Liely's Guilty Pleasures

Hey there guys! I'm back for the December post. I'm in a really weird mopey mood lately and I need some things to do to take off the burden of my mind.           So, we're going to talk about book covers tonight and my favourites among them.          If you haven't known this about me, most of the books I read are in digital form. One is because I can read them in the dark and it's more accessible than trying to shove your books down your bag whenever you're going anywhere. Second, I rarely buy new books that I haven't read yet. I would normally read the book digitally (in ebook files) and then if I found myself loving them, I would buy the physical book.           Hence, I rarely care about how the books looked physically and their condition. But that doesn't mean I don't have a favourite. Now, let's talk about books.           The first book or series in which the covers attract...

       Hello there. We're back with Books Tags post because guess what, I'm fucking depressed again. I just finished a memoir about self-harm and I'm still triggered. Plus, you don't want to know what got myself butthurt two days ago. I spent the whole day yesterday sleeping in and not talking to anyone. Not that I'm talking right now.         Anyhow, I don't want to talk about them. I'm still freaking sad.          Let's get on with the tag! This tag is known as the BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY BOOK TAG. If you don't know about me yet (I haven't talked about it before), I am a huge Queen's fan. Like before BEFORE the movie came out. I grew up with their song before and it never clicked with me but one fateful day, I heard 'Don't Stop Me Now' and I felt so cheery and uplifted. That was the song that made me happy when I got down. Truly, Queen's song saved my life during my studying years.        And now, fin...

        Hi there guys. I've been brewing my feelings for a couple of days now and I still got nowhere. I didn't know where it got wrong? Was it my fault for expecting too much or was it my family really shitty in this case? Or was it both? But I partly knew the answer to that since I was hugely to blame. I expected too much.        It was my convocation day a.k.a. my graduation day on November 3rd. Months prior to this, I had expected so much. I would get a proper convocation day. My parents would be there and we would celebrate each other. I would get a family photograph with my holding my degree. We would spend the whole weekend there in JB. We would go to the Convocation Festival and spend a whole lot of money there. We would just have great fun there. I would finally feel celebrated.        No. That's not what happened. Stupid idiot me. Who did I think my family was? They were not a perfect family. I am not perfect. So ...

           Hello there guys. It's time for Halloween book tag! I know, I don't celebrate Halloween but this kind of fun thing to do. You know, tags. Plus, I'm depressed as fuck and posting mindless things is the only thing I could do to calm myself down before I do some stupid shits.           So, yeah! Fun stuffs. Let's get on with it. 1. Carving pumpkin - what book would you carve up and light on fire?             Gabriel Inferno by Sylvain Reynard . One word to describe the book. PRETENTIOUS. OMG. If I read one more sentence about 'frightened rabbit' or all these stupid name/brand droppings, I would seriously be considering burning this book in a burning pyre. I have no idea how people equate this to Fifty Shades. IT DOES NOT COMPARE TO FIFTY! 2. Trick or treat - what character is a treat, what character is a trick? Trick character for me would be Poppy Hathaway from Tempt Me ...

Happy November guys! I'm having just a bad week again (what's new, right?), so I need a distraction right now. Making lists out of things made me calm down. Hence, what I'm going to be doing today.           If you didn't follow me or know anything about me, I'm a huge romance book nerd. I devoured romance like nothing else. For someone who doesn't believe in romance anymore (yup, I'm in romance-is-dead phase), I just love reading romance and cheesy non-believable story. Yup. Yup.           Anyhow, let's get on with the list! 1. Magic Triumphs (Kate Daniels #10) by Ilona Andrews Mercenary Kate Daniels must risk all to protect everything she holds dear in this epic, can't-miss entry in the thrilling #1 New York Times bestselling urban-fantasy series. Kate has come a long way from her origins as a loner taking care of paranormal problems in post-Shift Atlanta. She's made friends and enemies. She's found love and start...

Hey guys, I'm having a bad week and can't focus on a damn book. So, let's do Books Tags. A lot of them. Starting with Book Titles Tag! BOOK TITLES TAG 1. Title that's the story of your life. I would say Walking Disaster by Jamie McGuire (side note: I DNFed the book though but LOVE Beautiful Disaster.). Yup. I am a walking disaster or catastrophe in making. 2. Title that describes your perfect weekend In Bed with a Highlander by Maya Banks. Because you know... in bed, we can do a lot of fun stuffs... like jumping! Or chess! Or reading about highlanders. But if things got really boring.... I'll let you fill out the blanks.

Hi, I'm back. I think 2019 would be the year I will write more. After June, I'll be an official graduate, so probably I'm gonna have a lot of time in my hand. I'm scared at the prospect of having to go to work now.          Anyway, I want to talk about kids. Do you guys want to have many kids? Or just one? Or two of each? I have met some people who don't want to have many kids because they scared that they will not be able to love all of them equally. For myself, I would want as many kids as I want. Growing up with two brothers and a sister, I still feel like having 4 kids are not enough if that makes any sense. If possible, I want more than 4 kids. Maybe 6?         Here's why. My sister is 16 years older than me. When I was growing up, she was already married and living away from home (she got married when she was 19). My older brother is 10 years older than me. When I was growing up, he was a jerk of a teen. OMG. You have no idea what a...

So what this post will be about is that the top book boyfriend I could think of when you read romance and since romance is like my niche, so I thought this would make a good post. I got this idea from a Book Boyfriends' video by Amanda Venture a.k.a. The Naughty Librarian. Check out her videos on Youtube guys. She's good!           So, let's start, shall we? 1. Alpha male If you don't know what an alpha male means, I guess it's a lost cause for you. Just kidding. I'm kidding! Hmm... this is quite hard. I read a lot of alpha male books. Damn. So many to choose from. To be fair, I'll choose one that will not be qualified for the categories below. My BBF would be Roarke from In Death series by J.D. Robb . I love him to death. I thought he would be that douchey hero and be all possessive and demanding hero but no. You can be an alpha male and yet control your possessiveness, you know. He has faith in Eve and knows his boundary. I need more hero like t...
