Writer's Insomnia

I know it's already the second week of June, but I still want to publish my wrap up for the month of May. Last month was quite successful reading-wise. Ever since I committed to reading two books at once - one physical and one audiobook, I noticed how smooth the reading process has become.                    Eyland by S.H. Bjornsdottir Dates read:...

I slowly open my eyes. I’m standing in the middle of my bedroom in the same old T-Shirt I always wear to sleep. Sleepily, I look around as my eyes finally start to sharpen in the overwhelming darkness. The sun is not out yet, the greyish gleam coming through the window paints the room cold and uninviting. I shiver. Am I dreaming?Everything seems to...

Rating: 4.5/5 TW: abuse When I was younger I promised myself I would read all Nicholas Sparks's books. I adored his writing style and the way he created his stories; they would usually leave me bawling my eyes out at the very thought of what had happened in the novel and I lived for that. Then Message in the bottle happened (a really...

Rating: 4/5 Goodreads link: The Walking Dead Vol. 1 Read: physically (in Polish)  Dates read: 31/03/2020 - 01/04/2020 Pages: 142 I made two attempts to watch the TV show but both were pretty unsuccessful somewhere in the second season. I can't quite pinpoint the reason behind it as I somewhat enjoyed the plot and didn't mind the gory zombies. I also watched a...

I honestly love taking part in readathons as they serve as great motivation (and I usually need that) to get more reading done. I also get weirdly excited about putting together my tbr and looking through my books to chose what I'll read. The prepared stack of books that currently stares at me from the corner of my desk fills me with so...

Rating: 4.5/5 Goodreads link: Roomies Read in: English, physically/audiobook Dates read: 06/03/20 - 09/03/20 Pages: 368 Until Roomies, I had never read any book by Christina Lauren before. I can tell now I'd been missing out big time! I am a big sucker for romance novels and lately, I've been enjoying more and more adult books.  I've been hearing great things about Christina Lauren...

I have been on the lookout for ways to change that, come back to the...

In some of my previous posts, I have mentioned that I'm not that great when it comes to reading set books for classes. In fact, it's one of my goals this year to get better at it (see: Reading Goals for 2020). But it's also not as bad as I sometimes make it seem - I have read quite a few of them...

Rating: 3/5 Goodreads link: I Do - Or Do I? Read in: English (physically) Dates read: 19/01/20 - 20/01/20 Pages: 252 I've finished this book a while back, so the review won't probably be as detailed as I originally planned it to be but at least it's coming out! I picked this book up in the library on a whim, didn't really know...

Rating: 1.75/5 Goodreads link: Zenith Read in: Polish (physically), English (audiobook) Dates read: 05/12/19 - 07/01/20 It's been a while since I've finished this book, so I don't know how well (or badly) this review is gonna go. However, with my second semester of uni starting, I'll probably read less and therefore I'll have less writing opportunities. Looking at my past behaviour, that...
