I’ve got to say it again: exploring the local market is absolutely my favorite part of any adventure! There’s just something exhilarating about diving into the vibrant atmosphere, discovering unique treasures, and experiencing the culture up close.

Just added three new books converted from Calibre—showing why having an ebook device can be very handy! So many free titles to explore.

I still buy physical copies for the collection if I really love one—because some books deserve to be displayed like trophies 🤏🏆

A photo of a Kindle e-reader lying on a light wooden surface. The screen shows the Kindle library list view with a “Search Kindle” bar at the top. The time reads 20:19 and the battery shows 85%. Several book covers and titles are visible, including “Emperor of the Seas” by Jack Weatherford with a progress bar showing 53% read, plus three items marked New: “Genghis Khan and the Quest for God” (Jack Weatherford), “Majapahit” (Herald van der Linde), and “The Secret History of the Mongol Queens” (Jack Weatherford).

This also happened to me. My dreams are so vivid and wild since I am back up from the reading slump. Who else have the same experience?

#booksky #dreaming
Screenshot of a Reddit post on r/books (by “Leticia_the_bookworm,” 2y ago) titled “I noticed I’m dreaming more now that I’m reading more often.” The post says they’ve been reading much more during college break and now remember dreams almost every night—often featuring scenes from what they’re reading—despite sleeping well, and asks if there’s science behind it.

I listened to 4 hours of Jack Weatherford's podcast because I love his work. His vivid stories about the Mongol Empire have inspired some of my vivid dreams about being in the war and on the steppe. It’s strange, but I really enjoy it! 😮‍💨🫠

I wake up and immediately continue reading the book.

It’s a long weekend in Japan, but someone called “Myself” doesn’t get to enjoy it 🤷🏻‍♀️😭

Kerja muluuuu, cuma bedanya hari ini WFH-nya di Nikko ❄️

Suhunya lebih dingin dari Tokyo. Bikin mager parah, entah udah berapa gelas kopi biar kebuka nih biji mata 👀🙃☕️💻

Long weekend in Japan: off to the family house in Utsunomiya, doing my gentle duty as a ‘performative reader’ on the train. LOL! 🚆 📚

#history #china #booksky
Me sitting on a train seat with one leg crossed over the other, wearing green trousers, white socks, and brown shoes. A Kindle rests on their lap, displaying the cover of the book Emperor of the Seas: Kublai Khan and the Making of China by Jack Weatherford, framed by a decorative dragon and ship illustration. Close-up of a Kindle e-reader held upright in front of a train window. The screen shows a history book page about Chinese industrialization and paddlewheel boats, with the time ‘13:43’ at the top. Outside the window, the cityscape and tracks are bright and blurred, suggesting the train is moving.

This video is excellent! When he mentioned "Bluesky" as a reference, I knew I had to follow him here, and I believe others do too.

This post brought back memories of my last cinnamon roll in Ubud, Bali, which I loved.

I can’t remember how many I had during my visit last month. This place deserves support so I can enjoy it again when I return.

BTW— Fuji film colours never disappoint; today’s snaps are from my walk around home, chasing autumn foliage that already feels like it’s disappearing too fast this year 🥲🍂

Weekend update: setelah jalan-jalan seharian, memutuskan untuk mengakhiri hari dengan romanticising my Saturday di fave matcha shop dekat rumah — snacking on matcha soft cream and being soft-serve-level happy 🍦✨
Close-up of a hand holding a tall waffle cone filled with swirled green matcha soft serve, a small clear spoon tucked into the side, with the warm, slightly blurred interior of a shop in the background. Sign outside a shop that reads “TEA & SWEETS” with Japanese text above and pictures of green tea soft serve and drinks around it, suggesting a specialty tea and dessert store. Me in a red cap and navy sweatshirt smiling at the camera while holding a cone of green matcha soft serve and scooping a bite with a spoon, seated in front of a tiled wall and a menu board of tea drinks.

Musim dingin tapi mataharinya lagi baik banget, jadi ya jelas: it’s laundry day. 🧺✨

Suhu cuma 19 derajat, angin dingin nyelekit tapi enak, baju pada nongkrong di balkon kayak lagi sunbathing bareng–bareng. Kita kedinginan, mereka yang kejemur. 😌☀️❄️

lady of sophistication @janky_jane Props to anyone who tries to be fashionable in ireland i wore a red beret once in waterford and someone called me super mario Andrew Beatty V @AndrewBeatty Replying to @janky_jane I once ordered a taxi in Belfast for a night out. The driver pulls up to my house and just says "yer not going out like that. Go back in and change, I'll turn off the metre." | swear I was wearing normal jeans and a normal jacket. Matthew @MrWeir Replying to @janky jane I once wore a silver jacket to college, turned up late for class, said 'sorry I'm late', lecturer said, 'that's ok' then waited til I was halfway across the front of the full class before following up with 'trouble with the spaceship again was it?'. Replying to @janky _jane My sister was in France sporting a new trench coat, thought was so stylish, but went into an Irish bar and got called Inspector Gadget by the first guy that saw her 15:53 • 8/16/21 • Twitter Web App was wearing my super-fashionable short trench coat. My friend took one look at me wearing the jacket and said, "Where are we off to now. Columbo?" Eoin O Neill @eoinjoneill Replying to @janky_jane Was wearing a vintage nike jacket in a very long que for drinks at a boxing match when a Belfast lad goes "furk me this is taking forever, your man has been here since the 80's" Loic Wright @dufflest Replying to @janky jane I wore a suit with a matching tie and pocket square to my first day of work at an advertising company (I thought I was going to be in Mad Men I guess) and the staff sent around and signed a communion card for me with a fiver in it.

Grateful for Kindle, the open internet, and Calibre—so many classics freely available and easy to convert. Now I get the best of both worlds: a physical copy to hold and a Kindle version for reading anywhere.

I can’t wait to dive in deeper. Oh, History has always been my favorite kind of adventure🥺

“Man is political by nature”… and this is my morning read at last 😌📖

Finally diving into Ibn Khaldun’s The Muqaddimah—I’ve been waiting to read this one for ages. Caffeinated, curious, and ready to think about civilizations before running errands ☕
