Happy Saturday, everyone! Can you believe that there are only a few hours of 2022 left? Or that I am actually here and posting something for a change? Miracles will never cease, I suppose... Anyway, I figured I might as well give you this wrap-up today because a) I don't have another post ready and … Continue reading What I Read in December 2022
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. The leaves have changed color, the valleys are swathed in fog, and the first mountain tops are already covered in snow. Some October highlights, … Continue reading What I Read in October 2022
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. It's not every day that you move across the country, have your newly bought car break down, and get into a bike accident while trying to navigate … Continue reading What I Read in September 2022
Happy Friday, everyone! September has arrived, but unfortunately, I'm not at Hogwarts. (Can you tell I'm currently rereading Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone and craving chocolate frogs? 🙃) I am, however, on my way to a school in the mountains and frantically trying to pack because I've realized that when you're six hours away … Continue reading What I Read in August 2022
Happy Friday, everyone! It's me, back from the dead!! Fine, maybe I'm being a little bit dramatic here... But it genuinely feels like I've been gone forever because so much happened during July! With a ton of exams and my teaching evaluation looming - this is a single lesson that counts for a huge proportion … Continue reading What I Read in July 2022
Happy Friday, everyone! Welcome to July! Can you believe half of 2022 has already come and gone? On the one hand, it feels like this year has dragged on and on forever, and on the other, it's flying by so fast that I can barely keep up. Like, that two-week break at the beginning of … Continue reading What I Read in June 2022
Happy Friday, everyone! We've made it to June! Which means I have two weeks off for Pentecost break starting tomorrow 🤗 I mean, I will probably need that break to catch up on all the stuff I need to do for work, but still... When given the choice between a busy break and no break … Continue reading What I Read in May 2022
Happy Friday, everyone! We have survived April 2022! I don't know about you, but chaotic doesn't even begin to sum up my past month... For one thing, I was constantly running from one place to the next in completely unsuitable clothing - How am I supposed to plan what to wear when the weather keeps … Continue reading What I Read in April 2022
Happy Friday, everyone! A week late, I am finally here with my March wrap-up! (But come on, how could I possibly resist posting my Tawny Man Trilogy review on April Fool's Day, when that series is literally named for my dearly beloved Fool? 🥰 I obviously couldn't!!! Especially when I also love playing tricks on … Continue reading What I Read in March 2022
Happy Friday, everyone! Did you know that I used to think February was the shortest month of the year, so nothing much could happen in it? Well... I may have been a bit naïve 😅 Both on a personal and global scale, I don't think I've ever had a month as eventful as February 2022. … Continue reading What I Read in February 2022
Happy Friday, everyone! 'Tis I, Naemi, bringing you tidings of the first month of the year! Okay, yeah, I'll admit that I couldn't really think of a good way to begin this post... But overall, January was a very eventful month for me! Some impressions of January, featuring: 1) lots of snow, 2) the aftermath … Continue reading What I Read in January 2022
Happy Friday, everyone! And guess what?! I'M FINALLY FREE!!! As of yesterday, I have officially defended my master's thesis, so now I really have nothing left to do. Except read. And sleep. And bake Christmas cookies. And play lots of violin, piano, and ukulele. And watch Lost in Space, Season 3. All of which I'm … Continue reading What I Read in November 2021
Happy Friday, everyone, and welcome to October! To be honest, September was a very mixed month for me. My grandfather died, I've barely had time for anything other than writing my thesis - which has manifested itself in a huge lack of sleep so that I can at least get some reading time in - … Continue reading What I Read in September 2021
Happy Friday, everyone, and welcome to August! July was a whirlwind of a month for me: I had exams, had to grade loads of other people's exams, got fully vaccinated, got to know my bed a bit better because of getting fully vaccinated, and spent a bunch of time making angry faces at my computer … Continue reading What I Read in July 2021
Happy Friday, everyone! Another month has come and gone, although I've barely managed to process it because I've been so busy 😂 University started again, I moved, and now that I actually understand stuff, my master's thesis has taken over a huge chunk of my waking hours. Which is probably going to stay that way … Continue reading What I Read in April 2021
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
Happy Friday, everyone! I hope you've all had a great start to March! Personally, I find it astounding that we're already over two months into 2021. February really seems to have flown by! Although, looking back, I did actually do quite a lot this past month. I had my own exams, and then spent pretty … Continue reading What I Read in February 2021
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. Between my cat dying, me injuring my foot, and university stress, I'm ready to … Continue reading What I Read in January 2021
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
