Okay, where did January go? Seriously, this month felt like 100 days but it also passed by in a blink! 🤭 In fact, I can hardly even remember what I did in January because what was even time last month? I can’t seem to recall a thing (I’m really too young to be this forgetful). That’s why I’m going to leave it to some photos to cover the highlights, lol. It’s mostly my catto, Kiki, books and food (and my new hair!) but it does sum me and my month up nicely.
A thing I was quite proud of in January was how active I was on bookstagram. I guess you can say that I was there at the start of the rise of bookstagram and I burned out really hard when I tried to do too much. It was to the point that I stopped all of my social media and stuck to Twitter to only share my blog posts. One of my goals in the last two years has been to try and get back into the scene, regardless of how much engagement my posts get. Most years, I’ve failed at this goal after a brief reappearance but this January, I was on there a lot! Obviously, that has pros and cons as I wound up spending too much time mindlessly scrolling but I’m enjoying my time on there and while I don’t think I’ll ever get the same level of engagement as before, I like the chill low-pressure vibes. 🤭

✨ Happy Thursday, friends! ✨ It’s time to share some of my favourite posts of the month from across the book community. I’m in disbelief that the next time I make another one of these it’ll already be the new year, which means that this is the last monthly Community Posts wrap-up for 2024! As such, this might be longer than some of my previous roundups but I do hope you take the time to visit some of these blogs and share some love.
✨📖 Happy reading! 📖✨

Do I even remember what I did in November? Not really, LOL! Honestly, this month just flew by and I have no idea at all where the time went.
Most of the month’s highlights had to do with material things. I bought a bunch of stuff online and my parents were able to bring it back from Japan including keycaps for my keyboard and vinyls. Plus, they surprised me with two bags from my favourite brand! I must admit I am a material girl and I love the goods, so these things made me very happy (especially the vinyls)! 🤭
I also went to see Wicked and I’m not ashamed to admit that I cried buckets. I think what surprised me most was the scene that made me the most emotional because while it made me sad when I saw it on Broadway, the movie scene hit so much harder! I won’t share when exactly but it has to do with a certain ballroom (iykyk) and wow, how the tears flowed! 😂 I was trying hard to not be a sobbing idiot in the theatre, haha (I think I succeeded).

October passed by in a blink of busy work days/weeks, but thankfully, it was massively less stressful than September. I’ve felt slightly jaded lately about my work—what we do, our impact, and the purpose of everything. It’s been making me feel quite demotivated but I’m hoping to shake it off as we near the end of the year.
Other than that, it was a quiet month. I got into a new hobby (mechanical keyboards), bought new vinyl (Gracie Abrams + Sabrina Carpenter), started a new anime (Re:Zero), and made minor upgrades to my desk setup. I also went to the cinema for the first time in years to watch The Wild Robot and loved it so much! 11/10 would recommend. 🥹
My room is beginning to get overcrowded with too many things, especially all the books lying around, and I feel like it’s high time I start trying to reorganize everything. Perhaps I’ll even do a proper unhauling? Let’s see if I can swing it before the year ends!

I’m well aware that there are a little less than two weeks left in October and I’m just now posting my September wrap-up. Better late than never though, right? 🫣
Going into September, I knew it would be a hectic month but I couldn’t have predicted the amount of stress I would endure or the impact it would have on me physically and mentally. It was a lot and I spent the tail end of the month coping with illness as the stress and adrenaline that kept me going throughout was let go all at once. It wasn’t all bad though! I got to watch Wicked on Broadway and I did a whole lot of retail therapy to get things that aren’t available or would cost 2-3 times as much in Indonesia. I know it’s not much but sometimes it is those things that make me feel better when I’m feeling overwhelmed, lol.
Happy Thursday, friends! It’s time to share some of my favourite reads of the month from across the community. I hope you take the time to visit some of these blogs and share some love for their posts. Happy reading!

What was August? Where did August go? I have no idea. All I know is that it was a stressful month and I’m sorry for whining about it all the time in my weekly wrap-ups! 😂 This month was consumed, as usual, by work and stress due to increased workloads and organizational changes that impacted my whole team. I have to be honest, the latter months of the year are not off to a great start (and I’m saying this on the 1st of September, lol)! I want to say that I hope September will be less stressful but I know it won’t be… So let’s just say I’m looking forward to October! 😄
