goodreads for the avid readers ^^ coool

 Lets meet my new friend, goodreads .

Assalamualaikum and a very good evening ! (22.47 pm) Huu.



I was struggling to focus so I think I just need some time to have fun.
(Read : Surfing internet)

and guess what I found.
My new love : goodreads :)



I'm pretty much sure that the apps is popular enough among avid readers.
Just now, when I'm checking out goodreads on Fb, 

I found out that there are like 9 to 10 of my friends using this. 
(and probably they sign in using Fb account so that it is stated  there)

Another way to say this is that maybe there are a lot more people who currently diving into goodreads to ' Meet their next favourite book'.

(the website tagline is 'Meet your next favourite book.') 
I really love it. It strucks right through you. *drama queen* ;)


Curious to meet my new favourite. 



I have certain preference when it comes to choose a book.
This start not long ago.

As far as I remember I used to read anything that I feel like it.

But nowadays, I may be a little bit picky. Hee.
The book must be interesting enough, nice cover, not too thick, blaa blaa..

( I seldom pick random book nowadays)

With not much pastime that I have right now, I become lazy to read.
This syndrome have its on and off season btw. 

*humans are dynamics*


However, Alhamdulillah 

I still have the enthusiasm,
checking what book is good and whats not from time to time.

and not to forget, the updates on my favourite authors. 
(I don't want to miss a chance checking on what kind of story they wrote in the book they just released )

But still picky . Huu.

When I read something, even if I read it and reach the ending ...

in between
I may jump at certain parts or just read speedily.

but if the book really capture me, my heart and I just sink into the story and 
at that very moment don't ever call my name. I won't even budge. Huu.


I hate it and love it at the same time.
Reading can be another awesome escapism other than travelling and etc.
It put me in a vacation mode flying far away from the reality.
(books tell us the story of people we never be)


That is why I love it.
but I hate it for the way it stole my focus, deviating it from the core thing that I need to face in front of me.


Sometime a book is doing you a favor.
It linked you to another good book,
and your reading experience is branching just like this tree
An expanding world of thoughts.

Remember life is all about choices.
Choose carefully and you still can keep doing what you love with your heart at ease.
If only you made the right choice.
May Allah guide us all along.



*shall join goodreads later. (the next thing in my summer to do list)

** should strive hard and study well. next paper on 17th of June.
*** they are flying to Sydney tonight for Big bro graduation day. 
Huaaa, wanna come along.  :(



mar d
believe in the power of the present to colour your future
take the past as the values that will define you (lessons that you learnt)
