A Day in Bookland

Today we say goodbye to August. I won't say I will miss summer after the horrible - and by horrible I mean unbearable hot - weather. I don't know how people can stand it. Bring me autumn already! When I picked up the books to make the picture for this wrap-up, I was surprised to see 9 (although two can count as novellas) and I can't but wonder how many books could I have actually read if I hadn't been on a slump for over 2 weeks.

I wanted to write a review for Animal Farm , which I loved by the way, but I haven't and tomorrow I'm going to Valencia and then to my parent's village and I won't most likely post a damn thing in August and that makes me both sad and furious at myself: sad, because I really wanted to get into the blogging wagon again. I miss not only posting here but also commenting on other people's blog. And I sincerely ap
