I can't believe that I have been blogging for ten years and have produced more than 650 over posts over the years.  I guess that works out to an average of 65 posts per year.

I am not very good and commercialising this blog.  At one point, I was pretty keen to explore how. However, it never was my priority and for now, I am happy to just read and post and keep a record of what I read and share my thoughts on what I read.

 Anyway, I am just happy to have this platform to pen down my thoughts of books that I read. It also serves the purpose for me to keep track of how many books I read, how many books I bought for the year (been keeping track in recent years. Didn't do much of that previously)  It's also useful when I wasn't sure if I have bought or read a book before and I can just check from this blog.

 Should I do a vlog next?  Sound like that's what I should evolve to but I don't think I would have the time and energy to do a good job. 

 Thank you for those who drop by to read what I wrote.  I am humbly honored and extremely grateful that you choose to swing by.  Can I request that you leave a comment on this post as a present to me? hahah...no obligation though.

 Anyway, thank you for joining me in this journey of blogging and here's to your good health and also to many, many more years of blogging.

 Much love to everyone.

But time and again, I find myself revisiting that time The time when I thought I’ve loved and lost I was twenty four and he was thirty one I was young and naïve and he was the man of the world I was intrigued by him, he was captivated by me The girl who drank Jack Daniels and knew about war aircrafts  and read about espionages. He introduced me to stuff unknown to me and taught me golf and how to have confidence in myself The girl
