⋆𝟷𝟼 𝙵𝚎𝚋𝚛𝚞𝚊𝚛𝚢 𝟸𝟶𝟸𝟸 ⋆ 𝚜𝚞𝚖𝚖𝚎𝚛 🏵️ ————— Hello my lovelies ❤️ I've been having some serious fomo this week watching everyone get their copy of HoSAB😭 So I'll probably be avoiding browsing Insta for a while just to calm my poor nerves😂 if you are reading it, I hope you're enjoying it. No spoilers, please! Also, if anyone has seen my fairy godmother, please tell her to call me because I'm tired of being ghosted😂🤭 ————— This week is just not going my way, and I'm feeling slightly overwhelmed by everything that still needs to get done. I hope I'll get on top of it. This is my habit and mood tracker spread for this month. I also included a productivity tracker on my mood tracker to hold myself accountable for my procrastination. Let me know what you think!❤️ Are you tracking any new habits this month? I'd love to hear more!❤️ ————— Have a wonderful Wednesday my dear friends 🥰 Love always, Meg xx ✨ #bulletjournalsouthafrica #bujosouthafrica #bujotracker #bujohabittracker #bujomoodtracker #bujoart #bujoartist #bujoinspiration #bujogram #bujocommunity #romanticacademiaaesthetic #romanticacademia #aestheticbujo #aesthetic (at South Africa) https://www.instagram.com/p/CaCqTVOrY9R/?utm_medium=tumblr

⋆𝟸𝟻 𝙰𝚙𝚛𝚒𝚕 𝟸𝟶𝟸𝟷 ⋆ 𝚊𝚞𝚝𝚞𝚖𝚗🍁 𝓲𝓷𝓱𝓪𝓵𝓮 𝓬𝓪𝓵𝓶𝓷𝓮𝓼𝓼. 𝓮𝔁𝓱𝓪𝓵𝓮 𝓼𝓽𝓻𝓮𝓼𝓼. ————— Hello friends ❀ Hooray for the weekend! Here in South Africa, Tuesday is a public holiday, so for some of us this is a long weekend 🥳 I managed to read a chapter or two last night, but I won't have too much time for reading this weekend. Between Shadow and Bone and my May setup, I'm pretty fully booked✨ ————— When I read Caraval for the first time, I was immediately obsessed. I absolutely loved this series and it still infers with me now. I love it so much I just had to buy these stunning hardcover editions (paperback editions are most commonly published in my country, so any hardcovers must be ordered form overseas). #qotd: do you prefer paperbacks or hardcovers?

𝟷𝟿 𝙰𝚙𝚛𝚒𝚕 𝟸𝟶𝟸𝟷 ⋆ 𝚊𝚞𝚝𝚞𝚖𝚗🍁 𝓲𝓷𝓱𝓪𝓵𝓮 𝓬𝓪𝓵𝓶𝓷𝓮𝓼𝓼. 𝓮𝔁𝓱𝓪𝓵𝓮 𝓼𝓽𝓻𝓮𝓼𝓼. ————— Hello friends ❀ I was tagged by @an0therpageturner and @rhionnareads to do the #bluestack challenge, so here is my blue stack! I didn't realize how many lovely shades of blue I have on my shelves, if only I had the space to show them all in this picture! ————— I didn't manage to finish my book this weekend, I just had way too many things to get to. Hopefully I get some time again soon, but probably this upcoming long weekend will be a good time. I started mentally planning my May theme and I've very excited to get it down on paper. #qotd: what did you read this weekend?

