Fool in Every Sense

When I saw this on the book sale stand I didn't think twice and grabbed it along with two other books and purchased it.
Since I was a kid I am fascinated with history and I am thrilled to get a glimpse of England's past and to have a slight idea of how crazy it is in The Royal Court.
For me, the Queen's Fool gave its readers the third side of the coin, it is like bird's eye view from Hannah, the main protagonist giving the reader broader view of the situation.
I like the characters that was put together by Ms. Gregory, they compensate each other and everyone has their key part. Even the supporting characters in the book had roles to play not just a bystander who happens to be there or just a passing stranger.
Fool I am in every sense to even thought of stopping to read the book at the beginning because of the slow pace, but towards middle of the story where we begin to see Hannah struggle being a fool, a daughter and a duty of being a good wife. The story reminds me of everyday life we portray and the choices and sacrifices we made for what we think is the greater good.

The Reading Challenge

At the start of the year there were two reading challenges I committed myself to The Goodreads Reading Challenge where you will decide how many books you can read for the year. The other one I got from my cousin but upon searching in Google it's a Popsugar Reading Challenge. I must have underestimated my annual calendar because I challenged my self to red 50 books in Goodreads. I thought "50 books? Oh that's nothing, I have all the time in the world." And guess what? It's mid of November and here's my reading challenge. Apparently I didn't plan on being too busy during mid year but I'm not complaining I just didn't expect it to be like that. Still, I'm happy to I have read 25 books so far. And these are mostly YA books. What's with YA anyway? Am I old to be reading it? But that's another blog entry I suppose. I am happy to discover new authors that I will sure follow (Sarah Haas, Cassandra Rose Clarke) and the likes. With these 2...

How To Be Interesting So That Other Can Envy and Notice You

My whole 32 years of existence, ok, minus the toddler years where I don’t really care; I want to be wanted, desirable, likable and according to Google, to achieve this you must be interesting and as part of my research that’s why I came across this book. I hunted for this book in the hope that I can get tips so I can be interesting. In the cover it says: Rule # 1. One must be attractive . – If you are such a good friend or sister you will tell your mates that its personality that wins. I agree, but for the others to notice you, you must be attractive or else they will not make that second look or make an effort to get to know you thus you are not given the chance to showcase your great personality. So, yes, a nod to this rule #1. Rule #2. One must be friends with other attractive people – Ever heard of the saying “Tell me who your friends are and I tell you who you are”? Now that you’re attractive do not stop there and make friends ...

Rediscovering what sparks joy

Hi, if there's really anyone reading this blog. I kept this blog open more of a open diary and realized that writing is form of therapy for me. For all those bottled up feeling that I couldn't express. The last blog post I did was 2019 that I started a vlog in YouTube, sadly that vlog is no longer existing. I could make up excuses as to why but its really one complicated reason, which could be for another blog post. I was going to write that its been a year since I last posted but and then realized that its 2022 now, well it could be a year if we don't really count 2020. Since moving to the States five years ago (2020 counted here), I was busy trying to make my family and I's life better, financially more or less, ok more so I was really busy with work and making more money. Unconsciously trying to fulfill the wants that I couldn't afford. In the process, I forgot what would make me happy. At the rise of tiktok I have discovered posts that intrigued my curiosity. I...
