  • Ep 4: What's On Your Bookish Bucket List?

    What’s on your bookish bucket list? 

    Plenty of people have a bucket list of things they want to do in their life before they die. You know, swimming with dolphins, or seeing the Northern Lights. (which I would love to see too) I have so many things on my bucket list, that's why I created categories and in this episode, I'm sharing my bookish bucket list.  It’s filled with ideas for accomplishing major reading, writing, and bookish achievements. 


    Mentioned:

    1. Little Free Library
    2. Bernardine Evaristo
    3. The Library Hotel  in New York City

    4. Ep 3: The 7 Best Short Story Collections I've Ever Read

      In this episode, I share seven short story collections that I 've enjoyed over the last five years. I think short stories have one certain benefit: they are short. And “short” doesn’t only mean the number of words or characters. It also means the fast pace, the single-minded plot, and the concise form.

      Also, I think it's a good way to bring back the habit of daily reading. Don't you think?

        • Ep 2: Tips for Reading Multiple Books at a Time

          Many people are serial readers, they pick up one book and read it cover-to-cover before putting it down. And then there are poly-readers like me. I juggle four, five, or even six books at any given time, never able -- or willing -- to choose just one. Some people have frowned at me when I mention how many books I'm reading and wonder if I even understand them. But I've nurtured this habit not because I'm flighty or easily bored -- or even because it's my job to read many books at a time. It's just because I find that life is simply better when lived among multiple books.

          These are some tips I’ve used to help handle reading more than one book at a time!
