Got a fair bit of reading done since the last post, most of which are for the articles I’ve been co-writing and editing. I’ve streamlined (even further) many components of my life to focus on that. Here’s what I finished reading (apart from the stacks of theory-related monographs I’m keeping off this list): And here’s … Continue reading What I’m Currently Reading 23/09/2023
Been some time since I’ve updated this blog! In the past four months I’ve been reading quite a lot but have not finished that many books, which is what happens when you read multiple books at once. And that’s it for now! I regret I cannot do the short story picks this year because this … Continue reading What I’m Currently Reading 03/06/2023
I’m starting 2023 strong by reading a gratifying amount of books. The highlights thusfar are Shveta Thakrar’s Star Daughter, Angela Slatter’s The Bone Lantern (this glorious author gifted me a small parcel of her books as a get-well present and I feel so very lucky indeed!).

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
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
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
