On a Saturday - I know. But it has been a rather crazy week. Very short COVID-update. My friend has tested positive and therefore I am currently in quarantine, dreading the moment I might start developing symptoms. I just had my appointment for the test, and will have to stay in quarantine until Monday regardless... Continue Reading →

My week has not been great so far. I am currently at home in quarantine awaiting the results of a COVID test from one of my close contacts. If they test positive I will have to do the full quarantine and get myself tested as well. Besides, they are sort of literally breaking the apartment... Continue Reading →
Sunshine Blogger Award – I got nominated three times!
Recently I got nominated for the Sunshine Blogger Award - not once, not twice, but three times by wonderful people. The first time was a month or maybe it bit longer ago by Alex from PA Reads, they write great reviews and other posts. Then I was nominated by Becky from A Couple of B's... Continue Reading →
Favorite Friday #4
Favorite Friday is a bookish meme which was started a couple of weeks ago over at The Midnight Book blog. Since the prompts posed interesting questions I've decided to join. Today's question is about a favorite spot or time to read. This is another difficult question because I have no definite answer to it. Usually... Continue Reading →
September 2020 Wrap-up
Time is flying by. It was only just summer and now it's autumn already! It has also been extremely busy and stressful last month, so I have another month with not as much reading as I would have enjoyed. Besides, I notice I am always a little reading slump-ish around the equinoxes. Coincidence? For now,... Continue Reading →
WWW Wednesday #6
I have holidays this week, so I have all the time to relax. I spend my time reading books, watching movies on Netflix, finally playing some games on the PS4 that I got at the beginning of the lockdown, and - if the weather allows - some walks. I feel my stress levels are gradually... Continue Reading →
Help me decide what to read!
So, I decided to take a week off of work. I didn't take holidays during summer, since there didn't seem a purpose, but I felt like I could use a little break, so here I am on a short, last-minute break with all of a sudden rather a lot time on my hands. And in... Continue Reading →
Favorite Friday #3
Favorite Friday is a bookish meme which was started a couple of weeks ago over at The Midnight Book blog. Since the prompts posed interesting questions I've decided to join. Today's question is about a favorite Fantasy book. This is so difficult - do I only get to choose a single one? In the five... Continue Reading →
WWW Wednesday #5
This weekend, I was pretty optimistic. I managed to finish three books on a single day - one of which was for book club, which I finished a healthy two hours before it started. However, after Saturday, I am once again feeling rather overwhelmed with books and work, and I feel constantly stressed because of... Continue Reading →
How I Read – tag
I came across this tag over at Lost Girl's Books, and it looked a lot of fun, so I wanted to give it a try as well. I do not know where it originated though. Do you have a certain place at home for reading? There isn't really a place where I wouldn't read. I... Continue Reading →
WWW Wednesday #4
I feel like I start these posts every week with the same message. It's been a very busy week and I didn't get much reading done. These words also perfectly described last week. The last couple of days were particularly busy, with very long hours. Besides I think I might have to admit to myself... Continue Reading →
If only I could finish a book – Halloween Bingo Update
It might be clear by now that my September and October reading is dominated by Halloween Bingo. We are about two weeks in and my reading is not really what I had hoped. I feel like I have a light reading slump. Still finishing some books, but it takes much more time than usual. I... Continue Reading →
