Some Thoughts: Preferred Reading Genres

Growing up I'm so into anime. Most on top of my life, my answer will be Digimon and CardCaptor Sakura.

At teenage, I think I started to like something fantasy yet beautiful in landscape and the visual. Like Japanese or Chinese garden. Or secret garden like, with cottage and wooden fence, with flowers around. Still remember I, I even bought many garden magazines, sharing this one with my ma. She loves gardening.

As I grew older, I found myself not many changes when come to my genre choices. Be it when come to movies or books.

Before books, I always prefer to go for movies. Meaning, if I know the movie is adapted from novels, or the novel already in motion picture - I just go for the movie. Such as the Divergent franchise, The Maze Runner franchise, Harry Potter franchise, and such. And true is, I started to notice my liking in genre when come to movies. My interest in movies back then and up until seems like never change. Movie Starship Troopers, RoboCop franchise, Terminator franchise, and Alien franchise, and Predator franchise is I keep back to it. Favourite. These too inspired me in my artwork as time passed.

With CGI and technology in film making grow, so do movies and genre. Yes, I watched any of genres. Superhero, horror, thriller, movie and series.

But my favourite becomes more in a same theme - Sci-Fi to futuristic, to dystopian in its subtheme, cyberpunk and steampunk. All that in the category. Movie that fit the theme will attract my attention to go for cinema like, Ghost In The Shell, Alita: Battle Angel, latest one this year The Creator, Blade Runner 2049, Total Recall where played by Colin Farrell, Lucy, Inception, Tenet, Underwater, Interstellar, Dune Part 1 and 2, Edge Of Tomorrow, Passengers played by J. Law and Chris Pratt, In Time, A Quiet Place franchise, Mad Max Fury Road, Waterworld, Ready Player One, and so on.

As for books, it all started after watching Mortal Engines. Adapted from the same title, by author Philip Reeve.

Before, I did bought few books and comics like. Harry Potter Deathly Hallows 1, and Kingdom Hearts, which I got 2 to 3..? Other such as guide genre for cats and kittens, and identify flowers and plants, information about places with sketchy illustrations. I bought for main reason just because I love the illustration I guess? This was teenage time... But from Mortal Engines that makes me want to read, it was 2018..? Still reading the fourth book, the thickest one. And another 4 still untouched.. it will when the time comes. I hope that I will reads no matter how long is going to be..

Else than that, I think I'm into thriller or horror. But I'll talking about it in part 2 on this.

Some Thoughts: Lately In Book Genres

More than one month I've been noticing that I caught up with self-improvement books. Or books that tells how to deal with people while improving oneself. My attention to these books too, makes me realise how much I'm into biography genre, or books that author tells their story in honesty and the truth about who or how they are in life. Or what they've been dealing with as a human.. It's, somehow, make me feel connected.. As I said. My current reading is "Overthinking Tapi Buat-buat OK" ( Overthinking But Acted OK ) by Aqilah Masri. Maybe like 3, 4 days now.. And yesterday, since it's almost 5am writing this, I went to a mall with lil sis. To which while eating for breakfast (although it was almost 1pm at the time), I saw Popular Bookstore. After had our breakfast, we both went to it. My aim really on books from IMAN Publication - to which I don't know why - but in mind just full with "self care and self connect with whatever (self's body and m...

Book: Komedi Orang Minyak By Farahin W

This is the first book review and first "Book" section for this blog. Few books I did was on my old WordPress blog. Might move them all in here soon. Today, I finally finished my first book I got from PBAKL 2024, on 1st June, weeks ago. So... I just going to put this from a view of a blogger and someone who read. As an visual artist, I guess? Not a critique either (I'm not a fans with those that deliver it in a downgrading tone). And excuse my bad English, I know but just write? Anyway, let's. First of all, the author is a cool person. Funny at the same time. Believe me. And this is her first debut. And when I know about it, I said "I need to get this on my hand!". Komedi Orang Minyak by Farahin W, published under Rocky Press - this is actually my second book from the publisher. And Komedi Orang Minyak is a collective of short stories. Usually I'll be doing early review, but I think that's just suitable for a novel, which one book, one storyline, and...

Some Thoughts: Midnight

I'm sleepy. But need to read few pages of any book or novel I bought, after long time not read any, since I was busy with my art stuff. Now, while writing this, Kiti the cat having her meal. I'm reading the forth book from Mortal Engines by Philip Reeves. I have 200 plus pages to go, and I started read it since 2018, if I'm not wrong. It's.. Well, long time right? The reason was I bought the book first, then later in 2020, I bought the second and third books. As the result, I decided to postpone with the fourth book, and read with timeline. I read the second and third, and managed to finished both around last year, 2022. Then started to continue with the fourth. And I plan to finish it before end of this year.. See if I can.
