My baby girl has kept me busy and tired for the past few months ever since she decided to pop out almost one month earlier than expected. She's almost 6 months old now and I have started reading books to her. Expect to see reviews on children's books soon!

It has been almost a month since the last Sunday Post on Bookish Michelle! I put the blame on procrastination and laziness. Didn't get to read as much as I wanted to in May but I will have more time in June since I have reduced the number of my weekend classes. My legs gets tired easily from hours of standing in classroom and  they cramp in the middle of the night while I sleep. It's very awful... That's the downside of pregnancy I guess. I won't be working July so I'll have even more time to read. I'm soooo looking forward to that!

Did some doodling for my online greeting card shop. The website has been down since January as my partner and I were too busy with work to focus on creating new designs. Meanwhile, I've started on working on my graphic tablet and graphic design programme and created a new logo for the shop. My partner is super happy with it and prefers the word version over the round logo version.

I've been taking some drawing and watercolour lessons on Skill Share as well and I'm liking it so far. I'm on 2 months trial and if you'd like to try it out, you can do so via this link here. It's a 2 months trial and if you decide to pay for premium after the trial, I get a month too. ;)

I guess that's enough update for today. On with the bookish stuff!

  • Scythe - Have always wanted to read this and I managed to get a copy from the library! Review coming up this week since I've finished reading it.
  • Dating the Undead - The title caught my attention as I was walking around the library. Borrowed it even though the rating on Goodread was just so so. Hope it's good!
  • Stormswept - Sabrina Jeffries is one of my to-go historical romance author. I didn't know she wrote under other pen names as well.
  • The Creakers - Got to know this book through my Goodreads feed. Some book blogger read this and like it. I'm reading this at the moment. Just started though.
  • Thunderhead - Sequel to Scythe. Scythe is sooooooo good that I borrowed the ebook from the library immediately after finish reading. The library near to my place doesn't hold a copy... 
I just hope that I'll be able to finish reading all the books that I've borrowed. I had to return Alex, Approximately because my loan period is up and I can't renew the book. I couldn't really get into the book but I'll try again!

Had a not so hectic week as compared to last week as I've managed to squeeze in some reading time after I knocked off from work at night and before going to sleep. Accidentally fell asleep twice during the week though as I was really tired. Did I mention that I'm into my third trimester of pregnancy? Perhaps that's what made me really sleepy.

Finished a book this week! So, yay to me! Intending to read more since I've stopped providing the short story writing services for others but I have plans to write some children stories of my own (that'll come later, if I don't procrastinate..) I'm also trying to pick up some cute drawing skills from reading those tutorial books. Hope it'll come in handy for my greeting card store online (which is still undergoing 'renovation').

None.
Boo... :'(
But then again, I've got many books from my TBR pile to read.

More time spent on work, less time spent on reading. Marking students' work takes up a lot of my time lately. Besides that, I'm getting quite a few messages on my Fiverr account for my short story writing gig and I'm trying to respond to them soonest possible instead of procrastinating like I used to. Yes, I'm working on my time management as well and hopefully I'll get enough sleep with all those things that I need to do. Plus, I've got an order for a handmade watercolour greeting card which I managed to paint it today. Phew! Lots and lots of things!

Have a great week ahead, everyone!

Was down with throat infection leading to flu-like symptoms since Monday. Getting better now but still had to go to the doctor's for a second time this week to get more drugs yesterday. Doctor said the symptoms might persist for another week due to infection. Meh... The drug is making me drowsy. Work is busy as usual. I'm always marking my students' papers in the afternoon before the evening lessons and by the time I got home from work, I'm totally exhausted. I managed to finish reading 2 books! What an accomplishment!

I know it is two days past Sunday, but still the post still has to go up! Been busy working on a big story writing order for the past few weeks and now that it's done, I can finally have a breather. I've somehow managed to come down with throat infection and unable to go to work for 2 days. I'm basically just resting at home and hoping that my sore throat goes away soon.

Just the usual busy week as usual. I wished I had more time to read but I only managed to read like 20 over pages of The Cruel Prince. I also borrowed an audiobook from my library and listened to it while I mark my students' papers. Turns out that I wasn't following some parts of the audiobook as I was too focused on marking but nevertheless still managed to follow the story so far. When time is short, I just have to find ways to make reading work (or listening). I still prefer reading physical book though.

So many things happened during the few months which I was absent from the blogosphere. I've switched to a part-time job which allows me more flexibility in terms of time management but yet I still did not manage to read any books until this month. In addition, I started providing short story writing services and the order is starting to pick up so I'm going to get a little busier. Time management is something I have to look into. However, I'm glad I managed to take some time to read a few books this month.

My life revolved around work for the past two weeks and I finally got a chance to relax a little today. We went out with my husband's family to cycle. Unfortunately, it rained in the midst of our cycling but we still managed to ride in the rain. The heavy downpour turned into a drizzle in the end and we were all able to ride in comfort.

I did not have much chance to read. The busy period will continue until October when the national exams for the kids are over. I'm so looking forward to it
