is a staple comfort food for me and this Korean style donuts are a winner for me.  3. In terms of books, I am really loving The Count of Monte Cristo. Although it is a long book with 1000+ pages, the story has good pacing and there are no boring parts. I read 300+ pages in a day cause it was that good.  4. I also enjoyed wat

Halloween Book Recommendations

Image
Hi Lovelies,  These are 3 books that I recommend to get into the Halloween spirit. Goosebumps is my introduction to the horror genre. Welcome of the Dead House is one of my favorite book from the series. I remember staying up at night with a flashlight sneaking to finish the book. While I recommend Home Before Dark by Riley Sager if you enjoy the series The Haunting of Hill House. I didn't expect the twists and I devour the book in one night as I just couldn't put it down.   Finally, the list is not complete without the Master of Horror Literature, Edgar Allan Poe. My favorites are The Cask of Amontillado, The Pit and the Pendulum, and The Masque of the Red Death What are your Halloween book recommendations?  Please tell me below.

This month I want to read these 3 books of different genres. I think the most difficult book that I have to read is The Count of Monte Cristo as it is a thick book. But the story is entertaining so I don't think I would have any difficulties.  What are you planning on reading this month?  Please tell me below.

September 2022 Haul and Favorites

Since it was my Birth month, I decided to splurge on myself for a bit. I also wanted to update my gadgets by changing their cases. I rarely change my case but they were so broken down that it was not protecting my gadgets anymore. I also clothes for my cousin's wedding and a new smart watch for fitness purposes (my Fitbit is dying as well :( ). But they have yet to arrive.  This month, I started and got hooked with watching Merlin. I just finished season 4 and will start the final season. I know that it will destroy me. My favorite book that I read this month is The Bodyguard by Katherine Center. It is a light romance read and I love the characters.   What are your monthly favorites and hauls?  Please tell me below.

26th Birthday (Birthday Book Tag)

Image
Hi Lovelies! I turned 26 yesterday (September 9), which means I am too old to date Leonardo DiCaprio. Anyway  I am just reflecting how books are still relevant in my life and how important they are in my life. Both my older sister and mom were readers but they stopped reading and I am afraid that I would fall out of love with reading. But still reading is an important part of my day. It gives me the opportunity to escape my real life and problems.  Moving on, I  decided to do the Birthday Book Tag by The Bibliophile Girl's blog   1 – BIRTHDAY CAKE – a book with a plot that seems cliche but you adore it anyway 2 – PARTY GUESTS – your most anticipated book release this year 3 – BIRTHDAY PRESENTS – a book that surprised you with how much you loved it 4 – THE HAPPY BIRTHDAY SONG – a book that certainly deserved all the hype it got 5 – HAPPY MUSIC – a book with some very beautiful and truly memorable quotes 6 – GETTING OLDER – a book that you read a long time ago, but you think that you

August 2022 Favorites and Haul

This month I treated my self and bought a couple of things like a new headphones from Rockspace, sunscreens from Fairyskin and Fresh, and new books (The Picture of Dorian Gray & The Woman in White) from Fullybooked. I also did enjoyed a lot of series this month such as The Sandman, Extraordinary Attorney Woo, and Only Murders in the Building season 2. The Sandman blew me away the atmosphere of the series was so nice. While Extraordinary Attorney Woo was a light series despite tackling social issues. Only Murders in the Building S2 is a fun and quirky take on true crime and I love the interactions of the main characters. In terms of books, I didn't enjoy the books that I was reading nothing really struck me. I also had Taylor Swift's Lover album on repeat on Spotify.  What are your monthly favorites and hauls?  Please tell me below.

June 2022 Haul and Favorites

Image
Hi Lovelies! This month I haven't really enjoyed the books that I read so far. But I do have a lot of non-book related favorites such as the Summer I Turned Pretty series. The series was nostalgic in a sense that I was so invested with the book trilogy when I was in high school and I loved it but in terms of story and character wise the tv series was better in my opinion. There were so many excited parts in the series that was not in the book. Belly, in the series, was less annoying and cringy. I also like how outspoken she was in the tv series.  I also did explored around Makati and tried a new pizza place and cafe. Crosta pizzeria reminds me of New York Style Pizza from Prince street. My sister and I also saw a new cafe called OddCafe and they are a vegan coffee shop. I usually go with whole milk with my coffee but I did enjoy the oatmilk in their specialty drinks.  At the start of the month, my family and I went to La Union and Baguio and I brought some jewelry in Baguio. I got
