About my books... & an ambitious aim.

Posted in: 2021 posts | blog images | Books | Online Shopping Bag

One more day until July ends... 

BUT... I did find some books on Bookxcess. Books I wanted but were out of stock for so long. ("Point of No Return")

Remember that post? Here they are. Just arrived around 11am today.



"Prefecture D" - So, so happy to finally get this one! These are compilation of short stories... novellas (as mentioned in GR page) in the same world with Six Four. Dramas and police office politics, yes, I'll take it! Really thought that Bookxcess don't have it anymore but never stop hoping I guess (until they remove the item from their catalogue at least.. maybe...?)

"A Bond Undone" - This is one of the series I mentioned that I've been collecting but haven't read yet. 

"The Gift of Rain" - I wanted to say that this is a random choice but... it's not. Apparently it's in my to-read list on GR. Since 2017. I don't remember why lol. Anyway.. saw it available on Bookxcess and went for it. For past-me.



Erm... when are you ever going to read all these books? Until the end of my life, surely. Lol. Definitely will read them of course. I have a very ambitious aim: Finish reading unread books on my bookshelf. 

After watching some book youtubers, (seems like I've used this phrase repeatedly in several posts) I somewhat realised that I don't have that many really. Is this self-denial as its finest? Yes, I'll shamelessly agree with that XD. But seriously, mine's are still at a manageable amount. As long as I don't fall into a reading slump that is. Generally, I don't really buy newly-released books and I don't follow the trends. Most of the time. I do have a few new ones that I'm interested in but that's like 1-5% (estimated, not properly counted haha). At this moment, I'm more interested in classics books so I'm more susceptible to those kind of recommendations. 

Before you accuse me of being a book snob of some kind...

My taste in books is all over the place XD. ("All over the place")

This is a blogger with a weird taste in reading so...
