Lol what a number.

This book was off to a great start and I'd say I thoroughly enjoyed the first few stories. There was a nuanced, humourous and down-to-earth painting of the Cambodian-American youths and the community in general. Lost interest in 2 of the middle stories though - I felt like they kept centering around the same few characters and the protagonist was this sad gay Cambo-American just out of school boy.

SgJuliaKristeva is reading A Certain Exposure
Purple prose alert 🥴

I didn't like it enough to finish it. Will do a proper review (along with the books I've read this year) soon. In essence, I was just let down since I was so excited to read this.

Hopefully After The Inquiry will be much better

A Certain Exposure

SgJuliaKristeva is starting The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo
Freaking reserved this book at the library in June and I just got to loan it a few days ago. T.T

Was looking forward to reading it before I started work but now I have a bit too much on my plate and so this will have to wait.

Maybe I'll read and review it before 2021 ends. Maybe.

Side note I've read like 4 manuscripts (and more) in the past month my brain is exhausted oh my.

I realise I haven't been active here, but fret not for I have been reading very actively!

I started working at a publishing house recently. The job has been absolutely wonderful so far; it is such a joy to be able to have a step into the publishing industry, even though I am merely an intern. Alas, this means reading many manuscripts and essays and less time for my TBR.

Will try to catch up on the TBR soon!

I've always wanted to read this but every time I try to read a novel from the Victorian era I find it hard to concentrate lol. Thankfully reading the novel with an audiobook recording at the same time helps so much so Imma get a start to this

Can't rmb the page exactly, but somewhere there. I thought this was another one of those "let's fluff up the story with unnecessarily huge words to show off my JC lit background" kind of novels that didn't take off. But OMFG this book is GOOD and highly underrated wtf

6 books added to the reading list–Emma, 1984, Sikit-Sikit Lama-Lama Jadi Bukit, The Battle for Merger, Japonisme, A True Novel.

Do you think Dexter will be able to finish reading all 6 (7 if you consider A True Novel a 2-part series, but my biu yee lent me the 2-in-1 version) by July while struggling with 8 modules, 2 debates and 1 band performance? Stay tuned to find out.
