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.

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?
