    October 2020 Wrap-Up

    1st November 2020

    Did I just skipped two months and went from a July wrap-up to an October one? Yes. Will I ever post about all those lost months? I hope so. I feel like 2020 is so weird I am living multiple timelines at the same time, a few of which has yet to catch up and realize it’s already November. Given that I study space science (sort of), let’s pretend I’m floating aimlessly in space, devoid of all sense of time.

    I buddy read for the first time in October! YAYYY! Shout out to E. @ Local Bee Hunter’s Nook for being my first ever reading buddy! Also big thanks to Cas (IG: @casscannot.read), Laura (IG: @lezreadalot), Althea @ Althea Is Reading, and Brittany (Twitter: @britthebookguru) for reading with me.

    July 2020 Wrap-Up

    13th August 2020

    It’s mid-August, and I am writing my July wrap-up post. I guess it’s never too late to do wrap-ups. Since my recent venture into actually doing blogging instead of merely posting reviews, I want to catch up on all my monthly wrap-ups starting March. So far, I still need to do May and June.

    The global situation has definitely led me to read way more books than I used to, but then again, it has been a personally stressful semester for me. A lot of important things are happening in my life right now, including my recent graduation with a master’s and starting my PhD studies. With everything going on, nothing is certain and it makes me really restless all the time.

    April 2020 Wrap-Up

    2nd May 2020

    Some of you might know that my “day job” is a graduate student. And April was tough for me because I was prepping my oral defense, but I am happy I still got to read a little.

    March 2020 Wrap-Up

    2nd April 2020

    In February, I read 27 books. It is the most I have read in a single month. Ever. Since the majority of them is unreviewed for now, I am starting a brand-new wrap-up series, beginning this month.

    Into the World of ARCs

    On the first day of March, I finally joined NetGalley, a website for book reviewers to access ebooks from publishers before release. When I first started reviewing books on Goodreads at the end of 2017 and on my book blog in 2018, I had no idea how other bloggers acquired books that were not yet published. After finally doing some research in February 2020 because of all the extra time at home due to the pandemic, I decided to try NetGalley to get some advanced review copies (ARCs).
