A young African king is cast out from his family into an unforgiving world. He subsequently undergoes a journey "through betrayal, love and self-identity" to reclaim his throne, utilizing the guidance of his ancestors and childhood love. The story is told through the voices of present-day Black people.

2020 First Post!
Hello!
Long time no see! It’s been a year since my last post here, so I would like to post a mandatory once a year update on this blog. Just kidding. I hope you all are safe and sound on this trying times and, unlike me, actually have something productive to do during quarantine or your work from home period. Good luck though for you guys who have to go outside with all those virus going around.
This year had started quite rough, and ever since the pandemic hit us full forces since March, life has not been the same. Including mine. Without dwelling too much on the details, I have a lot of free times on my hands nowadays. And when I said a lot, I do mean A LOT, like, every seconds I have is pretty much spent doing nothing lol.
Anyway, I think, what is the better way to spend it than talking about what excite me the most and what help pull me through during this depressing time? YES! I will try to update this blog much more frequently from now on! You will have to remember that they key word is “try” thought. It is me you are talking about.
For starters, I will post about my ultimate fave acts in music and basically rambling about them in separate posts, each focusing on an act. I also will probably share my 2019 best music (since it has not been done yet) and my picks on the first half of 2020. I just subscribed to Netflix like a couple of months ago so expect to be hit with that in another post! Sadly, I have not read a lot of books this year. I do read books, but I don’t think you will be interested on what I truly read these couple of years LMAO (it’s mm books).
So.. there is that! Hopefully I can keep my promise and really push myself to write all of those posts. Oh, and since my laptop is broken, I’ll do all of that from my phone. Yay.
See you!

The fact that this record lost to Bruno Mars in Grammys Award is something I still couldn't fathom. The most favorable rating for an album in 2017 and got paid dust???? Unbelievable.

QUICK ANNOUNCEMENT!
It's been AGES since I've posted anything worthwhile in this page, and there is nobody else but me to blame for that. Most of the reasons are personal, such as the lack of interest, lack of skill and lack of time.
I lost my interest/passion on writing anything long mainly because a technology called social media. Why do I have to write a long ass post about something I can easily post under 140 characters? Then to make the matter worse, even thought I did aspire to be a writer back then, I lacked a lot of skill in writing development and has a patience of a child. Therefore, it's impossible for me to write something in one sitting lmao not to mention my original intention was to post everything in english to improved my english skill. Funny how I forgot that when I consider to have audiences. Oh, and college happened.
But no need to worry!
I plan to do a complete overhaul on this blog and its content, first with changing the about section. I'm just going to put it here since I know nobody's going to check that shit out:
Play the book is intended to be a place to put my jumbling mess of thoughts about pop culture in general especially about book (that I have read, or plan to), music (that I enjoy, or I hate so much I want to talk about it), movie (that I care enough to discuss, or remember the detail later on to review) and any trends or what's goody goods that happening in our entertainment world, for my own amusement!
I hope I can put my anxiety and doubt and all of those procrastination at bay.
Wish me luck and stay tuned!
