To start off, Hazel recommended Graffiti Moon by Cath Crowley. It’s one of her favourite contemporary/Australian YA books. The best part is I already owned it, so I just had to bump it up my TBR pile.
Mise-en-scène #4: Best Friends
I will never forget my 13th birthday. That year, my best friend gave me the most memorable gift: the gift of books. She hauled a huge tote bag with about 20 or so books to my family’s apartment. Then she declared that she had taken the books that were most dear to her and decided to loan them to me to read. We were only children after all, so we couldn’t afford to actually buy each other presents.
Photography: Colour Balance
When it comes to photographing ebook readers, smartphones and tablets, rendering colours correctly can be somewhat tricky. The screen of my Kindle Paperwhite often has a much stronger blue tint than my eyes perceive. My iPhone screen tends to look a lot more pink in photos than it should.
Retrospect #56-58 (Triple Edition): February 8
It’s been a while since I last wrote a Retrospect post and I’m a day late. Hah. That’s mostly because the past weeks have been a whirlwind. Besides work, I’ve training with my club twice a week and we’ve got a league match every weekend. I also tutor on weekends, so when I have time left, I mostly want to catch up on reading my books. Oh and The 100! Yes, The 100, the TV series.
Reading on the Go
One habit that I picked up when I was still in third grade was to carry a book with me wherever I went. Even when my mother scolded that my bags were too heavy, I was undeterred. Case in point, I still carry a book with me no matter where I go.
