2017 was not a bad year for reading, but I started my English Lit degree in October, and since then I completely lost control of my reading time, and only caught up in the last 10 days of December, because I stayed home and didn’t go traveling like in the past years. Apart from my […]
It’s that time of the year again! Unfortunately I fell into a deep reading slump sometime around November, and I have not gotten out of it. I was quite on track for a lot of my goals for 2016 at the beginning of the year, but it just petered out badly at the end of the […]
Happy new year good readers! I haven’t done stats for a long time on this blog, but with all the diversity talks that seem to happen recently *cough* #diversedecember #ReadDiverse2016, I feel inclined to do so. So in 2015 I read 26 books + 1 Happy Reader (the latter I don’t count for the purpose […]
Happy new year good readers 🙂 I read 35 books in 2014, 10 short stories (that are not part of a finished short story collection), and watched 101 movies (!). I’m particularly happy with the number of books, as my book number had been pretty horrendous since I came to London 3.5 years ago. For […]
Happy belated new year y’all! I just came back from my 17-days road trip around Spain, Gibraltar, and Morocco a few days ago (follow Wandering Mee for travel related content), got a bit ill, got back to work, and overall am just trying to catch up with real life! 2012 has been an okay year […]

Yes I spent a good portion of my new year’s eve on the side of the road, in the middle of nowhere, about an hour from Melbourne. It was the hottest day of the summer of 39C and our car gave up (or blew up–I saw smoke). While waiting for the tow truck we were […]
Finally I managed to finish my review of 2009. Silly me and my numbers. That just took forever! My Favorite Books in 2009 Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides The Arrival by Shaun Tan Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell One novel, one graphic novel, and one nonfiction. Perfect :). I would love to also mention The Woman in […]
Apologies for not posting for 2 months. I got married and I moved country. I struggled to even find the time to read. There are a lot of things I need to update, but first thing first. 2008 wrap-up! I read 39 books in 2008. Pretty good achievement in comparison with my previous records. I […]
