Brandon Sanderson’s Warbreaker :) The book is so long, but it’s a tightly plotted book, so am enjoying it.

Just recently (re)started Quiet by Susan Cain, have had this for long and had started reading before but stopped halfway.

Previous book was Inverting the Pyramid: A History of Football Tactics by Jonathan Wilson.

I do prefer nonfiction to fiction.

Need to pick up Normal People again, but haven’t had the mood to do so yet

Fun question! I’m trying to increase my diet of nonfiction lately. I just finished Andre Agassi’s Open, which was amazing. He’s so honest. You really internalise a feeling that the people who stand on top of the world are still normal humans with doubts and flaws and messed up parents.

I’m about two thirds through Jonathan Haidt’s The Righteous Mind, which is about the evolution of moral instincts. The “moral tastebuds” and the differences between liberal and conservative morality in this regard were really eye-opening (wiki summary).

Fiction: Just re-read Ted Chiang’s Understand last week while procrastinating in bed. Asian-American sci-fi is the besstt

I just gave up on Project Hail Mary. Yup, still not so keen on sci-fi. So happens one of my preorders on Google Play Books just showed up in my library today, Brandon Sanderson’s secret project #3, Yuni and the Nightmare Painter, so I’ve started that. Title sounds like some kinda romance but as usual, his books just suck you in.

I may do a reread of either his Mistborn series or Christian Cameron’s Long War Series next.

A couple more new books that I preordered will be dropping next month, looking forward to those too.

I just finished Bangkit by Appy Mohd Hapizan, a Fixi Novel Sarawak 2016 contest winner. It honestly took a long time, and this was my second try.

The cool thing about it is that the dialogue is in Bahasa Sarawak. I’m torn about the use of real world places (actual business were used as a setting and not shown in a negative light); it helps a Kuching resident picture exactly where the story takes place. Even mentions the multiple roundabouts and the notorious traffic jam heading to Samarahan (most of the roundabouts no longer exist as of this year).

Interesting use of popular local folklore in the plot, although I felt that the book could have started at the 2/3 point of the novel and expanded on the alternate universe a little.

Not sure what my next read is going to be yet. I just scored a luxury edition of 'X: The Erotic Treasury" edited by Susie Bright and it’s lying around within arms reach because I can’t get over how beautiful the edition is.

I’m reading Three Body Problem by Liu Cixin (in Chinese). Reading book 3 by now. The author isn’t exactly good at writing characters and dialogue & loves lengthy exposition and I also don’t really agree with the cynical themes of the book but admittedly, it’s a fun and mostly engaging read especially with the science fiction parts, the plot is full of interesting twists, and the themes are quite interesting to chew on.

Reading Bridgerton series again! It was my very first historical romance and getting acquainted with the characters once more feels like a trip down memory lane~ (the Netflix series sucks big time)

Very slowly, Legion from the WH40K Horus Heresy series.

7 down, 56 to go.

I was re-reading hunger games, but when I readched Mockingjay I kinda started to get bored lol… haven’t picked up since then I should also go back to reading Honzuki.

Oh Project Hail Mary is such a good book! I read it a while ago. If you’re into sci-fi at all, you’ll love the book. Check out The Martian if you haven’t already, same author

Flipping through short stories from a couple of best-of anthologies at the moment, though I’m planning to start The Coral Bones by E. J. Swift sometime soon. Been on a kick of reading marine-adjacent fiction lately.
