Life

Feeling a bit under the weather and stressed out. Hoping to find some time to read at the end of the month, I miss getting lost in a good novel.

Blog and books

I'm currently reading a Dutch book, De geschiedenis van mijn seksualiteit, for my book club meeting in December. I also started A Study in Scarlet, my first Sherlock Holmes story. I've only read the first chapter so far but I'm thoroughly enjoying it. It makes me miss the show Sherlock even more.

Movies and TV Shows

I just finished Only Murders in the Building today and I loved it! It was the perfect cosy show to make me feel a little bit better. Any cosy TV show or film recommendations are welcome! I'm in need of them!

Busy weeks correcting ahead, hope to have some time left to read, though.

Blog and books

I finished Second Place by Rachel Cusk and quite enjoyed it. I think Outline might still be my favourite of her novels I have read so far. Currently reading a Dutch book: De geschiedenis van mijn seksualiteit and I'm hoping to finish it next week but this might just be wishful thinking.

This year I am thinking of reading Conversations with Friends, Jane Eyre and A Study in Scarlet as well. We'll see how that goes.

Also, I love the new ceramic mug I made, I love creating things and can find so much joy doing so.

Movies and TV Shows

I finished The House of the Dragon, Enola Holmes and Enola Holmes 2. I didn't expect much from the latter two but ended up enjoying those films after all.

Also started watching Only Murders in the Building this week, will be intrigued to see what happens next.

Life

My break is already over, I'm a bit sad I'm still feeling under the weather and next week will be quite busy again. 

However, I did manage to go to a Picasso exhibition this week and to visit a bookshop. I enjoy going to museums but don't often find people willing to join me, so instead of missing out on the exhibition, I decided to take myself out on a date to visit the exhibition, have some lunch and visit a bookstore. It was a wonderful day!

Blog and books

I finished Bram Stoker's Dracula this week, I really enjoyed the first half of the book, it's very atmospheric, spooky and mysterious. The second part dragged a bit, and was a bit too long or repetitive in places and the ending was a little anticlimactic. I expected a more spectacular end for some reason. However, I still really enjoyed the  book and would recommend it as a Halloween read! Looking forward to watch the film again, one of these days!

I'm currently reading Second Place by Rachel Cusk and De geschiedenis van mijn seksualiteit (a Dutch novel). The first one is my third Cusk book and the latter is the book I'm reading for a book club I joined at work. I rarely read books in Dutch anymore so it's good to have a purpose to read in Dutch again.

And now a mini book haul: These are the books I got on my trip and a bookmark from the Picasso exhibition to celebrate a perfect day!

Movies and TV Shows

I stared The House of the Dragon, I'm enjoying it and am curious to see how the story will unfold. Haven't watched Rings of Power yet, but hoping to do so this year as well. Have you seen it? Do you recommend it? I have heard mixed things about the show so far.

Also watched The Bear this week. Interesting show for sure, but a lot of chaotic things happen which didn't make the show relaxing to watch for me.
