I decided to give graphic novels a go, starting with Nimona, which was great fun. When I was still in secondary school I used to borrow Manga books from the libraries (public library, school library, language school library) but then stopped reading them when everything started to look the same to me. I wasn’t invested enough to buy them and was happy to borrow them.
Overview: July 2015
I updated my reading spreadsheet and crunched the numbers, which means my July reading stats are out! July picked up a little over June.
Preview: Nimona
I have no idea what Nimona is about. The sole reason I picked it up at the library is that one of the Popsugar Reading Challenge prompts is “A graphic novel” and Nimona is one. Of course, I didn’t pick it all that randomly. I’ve seen a whole lot of people I follow on Instagram and Twitter gush about it. Seeing how I have no idea where to even start with graphic novels, I figured I might as well start here.
Is Bookstagram Losing its Shine? — Overcoming Bookstagram Problems
Over a year ago I took the plunge into the world of bookstagram. I had been on Instagram since the beginning of 2011 but only discovered the bookish community last year after following a couple of book bloggers with my personal account. After very little debate with myself, I decided that marrying books and photography would be a great idea. For the most part I’m very glad I became a bookstagrammer.
Retrospect #82–83: August 2
Earlier this week I blogged about the SG50 warehouse book sale. I made it a point to pop by and obviously didn’t leave without books. All in all I hauled twenty books of which eighteen were for myself and two were for my dad. That stack is so massively heavy, I’m glad my parents suggested that I take along a hand carry luggage. Since I don’t drive, that saved me a lot of grief because weight no longer became an issue when selecting books.
