Enigmatic

I'm definitely late for this but I'd still like to do it anyway. The month of October was a busy month. I participated in Inktober, an Instagram challenge as well as decided that I wanted to post twice a week. Half of these decisions were a mistake and I could barely keep up. I stopped Inktober halfway (okay, maybe even before the halfway mark) and I slowly lost interest in finishing the Instagram challenge too. In regards of posting twice a week, I only read four books this month due to the overwhelming amount of college work I had to do. 1.  The Son (Eddie Creighton, #1)  by Aaron Meizius A fast-paced crime novel with a very likable protagonist. Eddie Creighton is a FBI analyst with a photographic memory who was suddenly summoned to aid in an investigation. They are looking for a serial killer who has no clear pattern and a weird personal interest in Eddie. Throughout the whole story, I could imagine it as if I was watching an episode of NCIS. You would lo...

September passed awfully quickly. One moment I was sitting for my semester finals, the next moment I'm in Japan eating my weight in food, and after that I'm back in college for my last semester. Time flew by extremely quickly. This month marks the start of author interviews (link) on this blog! It was daunting at first since in my culture, we typically consume and not ask. However, ever since the last few years of secondary school when I was taking SPM (similar to the GCSEs), I became more fearless, after all, what's the harm in asking. It was a great experience because I was able to understand more about the author, the story and learn more about the thought processes the author had when writing each scene. After all, it's great to be an active consumer! In terms of books, this month was an interesting month. I've read a lot more books that I thought I had.  1.  The Back Door of Midnight  by Elizabeth Chandler A friend of mine lent this book to ...

Hello again! It is getting awfully close to the end of the year but that means that there are new releases of books and more opportunities. Speaking about opportunities, SKAVANSIEUR will giving opportunities to authors to share more about their books (or themselves). It is very exciting to hear about their creative processes and what was going on in their minds as they were writing their books. The first interview will be up very soon! As for this month's reads, I would say there isn't much. I'm almost at the end of my second semester and I had many final assignments and presentations that took up most of my time. If you also realised, this look of this blog has changed quite a few times. I've been trying to find a layout that is easy to navigate both on PC and on the phone as well. As much as there are some things which I don't like with this current layout, this will be it for now. I hope that you will like this layout and find it easy to use. Here are the boo...

July went by so fast that I forgot to write a wrap-up. This month was a difficult month in terms of reading. I've been busy with college assignments and didn't have the motivation to read. I've also taken up way too many books to review. Currently, I've 3 more books to read and review. I've also borrowed some books from my friends that I've been wanting to read. I'll do a review of it when I'm done too. Either way, here are the things that I've read last month. 1.  Declutter Your Mind   by Vik Carter This is the first ever self-help book that I've finished and reviewed. Declutter Your Mind is a quick read as Carter mentioned, he does not want to fill the book with unnecessary information. 22 very simple habits in order to be more appreciative and take some time to relax. I've been implementing some of the steps in my life and it really makes me happier. If you wish to learn how to be happier and live a stress-free life, this i...
