Happy Friday everyone! 🥰🌿✨🌼 These must be my most favourite book covers of all time! And yes, I bought two different editions of Persuasion this month. 🙃 hahahaha which do you like better from the two? I honestly can’t decide. Hehe.

Do book covers matter to you? How important are they to your reading experience? ☺️✨🍂

Good morning, loves! ☺️✨☕️ Hope you’ve had your warm cup of tea or coffee. I’ve been wanting to finish Love and Other Words but because of my work/responsibilities I only get to read at night. But today, i’m sneaking in some book time while i’m on shift. Hihi *just our secret. 😅✨🍂

I’m keeping my thoughts about Elliot and Macy for now, will share what I think when I finish this soon! But since watching Sanditon, I’m imagining Elliot to look like Theo 😂 haha.

So far though, my favourite thing about this book is Macy’s relationship with her dad. Does anybody else get emotional when there’s a father/child heart to heart conversations in the books that we read? I always do, even with movies. 🥺 This was my recent highlight from Love and Other Words —

“I’m sorry I was so quiet tonight,” he said, haltingly.

I met his eyes in the mirror. “I like your kind of quiet. Your heart isn’t quiet.” 💛✨

PS. My table is actually a refurbished sewing machine table, so that’s why I have a black cone on the bottom left of the photo hehe. ✨ Have a great day, loves!

What are you reading in your cozy nooks today? 🥰🍂✨💐 📖

 Good morning, loves! ☺️✨☕️ Hope you’ve had your warm cup of

Good morning from half of my newly arranged wall shelves! 🥰✨ so soooo happy with how this turned out. I also had so much fun painting and upcycling glass bottles and this old lamp (which had a rusty mustard color hehe). 💛

All of my quarantine books fit, and I got to add some old ones too!!! YAY! The lower shelf has to be my favourite though. It holds all of the classic books I own. 😍

Have you read any of the books on this photo? Thoughts and rating for them? ☺️🌼🍂

 Good morning from half of my newly arranged wall shelves!

I think my highest number of books I read within a month has been 3. So this is a push! But I will take it one book at a time! No need to be pressured. Hehe

A must read for me though is The Two Lives of Lydia Bird by Josie Silver, because this is our

 ‘s first ever book! So so sooooo excited! 🥰✨

What are you planning to read this month?

 My August Wishreads! 😌👒💐 I think my highest number of books

My finds from a real bookstore today!!! 😭✨🍂 I am so so happy!

This is actually my second visit to the mall since lockdown started in March, but the first time I went, I only had maybe ten minutes to look and I got so overwhelmed. (I had The Girl On The Train in my hand but left it when my dad called me), but this time I got fifteen minutes in Booksale! 😂

.tanned.pages hehe and found some sweet classics too — The Garden Party and Other Stories by Katherine Mansfield and My Āntonia by Willa Cather (just searched in Goodreads and it’s the third book from a series, but how can I pass from the beautiful cover!!) and! I finally got my own copy of Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf from Fully Booked! It was only 125! 💛✨

How was your first bookstore trip? And what did you buy?

Can’t wait to read these books! Gonna spend the rest of the day in bed, reading Safe Haven while also looking at these finds huhu. 💛🍂🌼✨

Hope you are all having a cozy day so far! 🥰

 My finds from a real bookstore today!!! 😭✨🍂 I am so so

When I was still in Sydney, I used to always see these little black Penguin books in Kinokunya, Town Hall. They were $2 each and I think that bookstore had all of them. Hundreds. So I never actually bought one, even though they were cheap, I couldn’t pick which to start with because I got so overwhelmed. 😂

Now, after joining the book community seeing these on Fully Booked (for about 120 pesos — which really is quite pricey to me compared to the value of $2) I finally got some of my own copies!! 🙈✨

They say that if you’re looking for the next author to dive into, these little black books are best to see if you’d like their writing style. 💛

I also might not be active here for a couple of days. I’m so busy with work and also organising some stuff for

 , my brain is tired 😅 but my heart is excited! 💕

What was the last book you got from the mail?

 When I was still in Sydney, I used to always see these

Now that I’ve kinda processed my feelings from my last book, please help me choose which one of these

 novels should I read next! ☺️🍂🌼✨

AND ALSO! What’s your favourite song from Folklore??? 🙈🍂 I think mine so far is August and Mirrorball, okay let’s add Epiphany too! 🥺✨

 How are you spending your cozy Monday? I’ve watched Gilmore

Good morning, loves! How close is the weekend! 😌💐✨

 ? I’ve reserved quite a few books to be delivered around September. I don’t know if that’s called cheating 😂 but I’m so happy with the books I’ve found. But Chris is still going strong! Hahahaha

I’ve watched a few classics booktube videos, also seen some children classics for sale on Facebook this weekend. So what to do? I looked at my bookshelf and grabbed some of my childhood classics favourites.

Some of these I bought in Booksale when I was still young and you could still find books from them for 5 pesos. 🥰

The three Anne of Green Gables I have were bought from Sydney. I found Anne of Avonlea and Anne of the Island in a coffee shop by the beach, “Anna’s Shop Around The Corner”. I used to go there after school. Anna’s such a kind lady. Her shop is full of books that you can read while you’re in the coffee shop, and then buy afterwards. Hehe. I miss her. Hopefully when I could come and visit, the shop will still be there. 🧡✨

What’s some of your favourite children’s classics?

 Good morning, loves! How close is the weekend! 😌💐✨ You know

Chased the sunset light yesterday for my September TBR and then I forgot to post it, HAHA — so here it is! 😍✨🍂🍁

How are your October tbr guys? I’m kinda stuck with what to read next haha. What do you do when you can’t find or rather choose, your next read? 🍂

In the mean time... I’m just gonna sit here for a bit and admire these covers. 😂

Also, what tv series/movie have you been loving lately?

 Good morning! 😌✨ How are your October tbr guys? I’m kinda

I took this photo the other day. My recent classic haul 🙈 but I didn’t get a chance to post it. It’s been such a stressful and hectic week at work. Working 6 days a week, waiting for election results (ps. I’m so happy!!! It’s weird how I feel this much joy when I know that them winning wouldn’t affect me that much — BUT WOW! Goes to show that IT IS POSSIBLE 😭💛). I was meant to work again on my day off tomorrow, but just found out that I don’t need to anymore and can actually take a rest on a monday. I could honestly cry. 😭😭😭

I’ll be turning off my phone today and I’m gonna re-watch the 7th episode of Start Up!

Hope you are all well. Don’t forget to take a rest. It’s okay to turn off your phone. It’s okay to not read today. Just rest. 🤗✨
