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.

New!

I started blogging as long ago, But, here I am, again, with new page. I deleted my old one, but regret it now (haha). I shouldn't have deleted it. Instead, I just should have updated it!. Feel really bad now ugh. But too late.. So I'll be blogging same as in old one, but no artwork stuff related - I just wanna put out something that simple but uhmm not so simple, from writing side (haha). So, I hope I can keep up (!).

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: Asrama By Muhammad Fatrim

On January this year, FIXI emailed me for a commission. It took me few minutes to accept the offer. As the result, almost a week later I received their books together with one I got commissioned for last year - my first one from other author. I got 4 books in total, 3 of them by another author. I know, I need to read them 3, started with the first one, best selling ASRAMA by Muhammad Fatrim. And here I'm going to put some of my thought about it. For first, I'm honoured to be part of the book, for the new cover I got commission for last January, and thank you so much for the opportunity FIXI.  This was my most challenging one when come to illustrate for a cover. And while in process, I got little bit pressure than before. Since it needs to be 'girls' vibe and feel but dark. I did my best although a bit I feel like if I can deliver it much better.. But, so far, most fans and FIXI's family like it, I'm ok with that. Alhamdulillah.. The new cover on the right in red...
