As a child, I was an avid bookworm, but somehow lost the habit of reading over the years. In the last 2 weeks of 2022, my passion for reading was reignited after a handful of excellent book recommendations from a special someone, and I made it my 2023 resolution to read 2-4 books a month.
While feverishly making my way down the list of book recommendations, I found myself making too many highlights, and having too many thoughts spilling over into my Notes app, so I decided to turn them into full-blown book review blog posts.
Some books may be hits, some may be ‘meh’ or even outright misses. I’ll review only my favourite books, and you’ll probably find that I have a propensity for self-help or slightly melancholic-yet-inspirational fiction books. If we have similar tastes, hopefully you’ll find a couple of new books to curl up with on a lazy day.
Here’s all my book reviews & recs so far (in reverse chronological order):
- When Breath Becomes Air (Paul Kalanithi) + the fears of a doctor-turned-patient + mortality
- The Midnight Library (Matt Haig) + mental health + self-acceptance
- Sputnik Sweetheart (Haruki Murakami) + manic pixie dream girls
- Kafka on the Shore (Haruki Murakami) + mystical realism
- The Alchemist (Paulo Coelho) + self-sabotage + seeking my ‘Personal Legend’
