Happy Friday everyone! My thesis is still consuming pretty much all of my time - I've solved the database problem (I think), but I'm getting a bit worried about my program's computation time when confronted with polynomials of higher degree... It's been running for three full days since it delivered the last set of data, … Continue reading Comparing US and German Book Covers (Part 3)
Happy Friday, everyone! I know I've been extremely absent from the blogosphere these past few weeks, but I'm still alive! I'm just still very busy with all the coding for my thesis. If you by any chance happen to know how to externally search an online database such as LMFDB within a MAGMA-program, please tell … Continue reading Never Have I Ever Book Tag
Happy Friday, everyone! I hope you're all doing well! University is now in full swing over here, which means I'm back to grading papers and struggling with my own homework... But it's actually kind of nice to have some sort of fixed daily routine again. I feel as though I'm much more productive when I … Continue reading The 20 Questions Book Tag
Happy Friday, everyone! Today, I’m bringing you a rather special post – an interview with one of my favorite authors, Katie Wismer! I first discovered Katie through her YouTube-channel Katesbookdate, which I would highly recommend if you’re ever looking for inspiring vlogs, writing tips, book recommendations, or wholesome cat content 😊 I’ve always found her … Continue reading Author Interview with Katie Wismer
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! Since, you know, writing a review would have meant actually finding the time to read the book first … Continue reading The Meet the Book Blogger Tag
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
Happy Friday, everyone, and a wonderful Lunar New Year to those of you who celebrate it! My own week was pretty much filled with exams, so overall, I'm mostly glad it's over 😅 Especially since I've discovered that online exams are even more stressful that the regular kind. With no fail-safe way of stopping us … Continue reading Books as First Dates Tag
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. One of our cats died on Monday, and to say I'm not dealing well with … Continue reading The 2020 Superlatives Tag
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... Although the intense end-of-semester … Continue reading The “Baby It’s Cold Outside” Book Tag
Happy Friday, guys! Now that you already got my favorite books of 2020, I obviously have to follow up with my least favorites! Because, let's be honest: Sometimes, it's just so satisfying to rant about all the books that ended up letting you down 😁 As always, I will be splitting this into two parts, … Continue reading My Least Favorite and Most Disappointing Books of 2020
Welcome to 2021, and a very happy New Year to you all!! I think we can all agree that 2020 has been quite a ride... It certainly wasn't the year I envisioned having when I wrote last year's December wrap-up, that's for sure. But that's not to say it was all bad! Despite online classes, … Continue reading What I Read in December 2020
Hi everyone! Can you believe that 2020 is almost over? Maybe it's because the pandemic has reduced my social obligations to a bare minimum or because I spent pretty much half of the year dreading exams, but these past few months have really seemed to fly by! So guess now is as good of a … Continue reading The End of the Year Book Tag
Happy Friday, everyone! I hope you've all had a great start into December!! ❄️ Or, at the very least, I hope you've had a better week than I have... Between the pandemic and those exams, this year was never really going to make it into the highlights of my life, but these past few days … Continue reading What I Read in November 2020
Happy Friday, everyone! Again, this week has been an extremely busy one for me, but things are getting better! For one thing, my best friend and I knuckled down last weekend and went through all our lecture notes on Mori theory - and we understand stuff now!! I mean, it's still not a lot, but … Continue reading Stuff That Happens in Books But Never in Real Life
Hi everyone! We've made it to the end of yet another week, and thank heavens for that, because I, for one, am utterly exhausted 😅 You know how I thought I'd have more free time once my exams were over? *Insert pitiful laughter here* Yeah, I suppose I sorely underestimated what can happen when you … Continue reading The Fall Time, Cozy Time Book Tag
Hi everyone! I can hardly believe it - I AM FINALLY DONE WITH ALL OF MY EXAMS!!! My oral actually went really well, and my relief is indescribable right now. After studying for this thing for over two years, it's suddenly ... over? Just like that? Honestly, it feels so weird to suddenly have free … Continue reading The Sunshine Blogger Award – Takes II, III and IV
Hi everyone! October has ended, and it's already November! How did that happen? Seriously, time seems to be flying by lately - I guess there's nothing like exams to rob you of hours and hours that you never even noticed you had. And now, finally, I am almost finished! As of mid-October, I am officially … Continue reading What I Read in October 2020
Hi everyone! I am slowly but surely chipping away at all the things I've been tagged at - there is still an enormous backlog, but I am getting there! I might actually write a couple of extra posts in the next few weeks to get caught up, but I'm not making any promises... After all, … Continue reading The Medieval Queens Book Tag
Hi everyone! Emer over at A Little Haze Book Blog nominated me for the Liebster Award a while ago, so I thought it was high time I got around to answering her questions! Thank you so much, Emer! 😊 A piece of advice to everyone else: If you aren't already following her, you're missing out … Continue reading The Liebster Award
If you've been keeping up with my wrap-ups, you'll know that I've been reading Shakespeare borderline obsessively for the past few months. And now, seven years after I read my first Shakespeare play, A Midsummer Night's Dream, in English class, I can finally say: I DID IT!!! I have read all 39 plays in the … Continue reading I Read Every Shakespeare Play – Here’s My Takeaway
