Books of 2023
I was pleased to read lots of books this year! I greatly enjoyed the majority of these - the only one I wouldn't really recommend was Rated M for Mature - and the favourites are bolded. There were quite a lot of others that I didn't end up finishing, which were mostly memoirs of people who I felt interested in but didn't find their writing very compelling, and some second-world fantasy novels that didn't grab me. Most of this year's reading was historical, contemporary, memoirs, or horror: it was only towards the end of the year that I got some fantasy in there, which is funny as I've always thought of myself as a big fantasy fan - if anyone has any queer non-YA fantasy recommendations, I'd love to have them. The most recent new-to-me fantasy I loved was The Sacred Dark series by May Peterson, if that helps!
I was really happy to read Alison Rumfitt, Torrey Peters, Maya Deane, Lee Mandelo, EE Ottoman, and Brandon Taylor for the first time in particular, and look forward to reading more of them in the future; Ducks by Kate Beaton hit hard and stuck with me; Passion and Play is a massively illuminating read for anyone interested in writing intimate scenes in games and made me feel a ton more confident and intentional in doing so; I loved returning to and crying over old favourites Elizabeth Wein and Terry Pratchett after a very long time.

Thoughts:
Really thinking that 2022 is the year of nonfiction for me. I’ve read so many more nonfiction reads that have been more impactful and memorable for me than fiction. Cannot recommend Dinners with Ruth (yes, there’s lots of good insight in here about RBG, but it’s really the power of friendship that will tug at your heart) and What Doesn’t Kill You (such a powerful memoir about living with chronic illness and what the newly diagnosed should do) enough. 
Goodreads Goal: 346/350

Books of 2023
I realised I've read way more books this year than I thought, so here they all are because I like making lists.
Favourites starred. I've had a good run so far for books I've enjoyed this year. The only one I wouldn't really recommend is Rated M for Mature - the essays were hit and miss and some just weren't accurate. Several of the below are pretty upsetting and some are deeply harrowing so this is very much not a list of casual recommendations, more just indulging myself by making a list. Did you enjoy any of these?

A Perfect Spy - John le Carré
Felix Ever After - Kacen Callender

Peringkat Kunjungan Turis Asing yang Datang ke Negara di Asia Tenggara
LiputanViral  --  Sebuah perusahaan analisis bernama GlobalData memperkirakan bila negara di kawasan ASEAN akan terus mengalami peningkatan kunjungan wisatawan sebesar 4,72 persen. Tercatat pada 2018, negara-negara di kawasan ini berhasil mendatangkan 129,2 juta pengunjung dan diperkirakan akan naik menjadi 155,4 juta untuk tahun 2022. Lebih lanjut, GlobalData juga membuat laporan terbarunya bertajuk Tourism Destination Market Insights: ASEAN, dan menemukan jika kenaikan jumlah wisatawan di Asia Tenggara terjadi karena banyak pelancong yang senang dengan petualangan. Hal ini juga didukung dengan banyaknya maskapai berbiaya murah sehingga membuat perjalanan lebih mudah.
Tumblr media
Untuk lebih jelasnya, berikut daftar kunjungan wisatawan asing yang masuk ke negara-negara di Asia seperti dilansir dari Good News From Southeast Asia: Thailand dengan 38,3 juta wisatawan asing Malaysia dengan 25,8 juta wisatawan asing Singapura dengan 18,5 juta wisatawan asing Indonesia dengan 15,8 juta wisatawan asing Vietnam dengan 15,4 juta wisatawan asing Filipina dengan 7,1 juta wisatawan asing Kamboja dengan 6,2 juta wisatawan asing Laos dengan 4,1 juta wisatawan asing Myanmar dengan 3,6 juta wisatawan asing Brunei dengan 1,4 juta wisatawan asing https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu_SpbBnxXP/?utm_source=ig_embed GlobalData juga mengindikasikan bila arus wisatawan akan sangat bermanfaat bagi negara-negara di kawasan Asia. Namun, pariwisata yang berlebihan juga harus menjadi perhatian utama pemerintah dan perusahaan perjalanan. Sebagai contoh, penutupan Maya Bay di Thailand karena kunjungan wisatawan yang tidak dibatasi. Atau kasus di Jepang yang tengah dibuat frustasi karena wisatawan asing besikap tak sopan saat berkunjung ke negaranya. "Ketika jumlah pengunjung meningkat, mereka perlu 'dialihkan' untuk menghindari 'punumpukan' di kawasan wisata populer," kata Laura Beaton, analis perjalanan dan pariwisata di GlobalData. "Sudah ada langkah positif ke arah ini di beberapa negara dan daerah yang kurang populer harus dapat memanfaatkan ini," pungkasnya. Read the full article

