This book is so damn good!
Definitely 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 read for me!

People think that intimacy is about sex. But intimacy is about truth. When you realize you can tell someone your truth, when you can show yourself to them, when you stand in front of them bare and their response is 'you're safe with me'- that's intimacy.

The first few chapters were good but after that, it went hmph.

3/5, because I am annoyed with the lack of communication between these two main characters. The ending just....😑

Well, time to compare the series to this book then!

It took me a while to process this book because it was so dark and haunting.

This is a great book but there is no way that I would ever read it again.

3.5/5 from me!

”He had not lost anything; he‘d only gained.”

The power of forgiveness is too strong in this one!

🌟 🌟🌟🌟 from me!

One of the books that I‘ve read in one sitting!

No matter what they wish for, no matter how far they go, people can never be anything but themselves.

Because shopping is too basic for this lady #currentread

Definitely not a light beach read 😅

Got to say after reading Men Without Women; I am utterly dissatisfied and disappointed with his perception towards women.

But still, I always find an excuse to not ditching Murakami, and surely this book is one of the reasons for me not to do so.

My 6th Murakami, and still counting in.

And now here is my secret, a very simple secret: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye. -Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince

Too accurate...

Trying to ease the brain with this one #holidaymode

Current read ☺️

Picking up someone at this really late hours surely won't be a problem when you have book and coffee

Starting my March with short yet insightful work of Adichie 🤗

Happiness begins when you get a book, for FREE! ☺️

My feline is so not impressed with her master weeping and hugging her too tight right after finishing off this book.

Anyway, this book is so well written from both prespectives, the human (Saturo) and cat (Nana). I couldn't help myself to laugh and weep while reading this.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 from muahhh

Somehow it feels like Coelho is screaming " Follow your heart. Go and live your dreams girlll" in my ears.

My previous "young and carefree" side of me surely appreciated this, but surely as we all know, our views in life will change accordingly to experiences that we had along the way.

Of course we would want to follow our desires, but another question to self, do they serve the best interest not only to self, but others as well?

My morning fix of the week 😘

This is a daunting, yet moving memoir of Schlomo Venezia, who once was a Sonderkommando at Auschwitz-Birkenau.

Things that Venezia described and the haunting illustrations by his fellow friend David Olero throughout the dark period really creeps the hell out of me.

This book is not only a memoir, but it is a history of human wickedness; in which like any other daunting histories itself; they meant to be learnt, not repeated.

More books to be read during weekends

This is the time when you start to question self what kind of books that you read during 6th grader (because bruh this book is considered quite dense for 6th grader in my country).

Btw, my first book of 2017 and surely, it starts well 😂

“By their very nature, human beings are so capricious, so complex, so delightfully contradictory, that they deserve not only our consideration, but our reconsideration—and our unwavering determination to withhold our opinion until we have engaged with them in every possible setting at every possible hour.”

❤️❤️

Ending my year with a small company, good book and peaceful scenery.

Happy new year ahead, Litsy-ians 😘

And hopefully in time to finish off Amor Towles as book number 75 😂

Letters to A Young Muslim to me is not an ordinary set of letters. In fact, it is a set of love letters written by a father to his sons on how to face complexities of the world without losing their faiths in between.

It is kinda strange when you begin your year with Rushdie and ends it with a peaceful work of Ghobash.

BTW, the 71-st book of 2017, and I am taking a time off (hopefully!)

Mary Poppins and Bert to bring up the joyous spirit of Christmas

Am having a hard time to consume this grim book!

If Murakami's books are not enough for you..😂

I bet most of us dream about this one! 😂

Btw, Sarah Anderson truly makes me giggle with her wits 😂

Taking a break with this one

My first Celeste Ng and oh my am loving it.

A friend of mine constantly praised this book, how it changed the way she sees things in life.I have read Milk and Honey before and honestly, I am not a fan.

Well, am regretting every single minute, every single line that I read. Still bleak, unartistic and to called it as poetry is truly overstatement.

A friend told me
"You should give it another try"
and I did..

Sadly,
I still dont get it
and to be honest
I never will...

Reading this while drinking a huge cup of coffee 😝

Perfect lunch

"If you want to see what the nation is all about, you have to ride the rails. Look outside as you speed through, and you'll find the true face of America.

It was a joke then, from the start. There was only darkness outside the windows of her journeys, and only ever would be darkness."

-- This is definitely a hard read for me

“And history has proven repeatedly that lunatics will rise to power again and again on tidal waves of aggressive nationalism and intolerance, even in places where it seems utterly incomprehensible.”

Missed my boat due to this, but still I don‘t mind waiting for the next one. This book is so good!

Oh hello there #currentread

"But I don't want comfort. I want God, I want poetry, I want real danger, I want freedom, I want goodness. I want sin."

It's kind of interesting on how feelings play a huge role in social "stability and advancement".

If 1984 by George Orwell is driven by extreme fear, this book by Aldous Huxly is purely driven by uncontrollable desire.

Both project the extremism of humans, which we all know how it will end.

Btw, book number 50 is finally ✅

Oh hello lunch 🤗

The perks of living in Malaysia? Public holidays, people! Yup, I think we have probably at least 10 paid public holidays.

Well, time to spend holidays with books and coffees 🤗

What the hell just happened? Martin and Tarantino were in town this week!!!

There you go, the pictures of these legends, sipping away while me probably just walked by ☹️

" I think young people like you should travel more, don't waste time and money on books."

Well, said a guy who travelled all the way to Bangkok just to get himself some bloody shirts.

I never felt so insulted in my life until this person ridiculed my passion of reading. Luckily, when he gave me the so called "life advices", I was in a mood of not giving a fuck at all ?

BTW, my first solo trip is finally ✅

Who will give a f*ck about delayed flight if you have a book in hand?

My TBR is officially, two times crazier! But still love my paperbacks #backupbooks #nopaperbacknoproblem

The only option when you don't have the physical book in hand ☹️

So far I've read 3 Murakami's, but this one by far is so close to my heart.

A soul becomes bitter when they can't make peace with their past. There were things that weren't meant to be, and no matter how hard to let them go, you must do so, especially when it slowly become nothing else but a poison to yourself.
