Welcome to my “-BER” Month BUBBLEGUM PICKS! 🍬📚
Friends, we have reached the point in the year where I need to have a conversation with myself about the books I keep buying versus the books I am actually reading. 😂
I went through my physical TBR and chose 18 books I genuinely REALLY want to read before the end of 2026. Some have been sitting on my shelves patiently waiting. Some are newer purchases I swore I would read immediately. You know how that goes. 👀
So all 18 went into capsules and into the jar!
The rules are simple: I pull ONE Bubblegum Pick, and that’s my next physical TBR read. Once I finish it, I get to come back and pull another.
Will that mean a new pull every Tuesday? Maybe! Will one of these books hold me hostage for two weeks? Also maybe! 😂 There is no schedule—we’re letting my reading speed and the Bubblegum Gods decide.
But TODAY we make our very first pull. 🍬
And I am ridiculously excited to see how many of these 18 I can knock off my shelves before December 31.
Okay, place your bets: how many of the 18 do you think I’ll actually finish before the end of the year? 👀

![Netizen di media sosial ramai-ramai menyerukan aksi mencetak stiker merah bergambar Garuda bertuliskan “Objek Ini Dibeli dengan Uang Pajak Rakyat”. Seruan itu bermula dari sebuah utas diskusi di Threads, lalu cepat menyebar ke platform X. Berdasarkan pantauan unggahan warganet di kedua platform tersebut, gerakan ini menjadi bentuk protes atas penindakan pajak yang dianggap tebang pilih. Warganet menyoroti kebiasaan petugas pajak memasang segel maupun stiker peringatan di tempat usaha warga dan pelaku usaha mikro, kecil, dan menengah (UMKM) yang menunggak pajak. Menurut mereka, aparat kerap terlalu keras terhadap rakyat kecil, padahal penyimpangan anggaran dan keterbukaan soal penggunaan pajak di level atas masih jauh dari memadai.
Dalam sejumlah unggahan yang viral, warganet mengajak masyarakat mencetak sendiri stiker tersebut. Rencananya, stiker akan ditempel di fasilitas umum, mobil dinas, hingga gedung pemerintahan. Langkah ini dimaksudkan sebagai pengingat bagi para pejabat bahwa fasilitas, infrastruktur, dan aset yang mereka nikmati dibiayai dari jerih payah rakyat. Seruan itu pun menuai dukungan luas dan menjadi salah satu topik terhangat yang mencerminkan kritik publik terhadap tata kelola pajak. Hingga kini, gerakan tersebut masih berupa ajakan di media sosial dan belum ada tanggapan dari pemerintah.
