Art of war 

“Let your plans be dark and impenetrable as night, and when you move, fall like a thunderbolt.”
― Sun Tzu, The Art of War

It was an excellent book, out of the 13 chapters my favorite is nine grounds,

the book is filled with wisdom and benevolence 

4.4/5

next I’m starting the 7 habits of highly effective people by Stephen Covey

but if DHL drops my order of Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus, I’ll read it that first.

I have finished the 7 habits of highly effective people.

3.3/5 while it does have amazing tips and tricks to lead a better life and I do enjoy self help books, but maybe this month have been tough and I didn’t feel motivated at all by it, actually I feel more hmm down.

but I picked this new book up since my DHL delivery didn’t arrive.

It’s fun and childish but I love it till now

It’s calls the psychology book

 luluandfloyd:

These look like a whole lot of fun. I especially like the "The Psychology Book" which looks quite humorous.

It is ! It makes me feel childish again x)

"Hammurabi was not the first lawgiver—Ur-Nammu had scooped him in this regard—but his laws are certainly the most complete to survive from ancient times, and they show an amazingly wide range of concerns. Penalties for robbery (death), aiding in the escape of a slave (death), kidnapping (death), designing a house that collapses on someone else’s head (death), and the poor performance of an obligation to the king (death) … " - Susan Wise Bauer (The History of the Ancient World)

Death seems to have taken care of just about everything!

Just realized I never updated my May plans, not that they changed, haha.  I am still reading Possession.  About 1/5 of the way through now, and it's picking up!  It took me a while to get into this one.  So hopefully I can finish by the end of the month :)

I fell down the Anchee Min rabbit hole several years back and Empress Orchid was my favorite of her novels.  Red Azalea is worth reading if you are interested in the author's life.  (This reminds me I never got around to the second of her memoirs, though!)

Did you read The Cooked Seed? I checked it out but haven't started it yet. I've been reading alot of Asian American authors lately. Started long ago with Maxine Hong Kingston who I really liked. I'm always open to finding new ones.

Just realised I forgot to update myself xd. 

April read: By The Pricking Of My Thumb by Agatha Christie

Book chosen for May: Postern Of Fate by Agatha Christie.

May Reading : Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte 

- will try to update every monday on my progress 

Jane Eyre is one of my most fave classic books and I've watched many of its adaptations on screen - the miniseries of 2006 was exceptionally well made :) 

I was blocked by one of the club member, but I still can see the person feeds here and the notification shows for me too, for me its okay since I was the one blocked, but the person is not hidden from me properly like it might wanted xD

Thanks for the best share and if you watch more movies and books.
