The second week of this magical readathon is now over. It feels like time is moving so fast. I didn't finish as many exams this week as I did in the first week, but I still managed to read a couple of books. Right now I'm working my way through Strange the Dreamer by Laini Taylor for the Transfiguration exam. And guys, this book is exactly what I want right now. Why did I wait two years to read it?? Exams Completed As you can tell from the two exams I completed this past week, I went all out on the Ancient Greek front. My book for the History of Magic is pretty historic, which is kind of perfect. Not very magical though, but my pick for Ancient Runes was. I'm still on top of my tbr and … [Read more...]
The Month in Review: March 2018
March has been a month of shadowhunters and lots of amazing superheroes. It has also been yet another month of neglecting this blog. Sharing my thoughts on books is one of the things I love the most. But I haven't had the energy to do much about it so far this year. I hope you enjoy my monthly wrap-ups, because thus far in 2018 they are the only kind of post I'm certain of posting every month. I have a lot of stuff clogging my mind lately, most of it being about the classes I'm taking, but hopefully it won't last forever. Anyway, here are my favorite books of the month, the TV shows I watched, books I reread and what's on my radar for April. Favorite books of the month I've boiled it down … [Read more...]
The Month In Review: February 2018
FebruaThe month of February brought lots of gifts. I adopted a cute little rescue bunny from the shelter, which has helped me get back on track and calm down after losing my beloved Elvis. I've named the new little guy Hugo after my grandpa. He has a strong personality, which makes for some hilarious moments. In addition to the new addition to my life, I also went on a short trip to Copenhagen with my mom. It was a lot of fun visiting some of my favorite places, eating great food and generally enjoying life. Now it's back to studying again, which is also kind of great. It's surprisingly nice to be taking classes again. Favorite books of the month Both of my favorite books of the month are … [Read more...]
The Month In Review: January 2018
It's been a rather hectic month. I started some classes, specifically math and chemistry, and it's going great so far. For that reason I haven't been able to read as much as I usually do. In addition to all of this change, I also lost my little beautiful floof bunny, Elvis. He had an inoperable tumor, and since it would be cruel to keep him alive and suffering for my own comfort, he was put to sleep. I'm completely heartbroken about it, I loved him so much, he was my little ray of sunshine. Not to go completely insane, I want to make an effort to keep my blog going. Though I won't be able to post as much, because of homework and other assignments. Fortunately, I read a couple of great books … [Read more...]
The Reading Year in Review: 2017
This previous year has been surprisingly productive for me. I started this blog and I've been actively using it since late April 2017. A feat I never thought possible with my poor track record of maintaining interest in, well, basically anything. I rarely get bored from lack of ideas or entertainment. I get bored with things. Usually very quickly in fact. It's good for generating ideas and thinking outside the box, but not so great for keeping a book blog alive. Don't get me wrong, it hasn't been easy. Some months have been pretty terrible. But that's the thing, isn't it? Nothing worth doing is ever easy. If it was, I'd most likely have abandoned this project long ago. Twenty-seventeen … [Read more...]
Space Readathon Wrap-Up: September 2017
The space readathon ended on Thursday the 21st of September. It was short, but I still managed to read a reasonable amount of pages. I didn't get to all of the books on my TBR, but I finished two of them and started a third. And guess what, I didn't even stray from my planned TBR. I feel like I deserve to be a little proud of myself. Before I start praising myself too much, here are the books I read during the space readathon. Death by Black Hole: And Other Cosmic Quandaries by Neil deGrasse Tyson This one was certainly interesting as it dived deeper into the vastness of the cosmos than Astrophysics for People in a Hurry, which I finished right before starting Death by Black Hole. But for … [Read more...]
