March 2017


March is over. And April is here. I know most of us say this everytime a month goes by but seriously, time has flown by and I'm terrified because my finals start at the end of May and I have been neglecting all Uni stuff for the entire month and I really hope I can catch up on work during April. Coming back from my holidays didn't help if I'm honest. March has been a bit of an in-between month for me. At the end of February, I went to Germany to visit my sister and we both travelled to Copenhagen - which I really really liked - and since coming back to Spain at the beginning of March I haven't had the motivation to sit down and study properly. This whole situation is also to blame for my reading this month as well. Quite a lot considering the previous months but all the time I should've spent studying, I spent reading. 

All in all, I've had a mixed reading month. My two favourite reads were The Year of Living Danishly - a non-fiction book where the author talks about her experience of living in Denmark during one year -  and Nina is Not OK - a coming of age story about an alcoholic 17-year-old girl. I highly recommend reading both of them. My least favourite was A Visit from The Goon Squad by Jennifer Egan. It just didn't work for me. And the same thing happened with Otared by Mohammad Rabie. And I now just realised that I forgot to include in the picture Beauty and the Beast. However, it wasn't very memorable and I prefer the Disney version of the tale way more.

My reading plans for April are still on the air. As I said, I will concentrate on my Uni work but I have a few titles that I wanna get to. I'm currently reading The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas and without a doubt will be a favourite of mine. It deals with Black Lives Matter movement and it is a very important and necessary book.

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...
