Happy Friday, everyone! After an eventful week filled with school, lesson preparation, insanely hot weather, and me narrowly avoiding a kitchen inferno because I decided cooking and simultaneously catching up on Eurovision content was the ultimate time management hack, I've decided I'm too tired to be trusted with any creative ideas of my own and … Continue reading The Trope Tag

Maybe my dread of upcoming exams is accelerating time 😁 However, June actually turned out to be the best reading month I've had in a while. I read so … Continue reading What I Read in June 2020

Hi everybody! This week's post is coming to you from a severely sleep-deprived me, but that's because I just had a reading week so awesome that I feel like this week alone will be responsible for about half of my favorite books of the year. I'm not kidding! Among others, I read one four-star and … Continue reading Mini-Reviews: The Interestings, Allegedly, The Anti-Virginity Pact

Hi guys! I hope you've had a good week! I actually started mine having to pay 7€ in library fees - something that came as a bit of a shock since I've never returned anything late in my life before now...

Hi everyone - I hope quarantining is still going well! Personally, while I liked all the extra free time at first, I can't wait for things to return to normal now that the new semester has started.

It's been ages since I did a tag, so this post is long overdue!

Ah, the good old school days... I guess there's nothing like university to make you nostalgic for when you were a kid and had tons of free time, even though you didn't realize it back then. And of course, part of those childhood memories have to do with reading. When I was in elementary school, … Continue reading Underrated Middle-Grade Books that I Loved in Elementary and Middle School
