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!

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.
