    July 2020 Wrap-Up

    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.

    Top Ten Tuesday: Books I Loved but Never Reviewed

    Top Ten Tuesday (TTT) is currently hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl, and each Tuesday, we get a prompt to talk about 10 books.

    This week’s topic: books I loved but never reviewed.

    I wrote my first review for personal reference in 2014 and started to post more on Goodreads in 2017. Sometimes, I put off reviewing and before I know it, the memory of the book has faded and I cannot review it any more.

    Since I have been keeping track of every single book I have read since 2007, I thought it would be fun to pick out one book I have read and really enjoyed each year since 2011. Maybe I will review them after rereading someday.
