• My 2025 Reading Review

  It has been a long year full of reading, from the light-hearted easy reads to the novels that took up more of my time and brainpower, and some surprises thrown in for good measure. 2025 has been a year I am unlikely to repeat again, and you’ll see why in a bit, so without further…

• My Last PhD Check-in For 2025

  What better way to empty my brain and reflect on my academic journey this year than to do a PhD check-in to close off 2025? This isn’t my last post of the year, but with the last day of 2025 only a few days away, I have many discussions lined up for you all, and…

• Another Helen Hoang Romance in The Bride Test

  It has been a while since I read The Love Quotient by Helen Hoang, but it is my most viewed post on annafromuni by a long shot. Given its popularity, I figured now is as good a time as any to continue the series and pick up The Bride Test. I wasn’t expecting this romance…

• My Birthday-Christmas Bookish Additions

  First, let me apologise, because this isn’t a review post as I promised. Instead, it will be akin to a book haul, but extending across my study and reading hobbies. There isn’t a lot to report, but they are going to lead to some goals and intentions I have for the summer. These will serve…

• Classic Kiwi Brilliance in Janet Frame’s A State of Siege

  I have read some of Janet Frame’s autobiographical work in An Angel at my Table, and I knew I wanted to find some fiction pieces to read in the coming months. Imagine my surprise when I found A State of Siege recommended by one of my trusted bookstagram accounts (I believe she is UK-based, so…

• I Read the First Five Volumes of Umi Sakurai’s A Man and His Cat

  My next manga in progress is Umi Sakurai’s A Man and His Cat, and I have not stopped smiling since I started it. From the adorably peculiar Fukumaru to the kind and troubled Mr Kanda, the short episodes within this manga are so funny and sweet, I genuinely couldn’t stop smiling over how sappy it…

• My Becka Mack Playing for Keeps Series Review

  At last, I have finished the Playing for Keeps sports romance series by Becka Mack. It has been such a fun ride, from the chaos of Consider Me to the slow yet steady love in Breathe with Me, and I honestly think this is my favourite sports romance series to date. With such depth of…

• A Therapeutic Read in Satoshi Yagisawa’s Days at the Morisaki Bookshop

  Forgive me, friends, but my December has been a bit muddled as of late. As such, I haven’t found the right time to read Ursula K. Le Guin’s fourth Earthsea Cycle novel Tehanu, but instead have picked up Days at the Morisaki Bookshop as a short, but soul-touching read to get some good healing vibes…

• A Little About Me, annafromuni

  Yesterday was my birthday, hence I didn’t post anything. Today, instead of a review post, I have decided to write a little about myself. Nothing extensive, but something different from my usual discussion content that I think wraps everything up nicely. What do I like? What got me into the field I am in? What…
