To all you readers (yes, all 2 of you) I am SO SORRY for being MIA.
My final semester of medical school (let that sink in: Final. Semester. Medical. School.) is well on its way, and I started with the most difficult posting which is Internal Medicine- only second to being as busy as Obstetrics & Gynaecology, but with 500 times the reading material. It's been a blast with new group mates, and I am way more enthused about the posting than last semester so hurrah!
I also met a very nice gentleman in his golden years last week, who writes poetry. I was in charge of his bed, and he's such a darling. He's writing a poem about me (and he says it's encouraging)! While I am unbound by medicolegal issues as a mere student, I am pretty excited about fostering good relationships with my patients. Some of my friends told me not to get too attached to patients, but that's not how I work. Probably will be, once I get too busy to listen to patients' life stories, but now not so much.
Probably the reason why I don't want to specialize in fields with higher mortality *cough* Onco! *cough*
Anyway, he's inspired me to write again. And by that I mean in the blog.
I HAVE been reading. In the month of March, I finished 14 books. For April, I have so far finished 7 books, all of which do not exceed 400 pages and some of which are graphic novels. My aim in the coming months until two weeks before my final exams is to continue reading, but only lighter material that does not require days of reading for immersion (i.e. books with 400+ pages), if I can help it.
And I'm glad to say my favourite book so far this year has got to be:

| Ready Player One by Ernest Cline! |
This is one of the books and part of my birthday package from my boyfriend, And it is AMAZING. I can't wait for Armada by Ernest Cline, his next standalone book coming out later this year!
I love this book to pieces! I am so elated to have it in hardcover; it's such a beautiful book, filled with nerdy goodness.
As for reviews, I'm sorry I have been way delayed with them. I do not dare to promise any set amount of reviews in the coming months but I will try to make more time after this, at least for mini reviews. It's about consistency after all. ;)
I wish all of you great times ahead no matter what you do, and until then, keep on reading!