⋆𝟷𝟼 𝙰𝚙𝚛𝚒𝚕 𝟸𝟶𝟸𝟷 ⋆ 𝚊𝚞𝚝𝚞𝚖𝚗🍁 𝓲𝓷𝓱𝓪𝓵𝓮 𝓬𝓪𝓵𝓶𝓷𝓮𝓼𝓼. 𝓮𝔁𝓱𝓪𝓵𝓮 𝓼𝓽𝓻𝓮𝓼𝓼. ————— Hello friends ❀ Its FRIYAY! 🤩 Today I'm grateful for the weekend, because I get to spend quality time with my children, and I get to do some reading 😬 After finishing My Dark Vanessa, I felt like I needed a palate cleanser before attempting Addie LaRue again, so I started reading Deal with the Elf King yesterday and I couldn't put it down👀 I'm about half way right now, so maybe I can finish it before the end of the weekend. Wouldn't that be something? ————— So I'm sure you're all waiting on tenterhooks for my next video, but I'm going through a bit of a demotivated patch right now, so I'm still busy editing. If you'd like to see my other videos, go ahead and check out my channel. Link in bio. Anyway, here is my spread for this past week, I really liked the illusion of the fish swimming behind some sort of glass. It was fun to make, but it's been tricky to use because all the lines can get confusing 😅🐠 #qotd: what are you grateful for today?

⋆𝟷𝟸 𝙰𝚙𝚛𝚒𝚕 𝟸𝟶𝟸𝟷 ⋆ 𝚊𝚞𝚝𝚞𝚖𝚗🍁 𝓲𝓷𝓱𝓪𝓵𝓮 𝓬𝓪𝓵𝓶𝓷𝓮𝓼𝓼. 𝓮𝔁𝓱𝓪𝓵𝓮 𝓼𝓽𝓻𝓮𝓼𝓼. ————— Hello friends ❀ Is there a book you will often think about long after you have closed its pages? Strange the dreamer is such a book for me. In fact, I think about this duology often. There is just something in its beautiful writing that I cannot forget about. I'm hoping to read them again some time this year. ————— Today I noticed a very different feeling in the air. The light is golden and the sun has lost its ferocity. Even though it is still warm, it's definitely approaching winter time ❄️ #qotd: which books are you thinking about lately?

⋆𝟷𝟷 𝙰𝚙𝚛𝚒𝚕 𝟸𝟶𝟸𝟷 ⋆ 𝚊𝚞𝚝𝚞𝚖𝚗🍁 𝓲𝓷𝓱𝓪𝓵𝓮 𝓬𝓪𝓵𝓶𝓷𝓮𝓼𝓼. 𝓮𝔁𝓱𝓪𝓵𝓮 𝓼𝓽𝓻𝓮𝓼𝓼. ————— Hello friends ❀ Everything is so busy lately, I feel like I'm constantly delaying my posts just to catch my breath. There is no shame in taking a break friends, it's important that you take good care of yourself. I accidentally started reading My Dark Vanessa this weekend and so the editing that I had planned to do has taken rather a back seat. I'm sure I will get around to it soon, maybe. In the mean time, go check out the rest if my videos. Link in bio. ————— This is the setup that I did for last week. I had so much to do that I made an entire page just for a to do list, keeping the daily spaces much smaller than I usually do. I'm very happy with how the colour scheme turned out, do you like it? Anyway, I hope you all had a fabulous weekend and that the week ahead is filled with good things ❤️ #qotd: what did you do this weekend?

⋆𝟶𝟽 𝙰𝚙𝚛𝚒𝚕 𝟸𝟶𝟸𝟷 ⋆ 𝚊𝚞𝚝𝚞𝚖𝚗🍁 𝓲𝓷𝓱𝓪𝓵𝓮 𝓬𝓪𝓵𝓶𝓷𝓮𝓼𝓼. 𝓮𝔁𝓱𝓪𝓵𝓮 𝓼𝓽𝓻𝓮𝓼𝓼. ————— Hello friends ❀ Tell me, how are you really? I've been experiencing some very low lows lately, and I'm not sure why. Things just seem a bit tougher than usual. It can be a struggle to find time to take care of yourself when you have two little people who are entirely dependent on you for everything. Which is probably why my reading has taken such a back seat. I miss being able to fall into a book for an entire afternoon. ————— I'm still reading Addie LaRue, and I'm impatient to get further with it because I've been stuck on the same page for over a week now. But it's less of a reading slump and more of a mental slump. #qotd: are you making good progress with your current read?

