Confessions of a Forty-Something F##k Up {Book Review}

February 13, 2024 by Dee 1 Comment

I am so proud of myself for finally managing to finish reading a book after who knows how long. I did a whole post about how this is a problem for a lot of former bookworms nowadays because our attention was stolen. I actually came across the book at a shop called Bookazine in Central. […]

Why It’s So Hard to Read Books Now

April 2, 2022 by Dee Leave a Comment

Last week, we had an episode on Banana Q: a Filipino-flavored podcast where I interviewed Eliza Victoria about what it’s like to be a Filipino author. Aside from talking about her writing process for Wounded Little Gods and After Lambana, she was also very honest about how she doesn’t really earn that much from her […]

Listening to Audiobooks on Hibooks App

October 3, 2018 by Dee 2 Comments

I used to read books a lot, especially while growing up. But recently, I have found it a struggle to concentrate on books. I guess my brain was rewired thanks to social media or Netflix or the Internet as a whole? Who knows! I know I’m not the only one, because I’ve discussed this phenomenon […]

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child {Spoiler-Free Review}

July 31, 2016 by Dee 8 Comments

A few weeks ago, I happened to pass by Popular bookstore in Eastpoint and saw that they were taking reservations for the latest Harry Potter story – Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. So I excitedly paid for a copy and this morning, all my flatmates asked why I was up so early on a Sunday […]

The Little Prince Trailer (Video)

April 25, 2015 by Dee @ A Deecoded Life 6 Comments

I don’t know if I’ve ever mentioned it here before, but my most favorite book of all time is The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. It looks like a children’s book, but it’s actually rife with meaning about love, life, and human nature. So when I watched the video of its movie trailer this week, you […]

6 Movies Better Than The Books

March 1, 2015 by Dee @ A Deecoded Life 8 Comments

“The book is always better than the movie.” I’m sure you’ve heard someone say that at one point or another, but I beg to disagree. Yes, most of the time, the book is better, but not always. Here are 6 movies which I thought were better than the books they were based on. (1) THE […]

Books are a Uniquely Portable Magic

February 25, 2015 by Dee @ A Deecoded Life 26 Comments

I cringed when something hit David at the back of his head in the New York subway. Just as I was about to find out if he was okay, I got distracted when the jam-packed train started emptying of its passengers. Just like David, in a split second, I jumped from the New York subway […]

Book Reviews: Recent Reads part 2

August 28, 2014 by Dee @ A Deecoded Life 8 Comments

I don’t read as often as I used to, but I have managed to read these books recently. I thought they were all worthwhile reads, so I wanted to share, in case anyone out there wanted to get her hands on a book and didn’t know which one to crack open. These three books are […]

Jamie Lived at the End of A Walk to Remember, Right?

April 11, 2014 by Dee @ A Deecoded Life 20 Comments

When I was in college, my friend Tope introduced me to Nicholas Sparks. No, not in person, I meant his book, A Walk to Remember. I remember reading the first chapter on a Saturday afternoon, taking a nap, then waking up and continuing the book only to never let go of it and finishing it […]
