I’M BACK EVERYONE – sorry for the ghost. I had exam season during the whole month of December and so I made the tough call to shut down writing and focus on my grades! Thank God, that is done now and I can focus on some well-deserved holidays, reading and YOU GUYS! And so, for the first time in a month, I had the time to pick up a book and I chose Sarah J Maas’ Crescent City and I couldn’t have picked a better Christmas read – here are my first impressions!

First Impressions: Rivers of London
Anyone whose been reading my blog for a while knows that I am an absolute freak when it comes to London. Favorite place on earth. And then you might wonder why it’s only after such a long time that I pick up this book, Rivers of London by Ben Aaronovitch even though it explores London in such depth. Well, I’ve only this year brought it over myself to move out of my YA safe space and to explore some more genres, like fantasy crime. Here are my first impressions!

For the time being, I put down Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix in order to continue with the Throne of Glass series, something I should have done long ago! I’m more than 150 pages into the second book, so you can’t really call it first impressions, but here are my thoughts!

Wow, I’ve never posted a second impression, but this book is HUGE and so I wanted to share my thoughts again, for those of you debating whether to read it, in order to explain how I feel about the development!

For some reason, I believed the corona break would be some kind of stress reliever, to stay at home and do like two hours of school every day, but no: our teachers have been actively sending us work and so I’ve had less time than I would have had in school?! Anyways, that’s the reason I haven’t been active the past week, but thank God, today I had some time to catch up on my reading, and so here are my first impressions of Cassandra Clare’s Chain of Gold!

I started reading the collection of speeches and writing by Ruth Bader Ginsberg, Justice serving the Supreme Court of the United States. I’m almost 100 pages in and so here’s my first impression!

I’ve finally found the time to read the books I actually want to read because I’ve actually had some free-time the past week? I am 50 pages into The Gilded Wolves by Roshani Chokshi and so here are my first thoughts!
continue readingFirst Impressions: rereading Six of Crows!
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.

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!

It’s Wednesday and that means it’s time for my current reading situation! It’s been cooling down around here (temperature and stress wise haha) and that means I’ll have some more time to read in the near future. Not today, however, as I spent some time with my two best friends after school and now I’m soon meeting my aunt for dinner. Anyways, here’s my current reading situation!
