I have set many goals for 2023 and I believe that none of them are too wild to be comfortably achieved BUT I do need consistency and I thought to myself what better place than tumblr to find help with it š¤Ŗ
I'm starting from zero with this blog and I'll love to find people with which I can share my interests, with also the hope that we can help each other with our new year's resolutions!!
You can call me miazena (or any other variations of this nick), I love listening to music (pop, kpop, indie/alternative, pop punk) and singing, reading (even if I'm in a sort of reading slump) and sometimes writing as well. I recently learned that cooking relaxes me and I probably should look more into it š
For 2023 I'll love in general to read more and to reach a reasonable level of fluency in the languages I'm learning.
My favourite genres are fantasy/sci-fi, historic fiction, thriller/mistery, but I'm open to almost everything. I would love to incorporate more classics, feminist non-fiction, as well as manga/comics/graphic novels/webtoon/webcomics.
Some books I loved (in recent memory) are: the poppy war trilogy, the long way to a small angry planet, kitchen, the left hand of darkness.
Right now I'm learning Spanish and Mandarin and I would like to be B2/C1 and at HSK4 for the end of the year.
If you read this post and think ours resolutions/interests are similar don't hesitate to interact with it, write to me or leave a note! I'll be happy to know new people!
Itās been a while since I did a reading update, here it goes~
My life took too many turns in the last two weeks so I think Iām finally settling into it now. That means Iām in the middle of lots of things and reading takes me a lot longer than it usually did (thatās what happens when work begins, sighs).
Iāve been in and off If We Were Villains for a couple months now, which made me confused about keeping track of characters and whatās going on with them. Iām about one third in (34%) and itās finally picking up. Iām curious, very interested in it, to which side the bomb is going to drop and how bad the consequences will be :B I love the writing! Itās a good surprise, I love the theater plays aspects it has in its prose, incredibly well crafted.
Another book thatās taking me a while to get into is Book of Night by Holly Black. Iām around 50 pages into it and so far Iām not as captivated as I expected. What I like about it are the shadows. I love stories that mess with shadows, the whole concept of magical shadows, how it interferes with peopleās lives⦠thatās the excitement in it for me. The characters for now are very, very meh :/
In the meantime Iām listening to Parachutes by Kelly Yang. As I often do, I knew nothing about it before jumping in, and itās not going where I expected. The life of rich kids is kinda boring most of the time lol I like that it shows different characters and the difficulties they face. Itās done in a double narrative, Claire and Dani, and follows their path in school, their different lifestyles, friends, but also mutual interests. Iām 53% into the audiobook and theyāre not very tight friends yet, which is⦠different. Idk, overall itās a nice thing to listen to and get distracted, not a story Iām suuuuper involved in. Too much money lol
Those are my main focus right now. To the side I have two slow buddy readings going on, In Deeper Waters and Cytonic (which is in a deargod pause, I need time to process whatās going on there o_o)
I hope to get to an Italian book soon, I need to keep practicing my language skills c: Iāll see where that goes soon c;
I finished Great Expectations by Charles Dickens! ⨠. My sister @gooddayprinting and I decided to buddy read classics, and Great Expectations was our first pick! Itās the first Charles Dickens book I read, and Iām not sure how I feel about it. I liked the first half, but after that it started to drag a little I thought š . [SPOILERS] because I just have to ask anyone whoās read it as well - is no one else upset Pip never tells Estella about her parents? I was so upset when they meet at the end, because I was sure it was going to be resolved then, and it wasnāt! It feels like that part of the story was just left unfinished? š¤ .

currently reading circe if anyone wants to buddy read lmk
I started putting tabs in my copy of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, because why not? Yellow is for character moments that establish a particular characteristic about the character or are a moment of character development. Blue is for moments that happen in the book but not the film. Pink is for moments that were in the film. Green is for moments that are funny and made grin readily or laugh. I'm almost done. It will be nice to be able to go back to the funny moments in the book now that I have tabbed them. Can't wait to move on to The Chamber of Secrets. Also, I have to say, the films did Ron dirty and it upsets me. #HarryPotter #books #readingchallenge #reading #readinggoals #bibliophile #booktabs #harrypotterandthesorcerersstone #harrypotterandthephilosophersstone #harrypotterseriesā”ļø #buddyread https://www.instagram.com/p/CQbdINfL_Rl/?utm_medium=tumblr
Welcome to the last discussion with @jkimexploring and myself in March, we are talking about chapters XCVII-CX (97-110) today! I am so excited to and proud of myself for reading this far and you should be too! 1.What did you think about EugĆ©nie and Louiseās departure? . . 2.What are your thoughts on Madame de Villefort and the outcome of Valentineās ? . . 3.What are your thoughts on Monte's view towards Albert and Marseilles? . . . . 1.It is really showing of the time that they needed to escape far away from home and one needed to pretend to be a male for them to have any freedom and live the life they want to live. I will say the catalyst for their departure was kinda hard to watch, but I am glad it happened so she did not get married to a "fake". Her father truly is a selfish man, just making his daughter marry to save his own butt because is bad with money. . . 2.Step mom is a total jerk. I feel so awful for Valentine because she trusted Monte Cristo so much and thought if they listened to him nothing would happen to her. . . 3.I think it is interesting that Monte is actually starting to care what happens to people who are collateral damage. I just kept thinking back to his reaction to the hanging from earlier in the book and how bent on revenge clouded his judgement of others. Now, he seems to have woken up a little bit in a way. He is trying to protect those he felt he has wrong while trying to get his revenge. I will also say that she and her son are both strong characters and I really do wish them the best and I hope that Monte will be able to help them elevate their lives because their misfortune was not their fault in the slightest where a lot of the other characters misfortune was their own doing. . . . #classic #countofmontecristo #alexandredumas #literature #buddyread #amreading #currentlyreading #montecristoreadalong https://www.instagram.com/bookishluna/p/BvmoEbmHbQp/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=10fx18pp9l136
