Is 915am too early for a chocolate chip cookie? Maybe. But I was up since four hours ago so I reckon it qualifies for a mid-morning snack . . This is my current audiobook. Not really by choice as the library only had the audiobook of this, oddly, the first two books in the trilogy has ebook versions! Anyway, I found it rather interesting to learn that I had been pronouncing (in my head) some of the characters’ names wrongly. So it was great to be able to hear it right. At first I couldn’t get used to the narrator but I’ve grown fond of his calming presence in my ears and the little lilts he puts into the voices of certain characters. I’ve only recently begun listening to fiction audiobooks and I still sometimes find myself missing out on a few moments when distracted for a bit - then wishing I had the book to follow along with! Do you like listening to fiction audiobooks? . . #brandonsanderson #audiobook #audiobookstagram #mistborntrilogy #chocolatechipcookies #coffeeandbooks @brandsanderson #readersofinstagram #reallifereading📚 #bookstagrammer #bookstagram #bibliophile #bookrecommendations #amreading #booknerd #books #booklover #reallifereading #readthis #readallday #reallifereadathon #keepcalmreadmorebooksinthetimeofcovid19 #theheroofages #cookiestagram

It has been a while since I’ve posted! So many excuses to make but I shall spare you them. It is Friday after all and last night I started on Sorcery & Cecelia, a book I first heard of from the Reading the End podcast . . I seem to be escaping into fantasy, science fiction, worlds so different from ours. My other read is Liu Cixin’s Three-Body Problem which is more tricky to understand than my tired brain could last night. And my previous read was Trail of Lightning by @rebeccaroanhorse which I really enjoyed and hopefully will muster the willpower to write about (also thanks for to @basiclandcave for the recommendation) . . Have you been escaping into other worlds too? Or have you been drawn to a certain genre in these strange times? . . #readersofinstagram #reallifereading📚 #bookstagrammer #bookstagram #bibliophile #bookrecommendations #amreading #booknerd #books #booklover #reallifereading #readthis #readallday #reallifereadathon #keepcalmreadmorebooksinthetimeofcovid19 #sorceryandcecelia #patriciacwrede

I wiped the flour off my hands and quickly grabbed my phone to take a photo of this #reallifereading moment . . The kids were on their break and were scootering around in the backyard, otherwise I wouldn’t be listening to this audiobook without headphones on as it has a surprising number of F words . . This is my Thursday morning, making some tangzhong rolls and a loaf of bread too. I’m going to try out pork floss buns, which is a favorite pastry in Singapore. If you’ve never had tangzhong bread before, it’s super soft and lasts well because of a roux (cooked flour and milk) added in. I use recipes from @christinesrecipes (for the tangzhong dough) and @whattocooktoday (for the pork floss topping) . . I started the bread making process at 7am, making the roux and letting it cool. And in between working with their kids on their schoolwork . . How is your week going? . . #breadmaking #tangzhongbread #franklyinlove @davidoftheyoon #audiobookstagram #audiobooks #readersofinstagram #reallifereading📚 #bookstagrammer #bookstagram #bibliophile #bookrecommendations #amreading #booknerd #books #booklover #reallifereading #readthis #readallday #reallifereadathon #keepcalmreadmorebooksinthetimeofcovid19

A Month of Faves
3 Comments

A Month of Faves is hosted by Andi, Tanya and Tamara

Tanya’s post on fave book to movie or TV series made me want to try a few new (to me) shows

From Kailana’s How We Read post, I learnt that Mira Grant writes under the name Seanan McGuire sometimes

I love how Tamara discovered her green thumbs this year!

Also I discovered Howling Frog Books, a new-to-me blog!

Seanan McGuire writes a really famous couple series. I just read the one novella under that pen name, but hoping to check out more!
