Happy Saturday, everyone! Am I milking the opportunity to wrap up 2022 for all it's worth? Quite possibly 😁 But hey, regular content is regular content! Anyway, as a nosy person who absolutely adores math, I've always been beyond fascinated by others' blogging statistics. I love when people share them, I love hearing their reasoning … Continue reading Reacting to My 2022 Blogging Stats || A.K.A. Me Judging My Viewers’ Taste in Content
Happy Saturday, everyone! We've looked at my favorite books, we've looked at my least favorite books, but what we haven't looked at yet is how much I read, what I read, and how well I did at achieving the bookish goals I set for myself in 2022! (Sure, technically you could figure out most of … Continue reading 2022 Wrap-Up || Bookish Stats, Goal Check-In, 2023 Goals

Happy Saturday everyone! Yes, I'm still alive. Barely. You know when you feel like you're a ship seconds away from sinking, narrowly keeping your decks above water, and then somebody comes and dumps a whole bunch of additional cargo onto you? Well, let's just say that that's a pretty accurate description of my November 😅 … Continue reading What I Read in November 2022
Happy Saturday, everyone! October has come and gone, we've made it to the penultimate month of the year, and at least here in Central Europe, fall has arrived in full force.

Happy Friday, everyone! What a whirlwind September has been! I'm not even kidding when I say this was probably one of the most chaotic months of my life.

"The longer I looked at him, the more I wanted to go and kill, not quickly and quietly, but messily and noisily. I wanted the people who had done this to him to know they were dying and why. I wanted them to have time to regret what they'd done." - Fool's Quest, 'Winterfest Eve … Continue reading SPOILERY BOOK REVIEW: Fool’s Quest by Robin Hobb
Happy Friday, everyone! After the absolutely horrendous week I've had, I have decided bicycles are by far the most superior mode of transportation. Why? Imagine the following scenario: Even though you hate driving, you are forced to get your own car because you've been sent to teach in a very mountainous area and couldn't find … Continue reading The Tour de France Book Tag

Happy Friday, everyone! Slightly sunburnt and with a bleeding foot - Don't ask. While carrying my suitcase up the stairs in the apparently most inconvenient way possible, I somehow managed to drop it right onto said foot and stab an artery with one of its wheels 😅 - I am back in my home country … Continue reading Detrimental to Your Mental Health? || A Discussion on the Downsides of Being a Book Blogger
Καλή Παρασκευή σε όλους! Yes, I'm aware that isn't Swedish. However, since I am currently in Greece and not Sweden like I'd originally planned, I thought it'd only be fair to greet you in the local language. After all, there's still going to be plenty of Swedish in the rest of this post! Some impressions … Continue reading Recommending Books Based On Weird Duolingo Sentences || Swedish Edition
