My Reading Week | 18th - 24th October | Frank Herbert


OCT, 20th - Late last night I finished Dune. Read part III in one sitting which is something I haven't done in a while. What I can say is that part I and III were good but I found part II very boring and the old-fashioned writing style made me struggle sometimes to engage with the text. The story was good though and will be worth rereading. 

OCT, 23rd - Very slow reading this week but at least managed to get to part IV of Book II in War&Peace and I only have to more parts before finishing Book II 🥳. Probably this will be my last update for the week since tomorrow Sunday it's my cousin's son's birthday and we are all getting together to celebrate. Despite not being able to read a bit more, I did make some progress with Sorrowland by Rivers Solomon & We Have Always Been Here by Samra Habib. Both good so far. Most likely will finish them both next week since I have two other halloweeny reads I want to read this October. Cannot believe the month is ending next week. Like, how?!

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?
