We have surpassed yet another month in 2016 and now we've reached the first quarter of the year! Despite all my life routines that kept me busy, thankfully I still managed to read a decent amount of books in February. Not as much as I wanted to, but I tried my best. I read a total of 7 books in February (I'm cheating a little bit because one of them is a comic book and another one is a very short speech book), which is more or less the same amount like I always read each month. Really hoping I could surpass that number in the upcoming months—I'm wishing for a holiday when I can just read all day everyday. Anyways, here are the books I've read and reviewed last month, non-review posts in February and the books I'm planning to read in March!

Top Ten Books I Read in 2015

I know this is pretty late, but I seriously didn't have the time to write anything these last couple of days. Nevertheless, I think it's never too late to share the Top Ten Best Books that I read in 2015. These books are not necessarily published in 2015, it's just that I read them during that year. I read quite a lot of books last year and discovered some amazing ones that I loved so much. Some of them even become my all-time favorite too. Anyways, let's jump right into the list—and they're not listed in a particular order, I just wrote down the ones I thought of first :))

December Wrap-Up // January TBR | 2015/2016: Happy New Year!

.

image source: here. edited by me.

First of all, let me say, HAPPY NEW YEAR 2016!

It's a new year, it's a new day, and I'm really excited to see what 2016 has to offer. Last December was really hectic because I had several trips out of town as well as participating in various events. I was surprisingly very social last month. On the down side, because I was busy doing other things, I didn't really have much time left to read. Whenever I got home, I would be too tired to pick up a book and just went straight to bed. But at least at the end of the year I still managed to reach my Goodreads Reading Challenge goal of reading 90 books even though I only read 7 books in December! And these are the books I've read and reviewed last month, non-review posts in December and the books I'm planning to read in January!

November Wrap-Up // December TBR | 2015

Here we are at the last month of the year! November was really crazy for me (that's why this post is published a little bit later than usual); a lot of things happened—both good and bad—but I know God has a beautiful plan for my life. I resolved to read more books in November, however it turns out to be a failure because I didn't get to read all that much last month. I finished 5 (almost 6) books in November; not too bad, but I was actually hoping for a little bit more than that. I had a lot of plans as well in December, so I'm not sure if I'll be able to read much even though it's the holiday season. Not setting any goals because I actually reached my Goodreads Reading Challenge goal already. I'm just going to enjoy reading in a relaxed pace to finish off 2015 :) Here are the books I've read and reviewed last month, non-review posts in November and the books I'm planning to read in December!

October Wrap-Up // November TBR | 2015

Another month went by in a flash and now we're entering a new month, November! October especially went by very quickly for me because I was super busy and life was really hectic. And because of all that, it took me a long time to finish reading a book—that's why I didn't get to read much this month (even though I have SO many books I need to finish). I only read 6 books in October, which is a huge drop from last month's achievement; but hopefully I'll be able to make up for it this month. Even though I didn't read much, I actually posted quite a lot of book reviews for books that I read a while back. Without further ado, these are the books I've read and reviewed this month, non-review posts in October and the books I'm planning to read in November!

September Wrap-Up // October TBR | 2015

We're so close to the end of the year now! It's only 3 months away, OMG. This month I was quite busy as well, but I consider myself quite productive in terms of reading and blogging. I read a total of 10 books this month—3 of them are comics & graphic novel—and I'm really proud of that since last month I didn't get to read as much. I finally reached my Goodreads Reading Challenge goal to read 70 books in 2015, so I'm adding 10 more because there's still 3 months left. I'm planning to marathon another series by the end of this year, so hopefully I'll accomplish that :) Here are the books I've read and reviewed this month, non-review posts in September and the books I'm planning to read in October!

August Wrap-Up // September TBR | 2015: BBI East Java Meet-up !

.

image source: here. edited by me.

