Here we go again.... 2020 has passed us by, like poof, no trace.. I don't think i actually lived in 2020, like 2020 just passed in front of my eyes 😂 BUT, 2020 ended couple days ago, and it's time to look back to my GoodReads Challenge..  So in 2020, i optimistically set the goal of number of books that i would read in total = 36 books. Well, I actually achieved it.. Uyeeaay.. I tried really hard to be consistent by finishing 3 books a month in 2020,  if it's a song, it will be "Jatuh bangun aku mengejarmu". I consumed books in so many channels, eBook with different sources; Kindle and iPusnas apps, audio book from ;YouTube, Spotify, Blinkist, and of course the hardcopy book. I also used multiple devices from my phone, iPad, and Mac. To summarize, it IS HARD lol 😂 2020 was an exciting years though for me as a hard-core Andrea Hirata fan, because he released Guru Aini and some unedited version of his previous books. For me, Guru Aini is really awesome copy, as it...

 I'd like to share a quote from a book titled "300 Things I Hope" by Iain S. Thomas. The book is so cute, with literally 300 things wished by the author for the reader. And this one below, hit me on another level. I also hope it can resonate with you 😊

Wow, i can't believe my first post of the year 2020 is on Feb :'') I feel sorry for my self 😰 Well, for this first post i'd like to share my Goodreads Reading Challenge. On 2019, I've shared my goal to read 24 Books. By December 2019, I've read 25 books, with achievement by target reached 104%, and YoY Growth +108%. The highlight of my 2019 reading , beside the fact that i achieved my target, was finally i completed the series of The Secrets of The Immortal Nicholas Flamel, after temporarily stopped since 4 years ago while i was still in college :'') My Goodreads Account This year, i would like to step up my reading target to 36 books. For me personally, this target is kinda scary because my reading speed is lower since i got older and higher Minus >.< But I will try harder to achieve this year target too.. Moreover, this year i already got a boosting spirit by Andrea Hirata with his book Guru Aini . I think it's the most prod...

Right now it's kind of hard for me to read. Actually I’ve bought several books on my Kindle : some poetry books & some novels. However because of my new responsibility @ works, I'd often work late, and feel so tired when I come home, and rather spend my time on social media (Instagram, twitter, or  Youtube) that don’t require so much thinking with my brain. But then, after hours of browsing I'd feel regret because I waste so much time unproductively like that... I really want to get back to reading mode again as soon as possible... So... Wish me luck...

It's been quite some times since i last read my last book.. Earlier this year i committed to read 24 books this year, its average is 2 books a month. Even though i already read 13 books, so it remains 11 books left and i still have 6 months, i still feel left behind..  Come to think of it, these days i spend the evenings with Netflix.. I have finished Designated Survivors (3 seasons), How to get away with murder (4 seasons, only 4 seasons available in Netflix Indonesia), currently watching Voice 3, Orange is the new black, and some Movies Netflix originals.. I'll be back to book for now though..

Hello. It's been about a month since I wrote here #Sorry The thing is my workload is a little bit crazy last month, that all I ever wanted to do in the weekend is taking a rest. I even planning to have a get away vacation in the end of the year, but still have no idea if it could happen or not :( Anyway, I'd like to share and continue my long lost hobby : Reading a book. I think that it's necessary to find something to convert all the stress I have in work to other things. You know, with all the limitations : I am in office for 12 hours straight (8am to 8pm), for 5 days (Monday to Friday), and seeing the same people everyday. It turn out not only stressful full enough (with the work), but also boring as lord knows how it feels. So I start again to read a book! Not as aggressively and efficiently as when I was in college, but I start my old and first hobby since forever. You may wonder why I said it's not the same as when I was in college. Well when I was in c...
