The Concubine's Tattoo

It's bee a while since I last wrote a review for the book I read, well it's not really a review, probably my insights and though would that be the same? Anyway, I have not been on the computer lately. You see I share PC with my Mom and yes I have got to blame Facebook application for the times I could not let my Ma let me use the computer to write a blog to post on my twitter account or do my online banking.

So now early morning back from work I am blogging about the book I
just finished reading and I must say, the author just became one of my favorite. I got the book by jokingly asking my friend to buy the book for me, because at that time when we were in the bookstore I was eying to buy another book and I don't have the extra money to buy the book and it really look promising so when I asked her she did not have any second thoughts and bought me the book (thanks Joyce).

Boy, was I glad she bought the book because once I began reading
the book I can't hardly put it down. It was "The Concubine's Tattoo" by Laura Joh Rowland an American author from Chinese and Korean decent.
At first I thought the book was slow in pacing but once Ms. Rowland started describing the characters it is as if they were painted clearly in my mind and words used to describe how they feel, succesfully reached me. The plot and story that greatly intrigued me when I saw the book did not disappoint me until the very end, and I thought the ending was greatly served and no characters or story that was left unanswered. I recommend the book to those mystery and suspense book lover like myself and to those who believes about women empowerment as well.

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...
