I’m a nerd

I’m back to being the nerd I was during my childhood and teenage years.

Mostly because I moved house and finally have a wonderful built-in shelf that’s large enough to display all my precious books. And also because I joined Buzzfeed’s Facebook book club which really gets me in the mood to read. And not forgetting how glorious the new Yishun Library is (all those pristine new books!!!)

I feel like I’ve outgrown the romance genre because I’m now a cynic instead of the dreamy, idealistic, hopeless romantic that I used to be. Oh, life. Right now I’m super addicted to whodunit slashers and thrillers where couples screw each other over…

One of friends on Goodreads told me this and I realised she’s not wrong. If you wanna be more precise, I would say I’m most interested in books with domestic abuse and infidelity. What can I say, those topics intrigue me.

Reading is pretty much all I do in my free time now. I’m so lazy to update my blog or do anything else when I can just light my scented candle and slouch in bed with a book. Uninterrupted and tranquil. Such a simple pleasure.

Though I do wish I know someone in real life who’s as enthusiastic about books or reads as much so that I have someone to talk to about it. Sigh.
