Hey y’all!

Today we have another episode of When Life Gives You Tangerines dropping, as well as Hunter x Hunter!

Maybe some other K-Pop stuff dropping too (we’ll see!) and I’ll be looking at NANA TOUR either today or tomorrow.

Hope your weekends were good, and for those of you who celebrate: Happy Easter! 🐣

For anyone who doesn’t, Happy Sunday or Happy Monday!

What did we get up to over the weekend? 👀 I tried something a little new and produced a LoFi beat 🤣 It’s really barebones and basic as hell but it was cool to try something I’ve wanted to for a while!

Also, does anyone even go to bookstores these days man?

I seem to have such a love/hate relationship with them. I love them because…books! But I hate them because of choice paralysis and I’ll check out a good book just to see that the cover is like MANGLED or the corners are so worn. Not to mention 80% of the “what’s trending” stuff just doesn’t seem to be for me 😭

Anyway!

Hope you can look forward to the vibes y’all!

Here’s to another awesome week! ❤️

Oooh Lok music producer era? 👀 Love you got to try doing some LoFi beat! Also, I love bookstores! It's a happy place for me (but not for my wallet lol). But I do agree about the trending stuff. I think because most of it are YA and romance. I used to read tons of YAs before but I think I've already outgrew that phase. What kind of genre are you into lately? Lately, I've been reading tons of classic books and japanese literature. I'm really, really into Dostoevsky (have you read any of his books?), and I'm also checking out works from Akutagawa, Dazai, and Soseki. In between reading these deep and heavy classics, I read slice of life japanese lit that are comfy and heartwarming. That's how I balance it out

I go to the bookstores... most of the time I just browse and add books to my list of books I want to buy haha... also books are still fairly cheap here - books in Serbian are usually around 8-10 EUR and books in English are around 15-20 EUR (unless of course they are some special editions/bigger hardcovers... but even those more expensive ones are around 30-40 EUR). Back when I was a student I used to wait for Belgrade book fair and then I would buy a bunch of books for lower price as all the publishers would have their stands there and then at some point I needed to stop because I had no more space on my shelves and I had nowhere to put my books (I think I had around 1000-1500 books at this point - a lot of them are my mom's and my grandma's). So I stopped buying books for a while. Now I'm buying them again (and planning to get a new set of bookshelves as soon as I can), but I'm trying hard to buy only things I'm super interested in or something I already read and want to own (nowadays I read quite a bit on kindle/laptop or listen to audiobooks). Well, I digressed lol

Perhaps Aly! 👀 Perhaps even Lok author era 👀 I've been writing short stories along with just dabbling in music to try and feel my way around my creativity again. I have this like fucking INSANE urge to just MAKE something I can't really explain it hahaha. Always been interested especially in tose two mediums, so just trying to see what makes me lose track of time and fully immerse! ALSO agreed on bookstores! Bahahaha the wallet suffers but thankfully here Amazon offsets that cost a lot. Ah yeah, I think the YA and romance net can sometimes just be super saturated so whilst I'm sure there is awesome stuff out there, I'd just never see it I feel/ Lately I'm most into fantasy and also a bit of literary fiction. I like a bit of mystical realism and also even actually just stories that have esoteric themes in general. They're what I'm reading mostly at the moment! Oh! And Japanese light novels. The Monogatari series in particular! How about you? Ooooh classics are always great, and the Japanese literature scene looks so good. I'm starting with Murakami's Kafka on the Shore after I read "Tuesday's Wind-Up Bird" which was a short story...I think? (Inspired his book "Wind Up Bird Chronicle"). Man you have to put me on some cozy Japanese lit. I love that! I read a novel recently called "The Full Moon Coffee Shop" by Mai Mochizuki recently and it's a comfy little read. It's got some astrology / just general slice of life / "letting go" themes included which I loved. Don't know if that's up your alley or not but its a short read! And never apologise for yapping lmao you're literally preaching to the choir here LMAO

So glad to know the creative braincells is working really well for you!! I love that you're into writing too. I'm rooting real hard for Lok author era 🥹🫶🏻 I think I read wide variety of fictions. From fantasy to contemporary, literary to online fanfics (ehem i'm guilty 😆)... but not much on the sci-fi and self help genre. Lately, I'm binge-reading tons of classics (mainly, dostoevsky and agatha christie). My sister is also reading The Full Moon Coffee Shop and she also said it's really nice! I'll read it soon <3 .. If you're in those types of books, I suggest Lonely Castle in the Mirror and Before the Coffee Gets Cold. I haven't read any books from Murakami but I'm interested! Lmk your thoughts on Kafka on the Shore when you're done (if it's okay with you). I might start on that one too. ✨
