Wow. I finally finished 1984 and tomorrow, I have to present it in class. That’s very good time management. Anyways, I have a pretty different feeling towards it now than after having read the first thirty pages as well as the minutes after finishing it completely vs. now, having informed myself on why the book was written (politics etc.) So this shall be a very interesting review: here are my thoughts on George Orwell’s 1984!

Happy Valentine’s Day – in fact, I hate this day. There shouldn’t be a special day to show the love for someone, show them you love them every day of the year. And for me it’s Galentine’s Day so that might be a contributing factor. Anyways, let me quickly excuse my absence: I had THREE huge presentation this week, it was my aunt’s bday and everything was hectic and so I haven’t even glimpsed at my blog the past week, or written anything. I am back, however, because the only thing on my list is finishing (thank god) 1984 and catch up on some homework. And so I’m even more excited to have great topic today: I’ll try and answer the question what makes an engaging blog post. Let’s Talk Bookish is, as always, hosted by Rukky @Eternitybooks!

This couldn’t come at a worse time for me: I have to read 1984 for school and should have my presentation steady and ready to go (was my quote correct?!) in three weeks with a lot of other things on my mind. Then on Saturday morning while I was peacefully sipping my tea and reading 1894, I had the incredible urge to start rereading Six of Crows that very minute. And I did.

Happy Friday – yes, the weekend is finally here! I have sooo much on my plate for this weekend, but all fun stuff, so it isn’t too bad! To the bookish part: a great topic today that I’m very excited to discuss!

Happy Wednesday everyone – half of the week is done and I can’t wait for the coming weekend! It’s my grandpas birthday, everyone’s visiting and we’re celebrating all together! This evening, I’m going to the theatre with my bestie, her brother and my mum as my best friend’s mother is interpreting a Spanish play and I’m super excited! On to the bookish part – it’s been stressful, but I’ve tried to get back on track with my reading, so here’s my current reading situation!

What a day it’s been: I spent more than three hours writing an essay on Faust (terrible, terrible essay), finished my maths homework and now I’m going to speed through this in order to continue read 1894 before dinner. Anyways, this topic is awesome: I’ll count down my TBR 5-star predictions!

I actually had a different post in mind for today (I’m rereading Six of Crows at the moment and wanted to write a First Impression), but OMG my baby is two years old, I can’t believe it!
These last two years have been the happiest of my life writing this blog. Creating posts, chatting and reading other blogs fills me with so much joy and it’s something I’m so passionate about that I’m really happy to have reached the 2 year mark!
To be honest, going back to the me 2 years ago on February 3rd, had I asked myself “Where do you see your blog in 2 years?”, I definitely would have answered “with more than 400 followers, a great community and regular blog entries”. I had no idea where my blog would lead, all I wanted was a safe space to talk about my current and all-time favorite books and I definitely didn’t expect this to develop into what it has become today.
What I am trying to say is that I am beyond thankful for every single one of you: for the ones who’ve been with me for two years who watched this blog grow, for the ones who’ve joined me on the way and for the ones who’ve just joined recently. I can’t believe people are actually reading what I have to say – this is something super magical and amazing and I can’t believe I have the opportunity to experience this.
Above everything else, I wish to thank my parents for a) financing this blog, I know I shouldn’t take that as given, but more than that for supporting my every choice, reading my posts and never doubting me!
My love goes out to everyone of you – to many more years of bookish fun!

I chose this book for an English project and so this is for school – however, it doesn’t feel like it as I’ve been planning on reading this for a while now and just got lucky to combine fun and school! Here are my first thoughts on George Orwell’s famous novel 1984!
