October marked the arrival of Autumn, which consequently marked the arrival of snuggly knitted jumpers, hot drinks and woodland walks. As well as a heavy workload and way too much homework and revision for one exhausted blogger. So, in one word: tiring.

Some Blogs I Read This Month:
- Queen of Contemporary: I'm pretty much always reading Lucy's blog… but it has been particularly incredible of recent. Her post "Leaving Your Mark on Books" was superb.
- Tea Between Books: Again, I'm always reading Sandra's blog but I feel like mentioning it because, recently, I've been rereading a load of her posts. I just love them.
- Lauryn's Notebook: The aforementioned Lucy mentioned this blog and I've been binge-reading it for the past few days – so creative!
- Paperback Castles: I have to translate this blog to English, but it's worth it! Rikke's posts are beautiful, not forgetting her gorgeous photos.
- It Was Lovely Reading You: Am I ever not reading this blog?!
- A couple of books I hope to read are: Bear, Lips Touch, The Blind Assassin, The Girl Who Circumnavigating Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making and The Time Traveller's Wife
- I also have a couple of WW1 books I'm hoping to read as part of my History revision for school (yes, I'm disguising reading for pleasure as 'revising')
- I have a couple or blog posts planned, but I'm open for suggestions!*
- One big ambition is to become more organised in terms of balancing school and blogging – I've needed to do this for AGES!
So, that was my October (roughly!). How was yours? *Please leave some blog posts suggestions too, if you can! I don't have anything else to say other than I hope you had a great Halloween!
AHAHAHA thank you Ruby! xD

ReplyDeleteThanks! And TBS is incredible!
DeleteI think I legitimately blushed when I saw you mention my blog. Especially since I've been absolutely rubbish at producing consistent content on the blog haha :D And I'm so jealous that you've read The Mime Order. Even though, you know, I haven't read The Bone Season yet. But I fully intend to the moment I have time off from uni. Here's to a good November! ;)
ReplyDeleteI just love your blog so much aha! :) And The Bone Season is amazing – as is The Mime Order. :)
