When I was at the mall last week, my friend took me to the bookstore. I told myself that I won't bring anything home because I have purchased books recently and needed to finish them. But, my inner bookworm couldn't stand it. I went looking for books in English and I found this small section at Gramedia, Indonesian book store chain, selling classics and some local authors who writes in English.
I had some conversation with a colleague years ago that these local written books were so awful. So, I skipped those and picked Alice's Adventure in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass by Lewis Carol. I also finally completed my Jules Verne collection by getting the Journey to the Center of the Earth.
Though I have read these books in the past, I am still fascinated by Alice’s Adventure and Jules Verne's work. I may have just added more reads on top of my long-list read. But I suppose, it’s worth it. Sometimes, if I don’t stop myself, I will probably keep buying books almost weekly!. There are so many books that I wanted to collect but haven't gotten the chance yet. I suppose, slowly but sure, I’ll get there!
Other than that, time has been the challenge. In the past, I could devote my whole day to reading but these days, with digital work, more distraction, I have lesser time to read. I can only read about 30- 60 minutes a day compared to the past where I can spend a maximum of 5 hours a day reading. To make sure I still read everyday, I bring my books everywhere so I can slip in some reading time, just like when I visited Weekend Staycation : Arah Living The Mezzanine Room where I also bring some books with me and have some fun reading time.
The other week, I shared two books that I recently got and run a raffle. The lucky one of the previous week raffle is
