May 2022 Monthly Wrap Up

Hi guys! 🙂

It has been a while since I posted any monthly wrap up so I decided to post one for May. I just noticed that I’ve only been posting book reviews recently and my blog needed a different kind of post to liven things up a bit. 😆

May is a slow month for me. I only managed to read 5 books this month. I was actually hoping to finish at least 9 books in a month to reach my dream goal of 100. Not sure if I’ll reach it but maybe this month I’ll read 20 books. *fingers crossed*

Below are the books I finished in the month of May.

April 2021 Monthly Wrap Up

Wow, April is done again and I feel like the month just passed by in a blink of an eye.👀

April was a slow month for me in terms of reading. This month I only managed to finish 3 books.😶

---

1.) Strongly Pampered Male Wife by 赤脚下的路 – 🌟🌟🌟.5

There are lots of stuff that distracted me from reading this month. I’ll mention a few (my excuse for just reading 3 books✌) things that occupied my time.😅

1.) Netflix – this black hole is the major culprit for my measly progress on my reading. Though watching series is a way for my mother and I to bond so I really can’t dislike it.

For this month, we finished 2 series. Yep, TWO.😅 Both of these deals with afterlife and ghosts.👍

📺 Abyss – 7/10 🌟

📺 Hotel Del Luna – 8/10🌟

2.) Legend of the Phoenix game – I spend a lot of time playing this. I can’t believe I’m trying to maintain 4 accounts on this game.😆

So this is what happened in April. Hopefully I’ll accomplish more on May.🤗

Jan – Mar 2021 Monthly Wrap Up

Hi friends! 🤗

As you can see on the title, this post is all about my reading updates for the month of January to March. Why am I doing an update for three months in one post? Because yours truly doesn’t have much time recently to do an individual monthly update.😢

I thought 2021 will be different. A new beginning and all that but it wasn’t. I even had a huge reading slump on the month of March. So many wasted time not reading.😧

Though I planned to read lots of books this year, my start isn’t that promising. With my ambitious plan to read 100+ books this year, I merely managed to read 7 books in 3 months.😭

Here are the books that I have read:

1.) Keeper of the Lost Cities by by Shannon Messenger – 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

2.) Soulkeepers by Steve Dean – 🌟🌟🌟.5

3.) The Happy List by Briar Prescott – 🌟🌟🌟🌟

4.) Until I Die Again by Tina Wainscott – 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

5.) You’re The One by Layla Hagen – 🌟🌟🌟🌟

6.) Love At First Kiss by Olivia T. Turner – 🌟🌟🌟.5

7.) Fat Chance, Charlie Vega by Crystal Maldonado – 🌟🌟🌟🌟.5

I will work read harder this April. Shall I join some readathon to motivate myself?🤔

Wishing everyone a great reading week!😄

October 2020 Wrap Up

October is done again and today is the first of November. October was a very stressful month for me. I don’t even know why I’m stressed out, lol. I had a bit of a reading slump on the third week of October. I learned from my previous experiences and just let it be. I immersed myself in mobile games and waited it out until I’m ready to read again. 🙂

Despite the said slump I still managed to read some of my ARCs this month. Below are the books I have read, all images credits to Goodreads:
