What's Waiting on My Bookshelf - February '18


I make no secret of the fact that I'm a huge bookworm and that I'd take a night spent with my nose in a book, snuggled up in bed over a night out pretty much any day - and because I like to basically inhale the books I read in one single setting, I'm constantly on the lookout for new reading material!


Now, as I mentioned in my recent chatty life update, my life has pretty much turned upside down within the last few months, so I hardly had any time at all to just sit down and escape reality for a few hours.

But did that stop me from buying books? Nope. I mean, buying a new book every now and then and telling yourself that the glorious day when you finally manage to sit down and read it will come basically counts as retail therapy, right?


So, naturally, I have accumulated quite the pile of fresh new babies that have been sitting next to my bookshelf - yes, next to it, because I have somehow managed to fill up not one, but two of the shelves I bought when I moved into my flat. Whoops.

But even though it's currently looking like quite the mess, it at least inspired me to share with you the current stand of my to-read list because I've had so many positive reactions when I talked about the last pile of books I had accumulated back in August - so let's get into it!

Uni, Work, Blogging - When Life Suddenly Becomes Too Overwhelming


Sitting down to work on a blog post feels somewhat weird, I've got to admit. I've tried to write this post several times, and always decided that it wasn't good enough and that I'd have to come back to it.
 The last time I published fresh content for my blog was in the middle of September, which is now over five months ago.
Yes, I'm really ashamed; and I feel like I owe you an explanation for just disappearing into thin air like that.

It's not like I fell out of love with blogging, it was quite the opposite. I'd still come up with ideas I wanted to turn into content, and I still wanted to keep up with bloggers I'd adored forever, who inspired me and made me want to do better.

I couldn't even tell you how I started spiraling. I feel like my major crisis both slowly crept up on me as well as washed over me like a wave. Suddenly it all happened so quickly, and what felt like all at once.
