\"\"<\/a>Ving recently bought some new books from Prologue’s sale! Let me share them with you…<\/p>\n

Finally owned my first illustration book from \u5e7e\u7c73<\/strong> (Jimmy Liao, Taiwanese)!
\nI have always liked his child-like drawings, which actually kind of give me a calm feeling whenever I see them.
\nShall slowly collect the rest of the illustration books which he had published.
\n\"\"<\/a>I have waited for long for the movie to be out, which it will finally be come end August.
\nBefore the show which I had highly anticipated started screening, here are 2 books from the movie to keep me occupied for the time being!
\n(The ‘book’ in the second image is more of like a postcards collection for the movie.)
\n\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>I super love the textured cover of this book!! Couldn’t resist from getting it.
\nIt is a dark book though haha… (I am not called Dark Lord for nothing. *evil laughter*)
\n\"\"<\/a>This series written by Haruki Murakami<\/strong> was not newly bought though.
\nBeing not strong in my Japanese, I got the Mandarin-translated ones instead.
\nI usually prefer Japanese novels being translated into Mandarin to English, because I can still imagine a strong Japanese feel to the writings.
\nEnglish-translated ones kind of lose this Japanese feel which I will look for in such books, and simply became “English style” instead.
\nHaving said that, I have only read Book 1 of this 1Q84<\/strong> series.
\nIt took me a rather long time to finish it, as it was so intense I could not read past a certain number of pages each time.
\nTill now I still have yet to get started on Book 2.
\nI wonder when I will. >.<”
\n\"\"<\/a>Have you read any books lately? Do start on one if you have not.
\nIt is therapeutic!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
