Saturday Spotlight @ Bookworming in the 21st Century
Hey guys, the lovely Kristen at Bookworming in the 21st Century has kindly featured my blog in her weekly Saturday Spotlight! I talk a bit about my interest in books and blogging, so check it out if you're interested =)
Also, I've set up a post on my layouts site that details what features a basic layout (the prize for those who chose custom layout as their prize on my 50 followers contest) will include. Check it out here! I will also put all announcements and important changes on my blog in the "My Giveaways & Announcements" section up there ↑
I finally finished my pre-break midterms (still have one post-break) and I'm planning to have a reading marathon with Ah Yuan over the next week, so hopefully there will be more reviews posted soon =D
Happy Valentines and Chinese New Years!

my Gintama review got featured...
...on a Japanese news site/forum called Searchina!
The title of the article is 『銀魂』の真のテーマは今日の社会問題か, which translates roughly to "Are Gintama's real themes the issues of modern society?"
From my basic-level Japanese, I can tell that most of it was a translation of my thoughts on the manga, including the points on world issues and how the manga can make you think if you let it.
Got a ton of Japanese visitors from that post, and I'm incredibly flattered, so thank you!
