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 mind, people, surrounding, God, like that)". That's what I'm feeling like, lately. So, I kept on looking for their books. And yes, I got 3 this time around.



Got these!

When I saw these 3 online, most the last 2 - both titles caught me up. With current feeling that I have, I just feel like it. Yea... Maybe not in this few months that I'll be reading these, but that day will come. That's what I've been thinking, doing and holding on to while going around with my own pace.

Not only in reading. But in making my handmade accessories, drawing, sketching, making decisions and texting, even writing..

It's not ok, maybe, for some parts. But I think it's the need for myself to be able to slow down just a little bit in all of these.. In daily. Since life, in social media - since I'm aware about my things depending on my phone, internet to promote and sorts - need to go with how my body is. By this genre, I think I can learn about myself, related to and acknowledged. So it's the need for oneself with modernization today, to put self care as routine.. It's not easy for some people in what and how their situation in life. But I think, it can be done even for a small step..

I hope IMAN Publication publish more this kind of books. Amazed me for most that IMAN's books did 'call' on me. Because I believe, many can relate. Like, really. So far "Overthinking Tapi Buat-buat OK" by Aqilah Masri really is something for me. Once done I'll be putting up my thoughts on it.

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...

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...
