My Reading Week | 15th - 21st November | Ali Smith, Erin Sterling & Tolstoy



NOV, 19th - Earlier this morning I finished Summer by Ali Smith. I felt its ending was a bit rushed and I wouldn't have minded staying with these characters a bit longer but all in all I was satisfied with it. Spring remains my favourite out of the four novels. 

NOV, 21st - After being sick for a few days my brain was less foggy to read for longer than a few minutes so I took full advantage of that and managed to read a bit. I finished The Ex Hex by Erin Sterling and although it was a cute and quick read and thankfully the juicy scenes didn't make me cringe, I found that the author use of HP terms a couple of times to explain magical things instead of coming up with her own terms is just very lazy. I also got enough time to finish book II of War&Peace, which means I finished volume I and can continue with volume II.

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?
