Come what? May?!?
May was a write off. Utterly and completely. I started 2023 with lots of plans and kind of maintained them for 4 months but I was scraping by. May it with its bank holidays and going out almost every night for almost 3 weeks in a row completely knocked me off my feet. Scraping by, became a complete halt. I worked out a whopping 2 times in the month of may and ordered more takeout than I should…

Hi….
This past week, wasn’t the best. And no thanks, I’m not looking for pity. Motivation is an occasional friend. July was a smooth uphill ride. And the first week of august was a rapid descend into the fiery pits of Mordor. I was feeling numbed out and quite demotivated, every day I kept running from one 5ing to the next, yet I still managed to spend a ridiculous amount of time just lying on the…

“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.” -Will Duran A quote often misattributed to Aristotle, yet a summary of Aristotle’s writings on excellence. Morning read, and cup of coffee 📚☕️ I’m not excellent and I’m not sharing a mind blowing novel idea, I’m just agreeing with someone smarter than me. Yet, it has taken me 28 trips around the Sun to finally…

Goals, new beginnings and moving on
Hi, my name is Djoyce and I love starting new things. The problem was always following through. Well, since everyone is saying it: 2020 was a hell of a year, and everyone’s lives were turned upside down. It was also the year I finally managed to follow through. The follow through only happened for one area of my life, so let’s not fool ourselves, there’s a long road ahead. But I discovered I’m…

Beatrice and Virgil by Yann Martel
This was the first book that came out of my TBR Jar, and I wouldn’t have picked it up on my own, so I’m glad it was the first one. Although I kind of liked it, I think it lacked connections, it lacked something for the reader to care about, it lacked direction. It started a bit like a borderline self glorifying autobiographical piece where the main character and author share many…

“Who ordered all these books?!”
me:
buying a second hand book & being able to see underlined quotes from the previous owner is so cool. you found that line life changing? moving? earth shattering? … being able to see what has caught someone else’s eye when you may not even have noticed it is truly something

What the voices in my head are saying…
Today I thought I’d share what other things I do besides reading books.
A huge part of my day is spent hearing voices. From all sorts of podcasts, and every once in a while, I find one I become obsessed with.
My current obsession is The Joe Rogan Experience Podcast.
Joe Rogan is a comedian, television host, commentator and podcaster. I highly recommend both his Netflix Specials if…

QOTD: What's the most recent book that made you cry? While reading The Girl With Seven Names by @hyeonseolee I teared up a couple of times. This book is brilliant, and a real story too. I loved every bit of it and highly recommended it. It's a fast paced read and it's really fascinating. I'm grateful she had the courage to write and share her story with the world. Spreading stories like hers is important to shed awareness of the reality of life in North Korea. And the arduous path to freedom.

May Wrap up is live! I only read 2 books in May and none of them were fiction! I just came back from my office's book club where we discussed "The Girl With Seven Names". This is defining a book I wouldn't have picked up in my own. I'm really happy someone else suggested this title and that I had the chance to read it. Tap the link in bio for the blog to post on the thoughts on the wrap up. 🐇 🎩 QOTD - Which book you wouldn't have picked up on your own but you're happy someone picked it up for you? 🎩 🐇 🎩 🐇 🎩 🐇 🎩 #reading #reader #bookstagram #booklover #aliceinwonderland #ahatterandahare #bookblogger #bookworm #bibliophile #booksofinstagram #wrapup #may #harryahistory #melissaanelli #booksiread #thegirlwithsevennames #hyenseolee #may https://www.instagram.com/p/ByTRfwbHwSZ/?igshid=glu26smrmje5
May '19 Wrap Up
May Wrap Up
As I said in yesterday’s post, May was a horrible reading month or me. It was also supposed to be the month I was supposed to dedicate more time to blogging and I failed miserably at that too.
But I’ve been getting more and more organised. I think I’m getting into the swing of things… Let’s see.
Reading hasn’t been high on the list and I barely managed to read 2 books this month. I don’t…

May was such a bad reading month for me… I have no way to explain what happened. I barely managed 2 out of the 3 books I wanted to read, so many things happened and so many things didn’t happen. But, hey I’ll aim for the stars again. But this time, I’ll have 2 must reads and one bonus read.

Hi! So, May is over and I’m trying to get a hang of it. It’s been difficult to find the time to work, write, take pictures, edit everything and still do some social appearances with The Boyfriend at weekend barbecues every once in a while. I know… I’ll find my balance.
Now onto what matters. I’m supposed to be on a book buying ban. But in May I had a day off and hit a few charity shops and…