It's officially a new month and August really went by in a flash for me. Last month was extremely hectic because I was busy with several events so I had a lot of things to do. Due to my crazy schedule last month I only read 5 books in August—which is a little bit less than my usual amount but it's not too bad. It took me quite a long time to finish a book this month because I was also distracted by Korean dramas, so.... yeah. Hopefully I'll be able to make up for it next month :)) Out of all the books I read this month, I only managed to review 3 of them because I'm still working on the rest. I don't know why but I find myself feeling a little bit lazy last month in terms of blogging. Is this what they call a blogging slump? Anyways, here are the books I've read and reviewed this month, non-review posts in August and the books I'm planning to read in September!

July Wrap-Up // August TBR | 2015: New Zealand Trip & Bungee Jump !

.

image source: here. edited by me.

The holiday season is finally over and now it's time to face another month! I feel refreshed after the 2-week holiday that I had during the third and fourth week of July. I hope it will give me the energy to survive until the next holiday. *fingers crossed* If you followed me on Goodreads, you'll know that I don't read that many books this month—which is quite ironic compared to the amount of books I read last month. I read 2 books and 2 graphic novels in July; but one of the books is 900+ pages long, so it's still a win for me personally. I reviewed 6 books this month and most of them are books that I read in June. Okay, so here are the books I've read and reviewed this month, non-review posts in July and the books I'm planning to read in August.

June Wrap-Up // July TBR | 2015

.

June is finally over and we're welcoming a new month! My life has become extremely hectic this past June, and I will talk more about my new routines at the end of this post. And even though I was really busy this month, surprisingly I managed read quite a lot of books. I read a total of 10 books and 1 novella this month—which is very unusual because in the previous months I usually read about 6-7 books. Well I did plan on reading more books in June because I want to read something big next month. You'll see what I'm planning to read in July from my TBR below ;) I managed to review 8 books this month; and reviews for the rest of the books that I finished in June will be published next month. Anyways, here are the books I've read and reviewed this month, non-review posts in June, and also THE BOOK I'm planning to read in July.

May Wrap-Up // June TBR | 2015

.

We're halfway through 2015, yayy! May was a pretty good month for me, even though things got a little bit hectic at work but it's still manageable. In terms of reading, I think I maintained my reading progress quite well. I read 6 books in May and reviewed 9 books in total (including last month's reads that I just reviewed this month). I did read half of my May TBR and hopefully I'll be able to tackle the rest of it this month. Here are the books I've read and reviewed this month, non-review posts in May, and a list of books I'm planning to read in June.

April Wrap-Up // May TBR | 2015

.

We're almost halfway through 2015 !! Like, what? Where did all the time go? These days I felt like 24-hours is not enough, because I still have so many things I want to do—so many books I want to read. And a lot of things happened this month, including me getting a year older. I was quite busy in April, but thankfully I was able to maintain my reading progress this month. So far I've read 7 books (and 2 novellas) this month and reviewed 7 books in total (some are from last month's read). I read almost all of my April TBR, which is great, so I can schedule to read other books for next month :) Now let's get straight to the books I've read and reviewed this month, non-review posts in April, and a list of books I'm planning to read in May.

March Wrap-Up // April TBR | 2015

.

March has come to an end! How was your third month of the year? I was so beat up and tired this month because I started working at the office now. I will talk more about it later in this post after all my reading wrap-ups :) In terms of reading, I managed to read a decent amount of books despite my crazy schedule these days. I've read 7 books so far; but I couldn't read all the books I want from last month's TBR because I kept receiving new books that I have to read first. I'm also quite sad because I only read one English book this month :( Anyways, here are the books I've read and reviewed this month, non-review posts in March, and a list of books I'm planning to read in April.

February Wrap-Up // March TBR | 2015

The second month is almost over and we're entering the third month, March! I still feel time flies by so fast each and every month. New year just seemed like yesterday, and we're almost at the first quarter of 2015. This month I read 6 (almost 7) books, which is quite okay, even though I hoped I could've read a bit more than that. A lot of things happened in February, that's why I couldn't read as much as I wanted. So here are the books I've read and reviewed this month, non-review posts in February, and a list of books I'm planning to read in March.

