January 2016


Long time, no see. January was spent among textbooks and notes. Revision took over my life and I had no time for anything else. I’ve done three exams but I still have two more to do and 10 days before being completely free but I’m gonna try and be more present on the blog; not only on mine but in everyone else’s as well. I miss it.

Anyways, my reading suffered in January and I got to 4 books, and another 2 were DNFs. One of my resolutions for this year is to stop reading a book if I’m not getting anything out of it. My bookshelves are filled with so many unread books and I don’t have the time to waste in “bad books”. I know, I know…. The “what if it gets better” question will always be there but let’s be real, if you’re halfway through a book and there is nothing there for you to enjoy, chances are the book is not gonna get any better. And it’s time to accept it and move on. Or at least, that’s what I’m trying to do.


I cannot wait for exams to be over so I can have all the free time in the world. How did January treat you?

Book Review // The Improbability of Love by Hannah Rothschild

The Improbability of Love  by Hannah Rothschild { Goodreads } Published by Bloomsbury in 2016 Paperback edition; 479 pages { BookDepository } The Improbability of Love follows a bunch of different characters all involved in different ways with the art-world scene in London when a very famous painting –which gives name to the novel – is found by Annie, the main protagonist we could say, in a thrift shop. Don’t be fooled by the cover which screams chick-lit through and through; the novel deals with so much more.

Weekend Reads

This weekend I'm planning on finishing El día de año nuevo y otros cuentos maravillosos  - a short story collection by Vladímir Odóievski that so far it's simply okay nothing really special- and reading a chunk of Outlander . I'm halfway through the latter and so far, it's a very enjoyable read; I started watching the TV show last year when it premiered but stopped after some episodes because I wanted to read the book. I'm finally caught up with what I saw and from now on I don't know what's going to happen which makes me wanna read even more. What are your plans for the weekend?
