Happy Friday, everyone! I know, I know - two book reviews in one week? Even though I don't particularly like writing them? Something must be wrong with me 😂 But then again, university started this week, and I need to make the most of being able to read and blog until the first homework assignments … Continue reading Book Review: Assassin’s Quest by Robin Hobb
“These are the times that scare her the most, the beginnings and endings: this is when the world is most unpredictable.”- The Betrayals The Betrayals is a book that sneaks up on you.

Happy Friday, everyone! I hope you're all doing great and spending time with some wonderful books! Here, at least, we have perfect reading weather ❄🍵📚 It started snowing again on Easter Monday, and the flakes have been picking up speed ever since.

Happy Friday, everyone! March is over, and we've finally found our way into Spring! At least that's the case here in Germany. While we still had quite a bit of snow in mid-March, everything is now green and covered in flowers, and I've really been enjoying spending time outside. I actually found the perfect audiobook-listening … Continue reading What I Read in March 2021

Perhaps because we all fear that such knowledge would fall into the hands of one not worthy to use it.”(Royal Assassin, p. 1) Happy Sunday, everyone!

Happy Friday, everyone! I've had another really busy week full of beta-reading and working on math stuff, so instead of the book review for Royal Assassin that I originally had planned for today, you're getting a tag!

Happy Friday, everyone! I hope you're doing well! I've spent most of the week working on my thesis and proofreading things for various other people, so I'm glad you guys came through with intriguing assumptions to keep me entertained! Seriously, by the time I had read a certain someone's abstract, my belief in humanity had … Continue reading Reacting to Your Assumptions About Me!

Happy Friday, everyone! You're getting another tag today, because after the whirlwind of a week I've had, I'm way too lazy exhaused to write anything too elaborate 😁 First, my phone somehow decided now would be the perfect time to go into auto-destruct mode, which means I've been scrambling to get a replacement and trying … Continue reading The Bookish Snob Tag

Hi everyone, happy Sunday!
This is just a quick heads up before I get back to studying for my Russian oral tomorrow 😉 As you may or may not know, Riddhi over at Whispering Stories has recently been doing a series of blogger interviews, where she talks to different people all around our community every Sunday. Anyway, today I had the great honor of being featured on Riddhi’s blog, so if any of you would like to check that post out and discover a few more things about me that I might not have shared on here yet, you’re more than welcome to!
Also, if you’re not already following her, I would also highly recommend checking out some of Riddhi’s other amazing content. I don’t know how she does it, but she posts such a variety of creative things on Whispering Stories and she even recently started a second blog, poems and poesies, where she posts some of her poetry. Trust me, it’s definitely worth reading!
Anyway, I’d better get back to studying now 😅 I’ll see you on Friday with my regular post!
Hello everybuddy! As you may or may not know, in late December, I announced that I will be doing a series of blogger interviews and the fourth one’s here!
Today I will be interviewing one of my favourite bloggers- Naemi from A Book Owl’s Corner. I have often talked to Naemi in the comments and we have also talked via emails once or twice! But this interview provides more of an insight to her life, so I am excited! Let’s get started!
Me: So, Naemi, tell me something about yourself.
Naemi: This is already such a difficult question to start off with! I don’t think I’m actually that interesting, to be honest. Just your regular old math and English student who loves to talk about books in her free time.
But one thing that I don’t think I’ve ever mentioned on my blog is that I live in this…

Happy Friday, everyone! I hope you've all had a great first week of February! I'm currently in the middle of studying for finals, so I wouldn't necessarily say mine has been wonderful, but things are definitely looking better than in January.

Happy Friday, guys! Today we're doing something a little bit different. I actually went into a bit of a cleaning frenzy these past few days, mostly to keep myself distracted from my absolutely horrendous last week and my very painful foot. Long story short: My skin got too dry, then tore open during a snow … Continue reading Reacting to Some of My (Really) Old Writing
Happy Friday, everyone! I hope you've all had a wonderful week! 💕 Seriously, my own was such a disaster that it'd be nice to know that there are people out there who are having a much better start to 2021.

Happy Friday, everyone! This week has actually been quite an eventful one. University has started again, which means that I suddenly have a ton of work to do, and everyone is already worrying about finals, which has me worried that I might not be worried enough yet, if that makes sense...

Happy Friday, guys! Now that you already got my favorite books of 2020, I obviously have to follow up with my least favorites!