January Wrap-Up // February TBR | 2015

Hello! How's your first month of the year? I still can't believe how it seems like January just passed by so quickly. Don't you feel that way too? Because it seems it was just yesterday that we celebrated the new year. Because last month I didn't read that much book, I tried my best to make up for it and pushed myself harder to read more books. And I'm quite satisfied with the number of books I've read this month. Although it's not that much, it's obviously a little bit more than the number of books I usually read. So here are the books I've read and reviewed this month, non-review posts in January, and a list of books I'm planning to read in February.

Happy New Year 2015 !

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2015 !  

This is our first step in the new year, 2015. Looking back at 2014, there are so many things I want to be grateful for. One, is I officially graduated from University with satisfying grades. Going through final thesis wasn't easy, there are a LOT of struggles. But I'm thankful for everyone who supported me and got me through it :)) Two, I voted for the presidential election for the first time ever, and I"m sure we all hope better things will happen to our country. Three, I was able to return to my favorite country: South Korea—which is a whole new experience because I was traveling only with my friend. There are still tons of things I'm grateful for this year, and remembering everything, I want to thank God for all He's done in my life. And I have faith that God will also guide me as we're entering 2015 :)

December Wrap-Up // January TBR | 2014/2015

HELLO! We're now officially at the end of 2014 and I am super excited for 2015. Even though this month was a very exciting one for me, unfortunately my reading was not doing great in December. It's quite embarrassing to say that I only finished reading 3 books this month.... please don't judge me. I still read everyday though, but the time I have to read each day is not plenty. Anyways, I'll use the holiday season as my excuse for not reading a lot of books. But I still completed my Goodreads Reading Challenge though ;) So here are the books I've read and reviewed this month, non-review posts in December, and a list of books I'm planning to read in January 2015.

November Wrap-Up // December TBR | 2014

We have finally reached the last month of the year, oh my God, still can't believe how time flies so fast. I was quite busy this month with a lot of things to do and errands to run. Even though it felt like I barely had time to read, I think I still managed to keep up with my reading progress and read 6 books in total (the same amount as last month). Which isn't so bad for me personally, even though 4 books are Indonesian and only 2 are English books. So here are the books I've read and reviewed this month, non-review posts in November, and a list of books I'm planning to read in December.

October Wrap-Up // November TBR | 2014

October is finally over, and exciting things happened to me this month! I'm glad I was quite productive with my blog posts this month, even though in terms of reading it's more or less the same as last month. I guess I could say that going on a-week holiday trip is one of the reason why my reading progress slowed down a bit; because while I was in South Korea, I didn't read one bit (I even left my Kindle at home - which was unintentional). I read a total of 6 books this month, which was okay, even though there's no development from last month. So here are the books I've read and reviewed this month, non-review posts in October, and a list of books I'm planning to read in November.

September Wrap-Up // October TBR | 2014

I can't believe it's almost October already, we're nearing the end of the year! A lot of things happened to me this month - including my college graduation which was on the 27th. As for my reading this month, it wasn't as productive as I hoped it would be - because I spent a lot of time playing games ㅋㅋㅋ I read a balanced amount of Indonesian and English books, but the number of books I finished this month is pretty similar with last month. I read a total of 6 books this month, and finally finished my super long review on A Game of Thrones. So here are the books I've read and reviewed this month, non-review posts in September, and a list of books I'm planning to read in October.

August Wrap-Up // September TBR | 2014

.

image source: here. edited by me.

To be honest, August wasn't a very productive month for my blog (and my reading). I got back from my holiday trip to the UK on 10th, and had so many things to do after that. I also dedicated almost the whole month to finish reading A Game of Thrones; so I only picked up comic books to alternate my reading (because I can never focus on reading two different stories at the same time). Not that I'm complaining, because A Game of Thrones is totally awesome and Westeros is still lingering in my mind. Thankfully, in the last few days of August I managed to read several Indonesian books that I bought this month. I read a total of 5 books in August (not including Son), but only managed to review 4 of them (because I seriously have no idea how to start my review on A Game of Thrones). So here are the books I've read and reviewed this month, non-review posts in August, and lastly a list of books I'm planning to read in September. spoiler: I mentioned a bit about my holiday, a course I recently take, and k-dramas!
