The Songs of Achilles
Hate the book T.T I feel like there is no special connection between Patroclus and Achilles.
Patroclus asked one thing from Achilles -- to help fight the Trojans. Alas, his pride (because of his quarrel and fight with Agamemnon) is bigger than his love for Patroclus.
That's Not My Name
Jolted awake after an accident and unable to remember her own name, a girl is picked up by a man who claims to be her father. What follows is the story of a girlswho has forgotten her identity and her life. She is lost in an isolated cabin with this man, trying to piece together who she really is -- and whether he is truly her father.
This book reminds me of A Good Girl's Guide to Murder where the people trying to solve the case are still students and the police don't much during the process.
I liked how the girl's narrative made me believe I know exactly who she was, only fot the story to reveal that I was wrong. The plot twist was heart-wrenching -- that feeling of not being able to save someone and not being able to save them.
All in all, That's Not My Name is a fast-paced thriller that kept my attention, especially with its twist and emotional reveals. However, overall it was just okay for me, but still engaging enough that I wanted to see how everything unfolded.
The Seven Year Slip
A woman moves into her late aunt's apartment, but it isn't an ordinary place to live. In this apartment, time bends, and she finds herself slipping seven years into the past, where she meets a man who once lived there. Their lives overlap across time, and the story follows what happends when love doesn't exist in the same year.
This novel made me feel conflicted -- part of me really liked it, and part of me didn't connect with it. I think that feeling came from the time-slip element; sometimes it felt moving, and other times it pulled me out of the story.
The relationship between the couple felt natural, and their interactions had a warm, soft, comforting tone. I liked the cozy atmosphere and the gentle way their bond developed.
Although I liked the couple, their relationship didn't feel particulary special or memorable. I didn't feel a deep emotional connection between them beyond the apartment and the time-slip concept itself.
Overall, The Seven Year Slip has a beautiful concept and a warm, comforting vibe. However, the emotional connection didn't fully land for me, and the time-jump element sometimes weakened my attachment to the characters. I enjoyed reading it, but it didn't leave a strong lasting impact.
Hidden Pictures
The first few chapters were creepy -- they had me looking over my shoulders and I was scared to read the book at night. The pictures were so unsettling, and I was completely hooked by the story. However, toward the end, the book didn't gave me that chilling vibe anymore. It started to feel flat.
2026 TBR list
As 2025 comes to an end, I am thinking about a list of books I want to read next year. I will keep track of whether I really read them or not, haha. There they are :
The song of achilles
Tell me what you did
The last house on the needless street
That's not my name
Long Game
Cleopatra and Frankenstein
I Who Have Never Known Men
Keep It In The Family
My first ever John Marrs' book. This book is bat crazy. The story is absolutely unhinged. Dark (I even said "Unbelievable"), twisted, and the kind of disturbing that sticks in your head. Whatever secrets should be kept in a family, this one definitely shouldn't have been.
The Love Hypothesis
I remember smiling like a fool reading this book. I kicked my feet in the air on my bed, I screamed into my pillow like a mad person. I loved that this book made me giddy and felt like I was falling in love with a non-existent someone. A week after reading The Love Hypothesis, I kept listening to love songs and smiling in places where I shouldn't have been.
Look Closer
This book is such a page-turner. I thought it was just like an affair revenge thingy. Turns out, it is more than that -- a cunning planned crime I might say. The twiste made my jaw dropped because I didn't expect it to be that twisted (DANGGGG).
It's funny that a tv show makes me want to fall in love, listen to love songs, and smile out of nowhere. Everytime I realise I am smiling, I need to remind myself to stop. Then, I start poutting my lips. I hate myself for dissssss.
Pretty Girls: Marriage is Horror
Who would have thought the man you married is not who he is? He is the one who takes care of you, the one who you can count on, the one who you go to for everything. But, turns out, he takes care something more than the normal stuff. I've never felt so sick about reading a book. For every scene that I cannot handle, I had to take time to pick up the book again. That one time, I read this book while I was eating. I did not expect anything really, so I ended up getting nauseous because of that specific description.

Lampung: First time ever
This was my first time to Lampung. I'd never been so tired. What could go wrong? Nothing. Just got a bloody nose xD
Got to bring my digicam with me today. These are some of the pics I took.
Is waking up at 12 a.m considered as an early bird or a night owl?
Or is that a specific word for it?
Anyway, this sleep cycle has been going on for so long. This is so unhealty, really. However, I am at a total loss on how to break it.
So, what do I do in these wee hours?
Well, mostly it's me working on teaching materials with Pretty Little Liars playing in the background. (Yes, it's my guilty pleasure. Forever rewatching.)
Oh, I always make sure I have my coffee with me.
(Who drinks coffee at this time? Me, duh!)
Slept at 7 pm and woke up at 11 pm. What even am I? Night owl? Early bird? What’s happened to my sleeping schedule?????
