Bahas Buku: “The Maid” oleh Nita Prose
Akhir-akhir ini, selera saya sedang bergeser ke murder mystery. Ya sebenernya memang ini genre favorit sih, tapi rasa-rasanya makin banyak seri murder mystery di luar sana, dan saya sama sekali ga keberatan, hahah.

Book Review: “The Cat who Solved Three Murders” by L T Shearer
The cat’s name is Conrad and he can talk. I admit, I was caught off-guard when the dialogue started.

I was lurking on my colleagues’ blog when I noticed Brezo’s post: The Met: Chroma (I highly recommend you to read it!) when she visited The MET’s Chroma exhibition. Ancient Greek and Roman sculpture was once colorful, vibrantly painted and richly adorned with detailed ornamentation.

Building book-reading habit
I like reading, but I personally feel something has been lacking lately on my reading habit. Recently, I have been reading self-help/motivational book, and my current two favorites are Ryder Carroll’s “The Bullet Journal Method” and James Clear’s “Atomic Habit”. You might notice those two books actually connected in some ways. “The Bullet Journal Method”… Continue reading
