I got to spend a week on vacation in Penang, Malaysia. It was a “do nothing” sort of holiday with my parents. We didn’t do much travelling around, opting to simply enjoy having no commitments. While there was very heavy rain on some days, we still had some sunny days, perfect for the beach.
Hot off the Press – Dec 21, 2015
Still looking to buy presents for the bibliophiles in your life? You could still run out to your local bookstore to grab this week’s YA releases. Not many to choose from but they’ll be the newest and shiniest under the Christmas tree.

Winter’s release was postponed by many months, leading to lots of sadness all around. As consolation, we received Fairest (#3.5) earlier this year to ease the waiting. Now the question is, was it worth waiting so long for Winter? I say, definitely! For one, it takes a lot of time to write 824 pages. It also takes a very long time to edit these pages to perfection.
Mise-en-scène: Bookmarks
The funny thing about me is that I don’t like using my favourite bookmarks. I still like using nice one but the nicest ones stay tucked away in my drawers. This Korean embroidered bookmark is a prime example. It looks so pretty and I find it too exquisite to use. See, I’m always afraid of losing them. I already lost one bookmark that I particularly loved between the pages of a library book. Sadly, I only realised this when I returned home from dropping my books at the library.

After sharing about the activities, exhibitors and people I met in Vol. 1–3, I realised that I was missing a post that presents to you all the books. Alright, not all the books but definitely one all about books.
