A Series of New Beginnings

February 11, 2021

The Happy Place 5: New BeginningsThis month’s topic of The Happy Place 5 is new beginnings, particularly first book in series. We’re meant to share upcoming series were excited about but I’ve not been keeping up with new publications. Since I also own dozens of first books in series that I have yet to read, I decided to turn to my bookshelf. I picked out five series that I want to start this year, mostly based on how excited I was when I first acquired these books.

How to Access More Than One OverDrive Library on a Kobo

January 27, 2021

Kobo Forma and iPhone 6 showing ebook loans from OverDrive on the screens. Image is overlaid with a box in which the title and subtitle are stated. How to Access More Than One OverDrive Library on a Kobo: Bring all your ebook loans wherever you goFor the longest time I had two misconceptions about OverDrive and eReaders:

  1. I thought it was only possible to sync Kindle devices wirelessly with US libraries’ OverDrive catalogues.
  2. Somehow, I also thought that only one library catalogue could be linked with a Kobo device at a time.

Boy, was I wrong on both counts, and I’m more than happy to admit it. Now that I know better, and have figured out how to access more than one OverDrive library on a Kobo device, I appreciate my Kobo Forma even more than before.

The Happy Place 5: Books That Kept Us Afloat in 2020The Happy Place 5 is a monthly feature for which we pick five books according to a specific theme.

February 2019 Overview

April 2, 2019

February 2019 Overview | Word RevelYes, I know it’s April, and yes, I know everyone else is posting their March wrap-ups, while I’m here with mine for February. I could’ve skipped ahead but I didn’t like the thought of a gap in my archives for 2019, so here we are. Also, I read so few books in March, I need some motivation that I can get back on track this April.

SG Book Deals Books Box Sale 2019: Book Haul

March 14, 2019

Shopping isn’t my favourite pastime by far, and as much as I can, I order supplies I need online. Yet, I’ve looked forward to the yearly SG Book Deals warehouse sale since 2015. When they skipped out on last year, I was bummed.
