Holiday Reads 2016


Two weeks. The countryside. And a very ambitious to be read pile. However, I tend to read a lot at my grandma’s village. It is super quiet there and if hay fever allows me – I really hope by this time now all the pollen has decreased a lot – I’ll be reading outside, surrounded by trees. It is also the perfect place to take a lot of pictures and although I won’t have the greatest internet connection I’ll try to post some on Instagram whenever I can. There are also going to be a lot of festivities and almost all the family is coming and I cannot wait to see them. Last year we had a blast and we intend to make this year even better.

Also, since I won’t take my laptop with me – there is really no reason to really, as said I won’t have Internet access – I’ll hit pause and freeze my blog for the next two weeks. It is a bit annoying because since I started blogging again I have blogged rather consistently every Monday, Wednesday and Friday but I've also felt a tad burnt out these past couple of weeks so I think some time out will be nice. Once I’m back I’ll try to catch up with all blogs as soon as I can, I promise.



Have an awesome August, wherever you are,
 and happy reading!

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.
