BOOKTUBE-A-THON #6

I managed to read 358 pages today, wow. I finished the first book of my trilogy and got halfway through the second. So I might be able to finish it tomorrow! :3 I also listened to part 1 and 2 of my audiobook in between, so I've only got 2 hours to go of that. Gonna set up my alarm tomorrow and get up the earliest I can to finish this challenge <3

BOOKTUBE-A-THON #5

Just a quick update to let you guys know that I finished reading Peter Pan today! Actually I read 2 books cause it contained Peter Pan & Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens and I really loved it! Although I've only read 169 pages it seemed a lot more. I also felt really tired and dizzy some moments (probably because of the meds I have to take now) that I didn't start reading my trilogy. I realized I probably won't be able to finish booktubeathon anyway, cause I only have 2 days to finish 700 pages and listen to an audiobook. But oh well, I'll see where I can get :) For now this is the progress.

BOOKTUBE-A-THON #4

While resting I have been reading nearly the whole day today and finally finished The Order of the Phoenix. I also started reading Peter Pan, cause I decided to take that as my classic. I'm at page 76 now and I'm going to try to get to 100 before I go to bed so in total I'll have read around 250 pages again. I realized this is kind of my maximum for a day.

Hopefully I'll finish Peter Pan tomorrow, so I will only have my trilogy left. As for the audiobook I might take the adaptation of Neverwhere, cause I found it online and I wanted to listen to it anyway! That way I'll do all the challenges of booktubeathon.

Surgery + BOOKTUBE-A-THON #3

So today I had my surgery and it went well! I don't know if I already wrote about it on my blog, but I had to get my wisdom teeth removed and also get dental implants. I woke up twice last night and decided to drink sth before 8am (because after that I had to stay sober) and tried to sleep as long as possible. My dad came to pick me (and my mum and sister) up at 1pm and brought us to the hospital. I was really stressing out at first, my parents told me to calm down, I really almost started crying and I don't even know why. It's not a big surgery, but I was so scared cause I've never had surgery before. They also told me to put my glasses off so I couldn't see a thing which stressed me out too (my eyesight is like -6 so yeah).

Anyway when they anesthetized me it was quite funny, they didn't even tell me, the woman was checking my blood pressure and the guy was like 'sleep well' and the next moment I was gone. It took my quite a while to wake up and after a while I started really feel the pain, but it wasn't unbearable, only at the left side I felt it more than the right side, so they gave me painkillers just in case. Around 6pm they told me I could leave, so I got up to get dressed. I still felt a bit dizzy though, but apparently that's normal. When I came home I took a nap and after that felt much better and ate some petit gervais. I have been tumbling while pressing a coldpack against my cheeks and eating soup and some more petit gervais. I'm really glad that this is over and I don't have to worry about it anymore.

Of course I wasn't able to read anymore today so I'll do a day extra for my booktubeathon and do day 4 tomorrow. As for day 3 I read around 100 pages of HP yesterday, cause I had an appointment and also had to work in the evening so I've barely been home.

Gonna stop now cause this post it longer than I thought =p

Wooooshh<3

(how is everyone coping with the heath btw? o.O)

BOOKTUBE-A-THON #1/2

I decided to update my booktubeathon challenge every day, but I forgot to write yesterday so I'll write for two days now.

DAY 1

I got up rather late today and continued reading Pride and Prejudice. I also read a bit in Harry Potter, and in total I read 155 pages. It doesn't sound that much, but people kept talking around me, so it was rather hard to keep concentrated.

DAY 2

Today I've set my alarm at 10am and got up at 10:30 and immediately started reading. I started with HP and while doing other stuff in between (like washing my clothes, cleaning up the kitchen,..) I still managed to read 200 pages.

I wanted to read 50 pages of Pride and Prejudice, but I have to admit I'm not really fond of the story. I really thought I was going to like it, but it's way different than I expected and it's kind of boring me. I'm almost halfway and literally nothing has happened.. I'm thinking of not reading it anymore and reading The Great Gatsby instead, but I only have the Dutch edition and I'd rather read the original.. So I'm kind of conflicted..

I think I'm just going to read another 50 pages of HP and if I still have time, try to continue with Pride and Prejudice. That way I'll finish the '300 pages a day' challenge for today.

I'm also going to make a video at the end of the week (or later, cause my face will be swollen after my surgery) about how it went.

I won't be able to read much tomorrow since I have an appointment and I have to work in the evening, but I'll try to read as much as possible in between! For the ones participating: how are your challenges going to far? :3

p.s. don't let the wrackspurts get you!~

C'est le temps de l'amour, le temps des copains et de l'aventure ♥

Today has been a lovely day. I woke up early, around 9am (yeah that's early for me xD) because I got post and my mum and sister's present for me arrived <3

I'm soo happy. From the moment I watched Moonrise Kingdom for the first time I was in love with it. I love it so much. I watched it in a time where I had some struggles and it helped me through and made me feel so much better and gave me hope. So for my birthday I asked the dvd and soundtrack cd (cause the music is really amazing! It's mostly composed by Alexandre Desplay, who also wrote music for the last Harry Potter films) and it arrived today! My mum and sister haven't seen it yet so I asked if we can all watch it together this evening, so I hope they'll like it :3

So after my breakfast I also arranged some stuff for my school (that's another story, maybe I'll tell later) and in the afternoon we went shopping, me and my mum. We really had a lovely day, we looked together and helped each other choose. 

Also bought a red velvet hat :3


I love sales  (⌒▽⌒)☆

✿Inspiring Monday✿

Today was way too hot, so the best thing to do was staying inside and blogging (obviously). I've been tumbling and watching House M.D. the whole day basically. Meantime I thought of sharing some inspiring stuff.




------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


That's it for today. Maybe I should share inspiring stuff every Monday? I think I'm going to do that :3
For now, enjoy the heat (ahum) and have a lovely week!

OOTD: Geek Monkey

Today my inner Cosima spoke to me and I decided to try out her make-up. For the ones who don't know her, I'm talking about Cosima Niehaus from Orphan Black.

I didn't have a picture with me so I tried it out with what I remembered. I also found a dress that reminded me of something she would wear or at least the print.

The make-up

The dress is basically a long dress with this print

Her outfits are absolutely amazing and I really want her wardrobe! I went to the city to look for a skirt that looks like hers, but couldn't find it. Better luck next time. Also, she's one of my faves of the show (together with Helena) and she makes me want to go to the library and geek out. I'll probably do that this weekend :3

Yeah I called this post Geek Monkey because of reasons. If you've watched OB you'll understand, if you haven't, you should! It's only 10 episodes and one season (but don't worry, season 2 is on it's way) and if you like sci-fi/crime sort of style, you're surely going to like it!

Tomorrow I'm going to a bookfair with a friend and we're going to disneybound Sleeping Beauty. My friend as Aurora and me as Maleficent (ow yeah). I'm looking forward to it! :3
