24in48 Readathon


This weekend the 24in48 hours readathon takes place. The rule is simple: reading for 24 hours in a span of 48 hours.

I did it last year and had so much fun so I decided to take part in it again although I'm not sure how much reading I could get done since I wanted to celebrate my birthday with my grandma and rest of the family this weekend so we can all be together even though my birthday isn't until next week. However, I know I would find some time to relax and read a couple of pages here and there. Here is my TBR:

  • The Ballroom by Anna Hope. An historical fiction novel set in the Edwardian era about an asylum in the Yorkshire moors. Can't get better than that really.
  • The Thing Around Your Neck by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. A short story collection where the author explores the cultures of both Africa and the West.
  • What Is Not Yours Is Not Yours by Helen Oyeyemi. Another short story collection - I think they are great for readathons because you can have breaks between each story - in which all stories are connected through the idea of keys.

I'll be updating my progress on Twitter and Instagram :)

Are you guys taking part as well in the readathon? If not, what are your plans for the weekend?

Vintage Classics: Brontë Series

Maybe you don’t know this about me but I collect different edition of Jane Eyre and when I learnt that Vintage was releasing the new Brontë series I just couldn’t say no.

April 2017

And another month goes by. To be fair, this time it didn't fly around for me; it was quite a slow month in general and I spent half of it reading - I can't even believe I have managed to read all of these books -  and half of it studying for University. I'm all caught up with all my courses and I'm ready to start revising for finals which will be at the end of May/beginning of June. I'm still in awe that for once in my life, I've being productive as hell if I say so myself. Hurray! Basically I wrote down all I had to do and I organised it throughout the first three weeks of April. At the same time I told myself I had to read for fun at least 30 minutes every single day in order to avoid being slumpy due to stress. It worked.

The Gif Tag!

Jess over at My Reading Dress – seriously, go follow her! – tagged me a while ago to do the Gif Tag and I haven’t been able to post it earlier because I have no clue about technology and I couldn’t make the gifs work so I had to investigate a bit. Also, I haven’t read most of the books of the list. I really hope this works out alright so without further ado, let’s get started! Oh, I might have used more than one gif for some of the books...
