(14) What Books Are You Reading?
le chercheur d’or (j. m. g. le clézio) // one of the three books for my french course
le barbier de séville (beaumarchais) // one of the three books for my french course
la porte étroite (andré gide) // one of the three books for my french course
afblijven (carry slee) // a book in dutch i got to revise my dutch when i have some time
dzienniki japońskie (piotr milewski) // a birthday gift from my aunt, a book about a polish man traveling through japan without much money or anything, really. not a genre i like, but i’m reading it because it’s a gift
białe kruki, hvite raven (christer mjåset) // i bought this two years ago during the summer, when i was kind of obsessed with medical thrillers, and i read.. maybe a third of it? it got kind of frustrating after a few chapters so i’m waiting a bit before going back to it (it’d be white ravens in english, but i have no idea if there’s an english translation of it)
szkoła zabójców, the killing school (brandon webb) // i bought it during this summer to pass time, along with two other books (now finished), but i still haven’t gotten around to reading it, heh.. i’m two or three chapters in!!
millennium i: the girl with the dragon tattoo (stieg larsson) // i started this a couple of years ago, then stopped because of school work and because i got it from a library back then. now that i have my own copy, i’m taking my sweet time with it!!
the crimson petal and the white (michel faber) // my mum absolutely loved this book and she insisted that i had to read it (and even bought me an extremely pretty copy of it) so here i am!! it’s kind of a harder read though, the lexis is kinda confusing sometimes and the font is kind of small, so it’s hard to read in my frees at school (which is why i haven’t finished it yet)
siddhartha (hermann hesse) // similarly to my journey with demian, i started this pretty excited, but found out reading it was much harder than expected (maybe because i always start those books at the worst time.. ever.. like during my exams), currently on hiatus
call me by your name (andré aciman) // read about half of it! it was nice! but i decided to read something that’d catch my eye for longer than this!! so currently on hiatus, but i’ll finish it sooner or later

(28) What Makes You Happy?
talking to my mutuals & other friends, getting asks and messages, just random stuff!! pastel colours, my blanket, the warmth underneath me when i wake up from a nap, ice tea, oh my girl’s songs, cute stationery, writing when i’m inspired, occasionally thinking i’m not as ugly as i tend to think, my cats, walking home on my better days, when i have deep conversations with myself while looking at the sea on the horizon, people calling me cute/sweet/adorable, …