⋆𝟶𝟼 𝙰𝚙𝚛𝚒𝚕 𝟸𝟶𝟸𝟷 ⋆ 𝚊𝚞𝚝𝚞𝚖𝚗🍁 𝓲𝓷𝓱𝓪𝓵𝓮 𝓬𝓪𝓵𝓶𝓷𝓮𝓼𝓼. 𝓮𝔁𝓱𝓪𝓵𝓮 𝓼𝓽𝓻𝓮𝓼𝓼. ————— Hello friends ❀ Here's me doing some 𝑽𝒂𝒓𝒊𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 in my posts with another spread set up 😜 ( I'm in rather a strange mood, let's chalk the weird captions up to that) This was the spread I did for the final few days in March. I ended up including a section for reflection because (as I was recently reminded) the first quarter of the year is already over, and I wanted to reflect on how I've been doing with the goals I set for myself. ————— Obviously I'm super late with my new video but I'm hoping to have it uploaded by the weekend 😬 in the mean time, check out my April set up on my channel! Link in bio✨ #qotd: are you on track with your goals for the year? Have you added or changed any?

⋆𝟶𝟻 𝙰𝚙𝚛𝚒𝚕 𝟸𝟶𝟸𝟷 ⋆ 𝚊𝚞𝚝𝚞𝚖𝚗🍁 ————— Hello friends ❀ I was looking at my feed the other day and realized that I haven't done a bookish post in some days, so here's one for ya 😬 With all the hype surrounding the reveal of the cover Aurora's End, I've been thinking about Aurora Rising a lot lately. Initially I gave it a 3.75/5 rating, but I wonder if I might enjoy it more if I read it in one or two sittings, instead of over the span of several hundred years (#momlife). So my plan is to read it again before the release of the third book, just to give it a fair chance. ————— I hope it was a blessed Easter to all who celebrate🐰 and if you don't celebrate, I hope you had a really great long weekend. Keep safe and healthy friends. #qotd: have you read Aurora Rising? What did you rate it?

⋆𝟶𝟹 𝙰𝚙𝚛𝚒𝚕 𝟸𝟶𝟸𝟷 ⋆ 𝚊𝚞𝚝𝚞𝚖𝚗🍁 ————— Hello friends ❀ I took a break for a couple of days this week for my mental health, and now I'm back and ready for action! I set up my April theme in my bullet journal last week and uploaded the setup to my YouTube channel (have you seen it yet? Link in bio) and in all the chaos I completely forgot to share my setup for the final three days in March. Keep an eye out, I'll be posting that this week! ————— Anyway, the theme I chose for April was a calm and soothing koi fish theme, with some calming colors to help me soothe my anxiety. I also started The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue recently, and while I'm not very far in it certainly looks promising! #qotd: let's catch up! How was your week? What is your April theme? What are you currently reading?

Yesterday was a public holiday here in South Africa, and so it's a short week, hooray! Have you seen my latest YouTube video yet? What are you waiting for! Gogogogo👀 ————— Here is my weekly setup for this week, I used my stabilo 0.88 liners to color in the leaves. I think it came out pretty nicely. #qotd: what was the last beverage you drank?

Now I need to figure out which one of my 14739292629 books will be the one I read next 😅 I'm joking, it's not really that many. Maybe. ————— I've got a busy weekend coming up, with lots of editing, filming, family time and hopefully some reading. #qotd: what are your plans for this weekend?

This is the fastest I have read a book in a long time 😂 #momlife amirite? ————— I've also been actively annotating this book, which is something I have wanted to start doing and now I am really glad that I have. I'm hoping to start writing better reviews for the books that I read and I'm sure that annotations will help me organize my thoughts. #qotd: do you annotate your books?

It's been so busy that somehow we are already halfway through March 😯 Every day it gets a little bit cooler, and the light becomes more golden.
