I managed to finish reading a novella in two nights! That’s Sarah J Maas’s A Court of Frost and Starlight, which I quickly finished after finishing A Court of Wings and Ruin. I want to go to the next book in the series but decided I wouldn’t gobble it down too fast and am reading … Continue reading What I’m Currently Reading 04/06/2022
Short and sweet since the reading has been slow, and work has been intense. A Court of Wings and Ruin – Sarah J Maas The Duke and I – Julia Quinn Lud-in-the-Mist — Hope Mirlees The Obelisk Gate – N.K. Jemisin Apart from this, I’m also reading a fistful of monographs for my research, and … Continue reading What I’m Currently Reading 20/04/2022

Today’s the last day of my two-week “vacation” at home. Tomorrow, the first working day of the year (`sif I haven’t been working on work stuff at home because academic vacation, amirite) begins, and I thought I’d post in here a little earlier than I’d planned, simply because I have things to share! I’m… a … Continue reading What I’m Currently Reading 09/01/2022
This is probably my last post here for the year. It’s not been that great of a year for finishing the reading of novels, but I’ve achieved a lot of other stuff. Currently rereading The Lord of the Rings trilogy for the course I’m running, The Wheel of Time (Eye of the World) because of … Continue reading What I’m Currently Reading 05/12/2021
MA/PHD dissertation chapters? Articles I’m peer-reviewing? Other articles I’m adding to my own articles? *droll look* Apart from that, I finished Brian Jacques’s Outcast of Redwall because I was co-writing an article with my PhD student and fell into a Redwall rabbit hole (ha ha). I also read a couple of extremely smutty books by … Continue reading What I’m Currently Reading 11/10/2021
I figured I should keep to doing this once a month. Mostly I’ve been reading and grading assignments but when I’m not doing that, I’m reading books for articles I am writing/co-writing/revising. I’ve also read some short fiction I really enjoyed, particularly in the August issue of Clarkesworld Magazine (Check out A Thousand Tiny Gods … Continue reading What I’m Currently Reading 13/08/2021
It’s been a very busy week, and I’ve been juggling so many things while under the Pfizer side effects. Which, all’s said and done weren’t too bad but this fatigue is something else. Hope it clears by Monday. I didn’t take any leave and in fact have been doing so much supervision, consultation, attending meetings. … Continue reading What I’m Currently Reading 17/07/2021
I haven’t really been updating any of my blogs because I’ve been so busy, and stressed — trying to catch up on deadlines while feeling I’m working while trapped in jello. Even the thought of updating my blogs made me feel guilty because I should be doing other things. But, it’s time to keep this … Continue reading What I’m Currently Reading 9/07/2021
Hullo, First actual book post of the year! I have been mostly reading a lot of academic stuff for my research, and sheet music, but I thought I’d better update this before many more months pass! In short, I am reading way more than in 2020, this list doesn’t include stacks of cookbooks, and academic … Continue reading What I’m Currently Reading 28/03/2021
