Yes, she lives!

September 12, 2018 by Hazy May

Just dropped in to say hello! (if anyone is still out there reading my old posts)

It’s been a roller-coaster kind of past couple of years. Mostly busy, with many changes, big and small.  I haven’t read that many or few books during that time, I realized. Perhaps it’s time to start reading again, slowly but surely.

Maybe I’ll post something new soon. Or soon-ish. But first I must grab a good book. Ha. Something easy and not too heavy a story. Hmm. Any suggestions?

[Tales on a whim] She and the Sun

January 26, 2016 by Hazy May

It was yet another brand new day. The first day of the week, even. The birds were chirping. Flowers were blooming. The Sun was shining. She woke up with a smile, as she does every day.

“Hello, my dear Sun! How are you today? How’s everything going to be today?” she cheerfully said.

The Sun replied with equal enthusiasm, “I feel wonderful! Another fine and beautiful day it will be, my lovely lady. That I promise you.”

“Sounds great! I believe what you say, as always. Thanks for brightening every moment of my every day.”

The Sun smiled lovingly and proudly shone up in the sky.

She went about her day as she normally did. Around noon, a knock was heard on the door.

Who might that be? she wondered. She got up and headed that way. She looked out the window and noticed gray clouds in the sky. How could this be? Didn’t the Sun promise a beautiful sunny day?

She reached the door, turned the knob, and was surprised to see the Sun. He was burning low; unenthusiastic he seemed.

Out of hiatus… Sort of

January 8, 2016 by Hazy May

It’s been a long while since I last updated, and I haven’t read much books since. I’ve been so caught up with work and many other stressful and non-stressful things. I’ve gone through quite a few of life’s challenges too, and I’d like to think I’ve learned a lot and am now somehow much smarter and wiser. And I believe the best is yet to come.

Oh, right, update: I’ll probably post a book review soon.

Thank you for continuing to visit and read this blog.

Have a happy and lovely 2016, everyone! 🙂

[Event] National Poetry Month 2015

April 28, 2015 by Hazy May

Apparently, April is the month to celebrate poetry.

I vividly remember having to memorize “Jonathan Bing” and “The Owl and the Pussy-Cat” for declamation contests during my preschool days.  I’ve written and read a bit of poetry over the years, but I kinda have a love-hate relationship with it. Sort of. I very much dislike being forced to read and write and analyze poetry for English classes. But, I do have several poems that I really like.

One of my favorites is “Annabel Lee” by Edgar Allan Poe. When I first read it years ago, it somewhat reminded me of a late loved one . . . And it reminds me of that person still every time I read it. It goes like this:

Welcome !

Hi, I’m Hazy May. I read different kinds of books, but I’m quite partial to crime/mystery novels as well as mythology, fantasy and adventure stuff. I also enjoy reading children’s literature and young adult fiction books. This is where I’ll post my thoughts on books and I’ll try to make them as simple and short as possible. Some of my random writings & babbles may also appear. I try to write a new blog entry at least once a week (usually weekdays). Thanks for visiting! :)
