Just another update! . . I picked up a new hobby during the quarantine by self learning how to draw in between reading and catching up on my TBRs and binging on new series. . . I've been diving deep into the BL hole lately and I'm living ๐ life has been great so far and I'm trying to make the best out of the quarantine life. . . What about you? How have you been spending your quarantine? . . P.S. This is my first portrait of Philip Shea from the series Eyewitness. I just love this baby so much ๐คง . . P.P.S My new apartment has the worst natural light ever. ๐ฉ I missed my old place where I have the softest afternoon light. . . #artmateur #sketching #drawing #artistsoninstagram #booksofinstagram #Bookstagrammer #books #reading #readersofinstagram #readingtime #igreads #igbooks #sketchbook #philkas #fanart #portrait #booklover #bookishfeatures

It has been 1 to 2 years since I last posted something. I can't believe how long I have been gone! I had a huge change in my life at 2018, and somehow life got into the way. How are you? Are you keeping safe? How have you been faring in these chaotic times? Sending much loves to all of you! ๐ As nightmarish as the current pandemic is, I try to focus on the positives to keep me sane throughout the days. It's currently Day 28 of Lockdown and I only left my house 3 times in the entire month, so that leaves me plenty time to self reflect and take a break from my work life. I actually wrote a blog post on why I took a long hiatus from everything book-related, here's a snippet! ๐ " ๐๐ก๐๐ง ๐ฉ๐๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐๐๐๐จ๐ฆ๐๐ฌ ๐๐ง ๐จ๐๐ฅ๐ข๐ ๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง, ๐ ๐ฃ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ญ...๐ฌ๐ญ๐จ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐๐. " I added the link in my bio in case you want to check it out. ๐ I'm taking things slow for now and will try to gain back my #bookstagram inspiration and momentum ๐ Meanwhile, COME SAY HI! ๐ What have you been up to? Any quarantine reads you would like to recommend? P.S sorry for the long post, it has been a while. ๐ P.P.S this is an old photo that somehow never got posted ๐ I'm still trying to decide on a new theme! #Bookstagrammer #redqueen #minimal #minimallove #blogger #booksofinstagram #bookishlove #bookinsta #Bookaddict #booklovers #bookstagramcommunity #quarantine #lockdown #readersofinstagram

โฐ๐ค A #Shadowhunters appreciation post because THIS IS IT. The finale. The last wait. The last episode. The last time I will ever feel excited for a Monday hoping for some binge-watching to cure my Monday Blues. โฐ ๐ค Itโs unfair because Iโve only just discovered this beautiful community called the #Shadowfam a couple months back, only to have the show cancelled and to truly witness how this community unite and go all out to #saveshadowhunters , itโs a #shadowhunterslegacy the show has left behind. โฐ ๐ค I just wished for more time ๐The show has so much potential, they broke the norms of stereotypes with the beautiful writing, storyline and of course wonderful casts & characters. They reignited my passion to really embrace my emotions (ahh I just missed fangirling at this magnitude), taught me to be more open-minded and accepting, and most of all to discover a world out there unlike any other. . . This is it. The final hunt. . . After the series finale next week, I know Iโm going to be in a huge bittersweet emotional funk. So I prepared myself by buying THE entire series of The Mortal Instruments so I can just binge read all month. Iโm not ready to leave the world yet! (And I need more of my OTP #Malec) . . Also, I really wanted to showcase the artwork of the talented artist @lenas_fanart who draws the MOST amazing SH arts! I love how she seems to capture such iconic/precious moments and bring them to life with her sketches. . . ๐คQOTD: What are some representations that you would love to see more in books or on-screen? โฐAOTD: Diversity that embraces the general theme of love and acceptance. I know that the world is trying to make a change in becoming more open-minded, so Iโm really excited to see that effort being translated into books/movies/TV shows. (very vague Nat). . . . #themortalinstruments #fanart #bookstafeatures #bookishlove #bookseries #fantasy #booklover #Bookaddict #bookwormsunite

It's finally the weekend and I will be watching Avengers Endgame in just TWO HOURS. ๐ฅ ๐ฅ QOTD: What's your favorite unhealthy food/snack? AOTD: ICE CREAM AND POPCORN. ๐ฅ ๐ฅง ๐ฅ One of my favorite author's @literarydust book will be featured on Bookbub and on sale for 0.99ยข starting today! I absolutely adore this cute and hilarious YA rom com that has such a delicious title ๐ ๐ฅ ๐ฅ [About Bacon Pie] Lia Abbie has the easy lifeโkicking it back with old school video games, hanging out with her best friend Barnabas, and alternating her living schedule between the apartments of her two dads and her mom. Kiev Jimenez is a theater geek who loves him some Shakespeare and taking care of his pet armadillo. He has one set goal in life: obtaining the role of Horatio for the Hamlet school play. When a showdown between Lia and Kiev lands them in the principal's office, they're forced into volunteer work at the cringe-worthy Piggy Palooza Festival, or risk being suspended. Lia and Kiev arenโt thrilled about the situation, especially when it interferes with Lia's relaxed life and Kiev's theater role. But by working together, they may find more than just baconโpossibly a little love in the air. . . . #bookstafeatures #bookishlove #minimalism #monochrome #weekend #bookstagramfeature #bookstagram #bookblurb #bookphotography #booksofinstagram #Bookaddict #WeekendReads #lovetoread #culturetripbooks #bookworm #sale #booksale #bookwormsunite #booklover

Taking a breather ๐ฟ . . Don't you think it's important to take a step back once in a while and actually do things that you love? Which is why 2019 for me is all about self love and mental health โจ๐ฟ I'm back into bookstagramming, which is a community I completely love, I'm leaving work on time (no more overtime!) so I can actually get home earlier and enjoy my private time. I'm learning to just be in the moment and not constantly chasing after the next. And oh, really taking my sweet time reading so I can savour the experience. It's liberating! โจ๐ฟ . . . Plus I'm exploring on ways to just #chill at home, hence my scented candle buy ๐ I am really loving this handpoured soy candle by @mayastudios.kl which is also so wonderful that it's produced locally! โค๏ธโค๏ธ (and I think I spammed them a lot today ๐๐ ) . . #QOTD: What goals have you achieved // planning to achieve this year? . . . #bookstafeatures #bookishfeatures #minimalism #candle #booksandcandle #soycandle #babybreath #bookishlove #bookstack #booknerd #booksofinstagram #culturetripbooks #booklover #bookstagrammersunite #selflove #goal #2019 #Bookaddict #bookaholic #bookobsessed #bookphotography

Happy Easter to my Christian bookstagrammers and Happy Sunday to everyone ๐ . . A super #throwback photo and a short caption today because I'm dead after my super exhausting yet fun filled weekend getaway. ๐ I had tons of delicious food, lots of laughter with my friends and generally had such a great time, my mind and soul felt so refreshed and I'm ready to take on this week. (Though, I'm still not ready for Shadowhunters episode 3 x 19, which will be airing this Monday and I know I'm going to die a painful emotional death... I just had to post this with my SH obsession ๐) . . #QOTD: Inspired by the Golden Trio, what do you value most in a friendship? #AOTD: Loyalty and chemistry. Just like any other relationship, it takes chemistry to connect to one person and loyalty to make them stay! ๐ I love my uni friends who I don't meet very often after we parted since graduation, yet we can still be the best of friends when we do meet up after a long while. . . . #sundayprompt #harrypotter #thegoldentrio #sunday #bookstagramfeature #bookstafeatures #booksofinstagram #bookstagrammer #bookandpet #minimalism #bookwormforlife #culturetripbooks #bookishlove #booktography #booknerdigans #booklovers
