Weekend Reads (6)


Today I had already written a discussion for The Cursed Child but I might leave it for next week so I can chew my thoughts some more. However, I posted an Instagram picture explaining as a whole and very simply put my issues with the script without spoiling a soul if you’re interested. And so we are here again with a Weekend Reads.

I’m halfway through The Alchemyst by Michael Scott and although there is action since page 1, there isn’t much to add about it. My second read will be Peter Pan. I’ve been meaning to read it since forever but I never found the time and now that Jen Campbell is doing a read-a-long for it during August it is the perfect opportunity to do so.

I need to continue re-reading Harry Potter especially to try and forget most of the script if possible and so The Order of the Phoenix is next. I won’t manage to get a lot done – I’m well aware – but just a few pages are enough and I wanna take my time.

Anything fun planned for the weekend?

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.

Reading Diary | February Books | 2018

Feb, 1st - 15:15. Finished the second book in the first volume of the Riyria Revelations and I was pleasantly surprised. I still think the world building is the weakest thing about the story because it's not greatly developed but the story is well-written and entertaining. I'm planning on continuing reading the series because now I'm intrigued enough to want to know how everything will unfold. Feb, 7th - 10:33.  I'm finally prepared to go and see the movie Call Me By Your Name because I just finished reading the novel. I enjoyed it quite a bit. It is a celebration of love and an exploration of sex and identity. It's quite explicit though so if you feel uncomfortable with that keep it in mind if you're planning on reading it. My full review of the book is HERE (I also talk a little bit about the movie).
