Hello Darlings! I haven’t been here for a while and certainly missed much. But I have not stopped reading! To catch you up on my life: I started working at a second-hand clothes shop last February and between my new obligations and the reading slump at the time I just had no time, no energy, and no inspiration to blog. I’ve bought lots of cute and good quality clothes though! On the cheap! Still, working in retail is not my favourite thing in the world, especially with the whole pandemic going on. Clients can be pretty annoying and it just wasn’t meant to be. I’m ending this adventure this mon ..read more

Hello Darlings! So, I’ve been slacking off with books this year but I have some more Asian dramas for you instead! To be honest, most of those I finished a long time ago and it sat in my drafts for a while waiting for me to update Pearl Next Door and Gaya Sa Pelikula sections but pt. 3 hopefully will be sooner? I have half of it already! Check out pt. 1 here: E’S WATCHING — Queer Asian Dramas Still 2gether 7/10 | Thailand | 5 eps | 2020 College life | Fake Relationship | Music Club LGBTQ+ rep: bi/gay men my drama list | ep 1 Summary: This is a year after the sequel to 2gether The Series a ..read more

Hello Darlings! It’s been a while since I was here and I still won’t be updating as often as I used to most probably but I wanted to sum up this hell of a year at least. Sorry for disappearing on you for so long but blogging’s not on my mind lately and, as you will see, I had a huge reading slump in October and November so it’s not like I had much content to share anyway. I think I failed all my challenges so I’m not gonna talk about them. This is not the year for putting yourself down. This post is pretty long but most of it is pictures so, please, bear with me. Also! Happy New Year! So, fi ..read more

Hello Darlings! How was your week? I started some Asian dramas and I’m having fun with them! Will share recs when I’ll have enough for a post. Also! This is my 200th post! I feel like I just started blogging — how the time flies by! Sadly though, I’m not feeling super excited about blogging lately and I want to focus on some other things in my life so I made a decision that for the rest of October I will only post once a week and those will be my #5OnMyTBR posts. I’ll try to answer your comments (I know I’m behind and I’m sorry!) and blog hop from time to time but I need a break. I’m not readi ..read more

Hello Darlings! I’m back with Waiting on Wednesday! I was supposed to post WLW Wednesday today but I won’t embarass myself with the fact that I’ve read only one sapphic book in the span of two weeks and I didn’t even like it much so have this instead! This is one of the 2021 releases I’ve been eyeing lately and honesltly, I can’t wait! Today’s pick is a book… a romantic m/m arranged marriage space opera with a political intrigue Can you guess? Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme created by Breaking the Spine that spotlights upcoming releases. Title: Winter’s Orbit Author:&nb ..read more
