With a string of new releases coming out at once, I put Absolute Superman's sixth issue aside for a few days to read some other things as well as get outside a little more. I almost forgot about it given I had read almost everything else that had recently been released. Only to discover I still hadn't read it today. This story is one that I've seen many people talk about and consider to be one of their least favourite stories so far within the Absolute stories. Though I've actually rather enjoyed it so far with how it has been unfolding, with some really beautiful art as well as a story that has hardly even focused on the Superman character himself. Rather some of the backstory of the Krypton world and how it had been mined to death, the panic and desperation in its few surviving civilians to escape the planet and move elsewhere. This sent Kal to Earth, and that's where the story had ended previously. But we had also seen some parts of his adult life already, elements of his character that showed sheer anger, a really brutal pursuit of his enemies that left destruction in his path, though people only ever had good things to say about him in the end. A man that had been brutal to those who deserved it, and kind and protective of the innocent. I liked this setup so far, showing mostly scenes of the past and very little of the present.

Growing up, I was a gentle and easygoing kid. I never spoke much outside, unless it was with close friends. It was a different story when I was at home with my parents and siblings. I talked freely with them. Unlike my brother, I did not go out often and always adhered to the rules. However, things changed when I entered high school. My parents decided that boarding school would be best for me, so they opted for it, although I never liked the idea. Things changed differently when I returned from boarding school after my first year. My mom thinks boarding school changed me, while my dad thinks I grew up- puberty got the better of me. Whether it was boarding school or puberty, the fact remains that I changed completely. The sweet and easygoing boy who used to listen with clear eyes and obey instructions now became someone who’d get angry and yell over every slight irritation. I started frowning almost every time- a habit my mom hated most.

his is how I can describe The Little Prince by Antoine De Saint. A book that obviously, depending on the reader's age, will have one or another understanding, which will also vary according to the context, knowledge, feeling and emotion of the moment.

Love is one of the most written and used words in history (I don’t have to do a fact check on that, do I?). As you can see, I just said that without even confirming how true it is, it was just a wide estimation. I said so because a lot of persons are still in doubt if truly that word “love” exists that they had to even make it be either true love, fake love or just love, lol. Having this in mind, I was not really surprised when I saw a book written about love and it just piqued my interest. THE RULES OF LOVE by Richard Templar.

I took a long break after reading Leila S Chudori's novel entitled 'Laut Bercerita'. For me, it is very difficult to continue reading books with heavy topics like Leila's books. I read several genres before finally deciding to continue with Leila S Chudori's fairy tale. This book still has the same theme as 'Laut Bercerita' which takes place during the New Order era. If in the book 'My Name is the Sea' it takes place around 1965, in the book 'Pulang' Leila takes the story of the 1998 riots from the perspective of people who lived during the terrifying era of 1965. What a brilliant! Leila combines two similar stories in one book and I really like the way she tells the story.

Funny how the title alone already had me intrigued. Only Big Bumbum Matters Tomorrow? Talk about clickbait that hooks. But when I actually dived into the book by Damilare Kuku, I realized this wasn’t just another dramatic title, it’s a full-on mirror reflecting everything about femininity and body dysmorphia.

Hello fellow readers! Today I would like to tell you about those books that I've been putting off reading for a long time and I know I'm going to love them because they contain everything I like. This year I decided to read the pending ones and I've already started with some of them, the last review I uploaded is of a book I wanted to read for a long time and here I bring you 3 other options that I'm sure you know because they are the books of the moment more or less.
