My summer reads (and whether you should read these too)

I know it's been a while since summer and we're well into October already. But, honestly, these books have got nothing to do with summer. So if you're looking for a good book, keep on reading! As every year, Goodreads makes me set a goal of books to read for the year. I once naively …

My Summer TBR

As you may have read in my previous post, I was ready to get out of here and go on an adventure through Europe! Although I associate the summer holidays with travel, I also am a firm believer of me-time, which the summer holidays are virtually made for. Me-time includes books, books, and more BOOKS.  Throughout the year I'm …

TBR Bookmas | Blogmas 2016

Hi guys! First of all, I'd like to apologize. I said I'll do Blogmas and then I disappeared for 3 days. Oops. Life happens, and to be honest, no inspiration? C'mon, it happens to everyone. Anyway! So lately I've been obsessed with reading Christms-themed books. Okay so I may have not actually read any of …

Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief

Hi there! I'm back with another book! I've been on such a roll lately. I've finally had the time to finally get reading and I absolutely love it. Unfortunately, the days that I'll only be reading academic articles are nearing... Anyway! I recently read the first book in the Percy Jackson series: Percy Jackson and …

Firefly Hollow

I know it's not right to judge a book by its cover... but sometimes I just can't help it. Especially when it's this pretty! Plus one of the keywords in its synopsis is supernatural (I read the mini synopsis given by BookBub). Oh, how could I resist?! I honestly finished this book so quickly I …

Knick Knacks from the UK!

Hii guys! So, it's been over a week since I'm back from Cardiff but hey, guess what! I've got a couple of more things to share with you that didn't quite fall under "makeup". I've honestly been swamped in work for uni. Only 1 1/2 more weeks to go before exams and less than 3 weeks …

Dying to Forget

You know that feeling when you stumble upon a great book and it happens to be part of a trilogy and you can't seem to find the sequel anywhere? Well, that's basically what I'm feeling right now. Or have been for the past couple of weeks. I've been meaning to share this particular novel with you …

The Coincidence of Coconut Cake

I want to say that I made this amazing coconut cake that led to the best events in my life including finding my soulmate and opening a restaurant, but I'd be lying. I also want to say I came up with this witty title to share the experience of making the best ever coconut cake, …

Chocolate Lovers, Anyone?

Chocolate lovers, they're everywhere right? I've got nothing against them. Heck I'M one myself. As I sit here nibbling my decadent piece of dark chocolate I wonder how there are actual human beings on this planet who find chocolate appalling. I mean, really, are you really human? Okay, okay. I get it. There are two …
