TOP TEN TUESDAY: My 2021 Resolutions aka how to make 2021 your best year yet (my POV)

New year. New resolutions. New intentions. New hopes. All for the best year yet!

Getting through a year of hell aka 2020 is such an achievement for all of us. For the whole of 2020, I have had been on the edge of my seat, waiting for the next bad surprise to be dropped and/or thinking if I’d still get to witness what 2021 would be like. Thank goodness I’m still here! Now, buckle up, survivors. I have some fun (might be too ambitious) ideas on how to make 2021 a better year than the last one!

P.S. Don’t expect TEN RESOLUTIONS.

BOOK REVIEW — the gilded wolves by roshani chokshi

“But what no one tells you is that even when you decide which world you will live in, the world may not always see you as you would wish. Sometimes it demands that you be so outrageous as to transcend your very skin. You can change your name. Your eye colour. Make yourself a myth and live within it, so that you belong to no one but yourself.” —a quote from The Gilded Wolves by Roshani Chokshi

Kumusta, bookworms?

The Silvered Serpents, sequel to The Gilded Wolves, is coming out next month. So I figured that this is the best time to finally read it and I just wish I would’ve read read it sooner because it’s everything I’m looking for in a book!

BOOK REVIEW — blood of a thousand stars by rhoda belleza

“It’s terrible when people leave. I’m not gonna tell you to get over it, because that’s stupid, and if we could just get over things when we say we’re going to, then we would never cry…” She sighed. “This is coming out all wrong. But sometimes when people leave, it’s because they had their own thing going on. It’s not your fault, and it’s not your responsibility—if you treat someone right and they leave, then it’s on them.” —an excerpt from Blood of a Thousand Stars by Rhoda Belleza

Kumusta, bookworms?

Yesterday, I posted my review on Empress of a Thousand Skies by Rhoda Belleza. Today, I’m reviewing its sequel, Blood of a Thousand Stars, which I loved as much as I loved the first book! Read on for my thoughts on Blood of a Thousand Stars by Rhoda Belleza.

BOOK REVIEW — empress of a thousand skies by rhoda belleza

“Most people thought only of their own comfort and convenience.” —a quote from Empress of a Thousand Skies by Rhoda Belleza

Kumusta, bookworms?

I’m very excited to talk about one of my favorite science fiction/space opera books on this blog! I first read Empress of a Thousand Skies in 2016. I decided to re-read it this month for Wikathon, and I’m so glad I did because it reminded me of why I loved it so much in the first place. I even found new things that I love about it!
