Some Thoughts: Current Reading

Few months past already, and I realised I started to slow down with my books. All from last year and this year.

It's because I'm currently focusing more on my handmade accessories and boothing around KL. But still, I got myself couple of books recently and I started to notice, that there's books on pending - meaning, I already read but few pages only - and planning on to finish them all one by one. But I too noticed my taste on genres when come to this...

My latest book and currently reading, "Overthinking Tapi Buat-buat OK" (Overthinking But Acted OK) by Aqilah Masri, published by IMAN Publication - caught me up. But more, this book did make me feel like I've been called to it before I got it..

Else than this, my second last reading which is a novel, is KACAU (Disturb) by Ariff Adly, published by FIXI. And the list is ongoing for this year:-

1. AWAN by Syafiq Aizat, FIXI (Malaysia)

2. GHAIB by Uja Hamza, FIXI (Malaysia)

3. Menjadi Dewasa by Prasanti Widyasih Sarli, Infermia Publishing (Indonesia)

These books is my current reading, but pending.

While this happens, I too notice my interest genres when come to books. Totally different when come to me and movies, which I think I can go with any movie genres but for most - SciFi, dystopian, futuristic, alienatic, apocalyptic, fantasy, thriller, adventure, and horror. Else, actions.

For book, I realised I'm more into fiction and self-improvement or biography, or something I can relate to myself..

For the time being, by Aqilah Masri's that I'll be focusing on. And after that, I think I'll be trying to get to all of that I started already. With my handmade accessories, making them take my time and somehow, my schedule with time is changed.. But as I don't want to pressure myself, I think slowly I'll be there and will finish all books that bought. Slowly, one by one, step by step, just like how my current reading talks about.. So far, the book is warm feeling, as I can relate to it.

Once finished, I'll be writing my thoughts on it.

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: Overthinking Tapi Buat-buat OK By Aqila Masri

I finally finished reading "Overthinking Tapi Buat-buat OK" by Aqila Masri (Overthinking But Acted OK) , published by IMAN Publication, last October. And let's see what my thoughts on this one. First of all, my view is just as from an artist, crafter and blogger, and as a reader... When this book published, to be honest I got caught by the title. I didn't plan on to get it like seriously, because I have this feeling to put aside what I can relate to the title. The word - "overthinking"... But as time past, I started to have the image of this book in mind, and it's repeating. So I feel it and said, "I need to have it" with wondering what the topics will be within. It was more like a calling from the book I could say. And early last month - September - I got it. First of all, the cover illustration - pretty. I love how the choice of the style from the artist. The work is beautiful. And give the visual to what's the book about. At the same tim...

Book: Gelap By Ariff Adly

I got myself all 4 book - novels, by author Ariff Adly on 1st July last month for a reason. All his 4 is bestselling by the way. FIXI's call for illustrator for the author's new covers got my attention, in early morning and I was in my bed, I just woke up and a bit sleepy... I was in so-so thinking and situation where I was feeling like "should I?", "try je?", and sorts. I was in between and ended up emailed my portfolio. And then I started feeling it was a wrong move, like I just put myself in a rush situation and feel like I want to unsend it but of course, too late. Because of this, I feel the need to get all of Ariff Adly's books. Which, become most that I can put side by side with movies - yep, me, I'm a fans of movies - that I know and some just in a top of my list I could say. Tadaaaa yesss.. Since all 4 in my hand that day, I was just, "which one that I should start with?". Since it all Bestseller FIXI, it does give me this moment w...