Quotes for Thursday May 25,2017
Being different quotes Chidinma Obietikponah Always show the you in you that makes you the you that you are.

M. Scott Peck  Share our similarities, celebrate our differences. Cecil Beaton Be daring, be different, be impractical, be anything that will assert integrity of purpose and imaginative vision against the play-it-safers, the creatures of the commonplace, the slaves of the ordinary. Ralph Waldo Emerson  We boil at different degrees. Norman Vincent Peale  Change yourself and your work will seem different. Meredith West If you want to stand out, don't be different; be outstanding. ~~~ Courage quotes Every man has his own courage, and is betrayed because he seeks in himself the courage of other persons.  ~Ralph Waldo Emerson Every day you either see a scar or courage.  Where you dwell will define your struggle.  ~Dodinsky,www.dodinsky.com Courage is a love affair with the unknown. ~Osho Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.  ~Winston Churchill Courage doesn't always roar.  Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says I'll try again tomorrow.  ~Mary Anne Radmacher It is curious—curious that physical courage should be so common in the world, and moral courage so rare. ~Mark Twain People are made of flesh and blood and a miracle fibre called courage.  ~Mignon McLaughlin, The Neurotic's Notebook, 1960 Sometimes even to live is an act of courage.  ~Lucius Annaeus Seneca, Letters to Lucilius ~~~ Dream quotes Dreams are the touchstones of our character.--Henry David Thoreau Dreams get you into the future and add excitement to the present.-Robert Conklin Dreams come in a size too big so that we may grow into them.--Josie Bisset Dreams do come true, if we only wish hard enough, You can have anything in life if you will sacrifice everything else for it.--Sir James M.

Jackson Brown  ~~~ Hope quotes Hope is a talent like any other.--Storm Jameson Hope is a vigorous principle ... it sets the head and heart to work, and animates a man to do his utmost.--Jeremy Collier Hope is a waking dream.--Aristotle Hope is generally a wrong guide, though it is good company along the way.--George Saville Hope is like a road in the country: there was never a road, but when many people walk on it, the road comes into existence.--Lin Yutang Hope is love's happiness, but not its life.--Letitia E. Landon Hope is not a granted wish or a favor performed; no it is far greater than that. It is a zany, unpredictable dependence on a God who loves to surprise us out of our socks.--Max Lucado (God Came Near) Hope...is the companion of power, and the mother of success; for who so hopes has within him the gift of miracles.--Samuel Smiles ~~ Friendship quotes Friendship is like money, easier made than kept.--Samuel Butler Friendship is the golden thread that ties the heart of all the world.--John Evelyn Friendship is the only cement that will ever hold the world together.--Woodrow Wilson Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art...it has no survival value; rather, it is one of those things that give value to survival.--C. S. Lewis Friendship of a kind that cannot easily be reversed tomorrow must have its roots in common interests and shared beliefs.--Barbara Tuchman Friendships multiply joys and divide grief.--Thomas Fuller The greatest sweetener of human life is Friendship.

Quotes for Friday February 10,2017 prayer quotes A prayer couched in the words of the soul, is far more powerful than any ritual. -Paulo Coelho Don't forget to pray today because God did not forget to wake you up this morning. -Oswald Chambers Do not pray for an easy life, pray for the strength to endure a difficult one. -Bruce Lee In the end, the number of prayers we say may contribute to our happiness, but the number of prayers we answer may be of even greater importance. -Dieter F.
