Hi, Ami. What app do you use to read books together with your friend? If you're willing to share and if my question makes any sense... I'm referring to your last post, by the way.
hi :-) well for buddy-read, i donāt really use any shared app.. i just keep updating and have a discussion on dms with my buddies! but i think you could try storygraph because i saw a lot of people use that, they can track each otherās progress & live updates!
but referring my last post, for me.. i read the employees with my libby app! hope this answering your question :-)
Hey, Ami. I tried replying to your FCV a few days back, sadly my account got ghost-banned. Mind if we become friends? Iām too chicken to knock on your DMs, so Iām taking the long way around and asking here anonymously instead.
hiiii there, so sorry to hear that⦠(to what happened with your account) but i donāt mind at all please shoot me a follow :-) and no need to be scared i donāt bite <i promise> thanks for reaching me out tho!
Ami, do you have any book from a local author that you like...? (I'm curious) š§
what a great question because i donāt really read them⦠but my last read from the local author is malam terakhir by leila s. chudori <i like it a lot actually.. it was great> do you have recommendations maybe? from the local authors? :o
aaammi, my love. pretty sure i'm in a reading slump since iāve lost all spark to read, but i don't want to leave it for too long or i'll literally BRAINROT. can you give me some light and exciting book recommendations? any topic is fine, i just desperately wanna read again, huhu. t___t
gabbbieee.. sure sure! i do have some for you:
1.) kitchen by banana yoshimoto
2.) ms. ice sandwhich by mieko kawakami
3.) the ones who walk away from omelas by ursula k. le guin
4.) mr salary by sally rooney
5.) giovanniās room by james baldwin
everything is under 200 pages! when i was i my reading slump i also tried to read some graphic novels and it helps a lot :-) &&&& i also have some threads of short books recommendations, iāll share it on dms later :-) happyyyy readingg bb
Ami, boleh tau apa aja library card-nya buat libby nggak?
boleeeh! i would loved to share but can you dm me? aku share privately aja yaap if you donāt mind :-)
Ami gimana cara untuk damai dgn diri sendiri ya terutama masalah yg udh lampau kek bertahun2 tapi kadang kita udah let it go but sometimes and somethimgs still weighing us...
my dear friend.. i think making peace with yourself isn't about never feeling hurt by the past again because there will be moments when old wounds resurface and that is completely okay. kadang kita udah benar-benar let it go tapi pasti ada hal-hal yang tetap ninggalin bekas. yang penting sekarang itu bukan lagi berusaha menghapus masa lalunya, tapi belajar hidup berdampingan sama hal tersebut tanpa terus menyalahkan diri sendiri :-)
Is there a book you didn't/couldn't finish reading? If so, what was it and why?
omg.. i actually do have one. i didnāt finish it (yet) because i feel like i need a break.. i donāt think i am mentally prepared for it.. maybe iām way too scared but i donāt know i just kept holding back. so itās not like i dnf-ed but iām pausing it⦠oh and the book is a little life by hanya yanagihara :-)
Missy Ami-mazing, may I know what is your kind of comfort books? And also, is there anything interesting happened today? <3
my beloved chio! ami-mazing is the cutemaxxinggg nickname (i almost cried). okay so i do have one in my mind and itās ms. ice sandwich from mieko kawakami :_] itās just so endearing⦠i donāt really talk about them but you should check them out! also itās very short.. they only have like 100 pages. anyway nothing really interesting but i finally finished martyr! which ended up with a 5 stars from me. so so good⦠iād definitely get the hype :3
Whatās your top 4 books of all time?
aaaaa itās soooo hard to choose because i probably change my top 4 regularly. but for now i would say:
1.) almond by sohn won-pyung
2.) and then there were none by agatha christie
3.) strange buildings by uketsu
4.) heaven by mieko kawakami
Ami, do you have a favorite childrenās book? I ask this for my little sister.
whaaaat a cutie! i actually do :-) have you ever heard of āhattie harmonyā? the author is elizabeth olsen! itās about a little worry detective cat (extremely cute). the books are actually interesting and not boring at all.. and the animations are very very cute! i think should check that one out :-)
