Two days late, but better late than never right? I was going to post this Sunday evening, but was suddenly too exhausted. Same story yesterday when I got home, so here we are! Let’s wrap up this week shall we?
Oh boy, looking at my Goodreads shows me that this week wasn’t too good:
- Darkness Reigns (The Kinsman Chronicles #1.1? Was this not the entire first book? What) by Jill Williamson ★
- Magic of Thieves (Legends of Dimmingwood #1) by C. Greenwood ★
- Crushed (The Witch-Game #1) by Kasi Blake ★
Yep. Thankfully Wink Poppy Midnight made up for it. Wink Poppy Midnight was my first book for the ReadThemAllThon hosted by Aentee and now I’ve started Persuasion.
The weather was finally nice again on Wednesday, so my mom and I went out to enjoy the sun. I also took some bookstagram photos and some photos for a future Blogsterdam post. I felt like such a good blogger haha.
Sadly the nice weather was already over the next day when I went shopping with a friend. It was pretty much raining all day, but it didn’t bother us (that much haha). We had some delicious donuts, that had filling inside of them. I had a stroopwafel one (stroopwafels would literally translate to ‘syrup waffle’):
We’re definitely going there again; we want to try more donuts haha. Favourite quote of the day from my friend: ‘where are we going to eat next’. I’ve got the right friends haha (we’re most likely going to get pizza)
I’m also trying to work on my health, because even though I eat pretty healthy (SHE SAYS AFTER POSTING A PICTURE OF A DONUT OH MY GOD THIS IS SO UNBELIEVABLE 😂) I don’t do any sports or anything, so I’m trying to walk more. Bless Pokemon Go for existing, though I’m also going to try to just listen to music.
And what’s happening with my tv shows? I loved yesterday’s episode of The Fosters which focused on the girls’ robotics team and remember how in my post about tv shows that I’m currently watching I wrote that I couldn’t really get into Supergirl? Guess who finished the rest of the season within a week. I don’t know if the first three episodes were just slow or if I wasn’t in the mood to watch it, but I’m addicted. So while waiting for season 2 I’ve now started The Flash.
- I talked about one of my favourite cities: Rome
- I talked about what I learned from reading Fairy Tales From the Brothers Grimm
- I created The Amsterdam Book Tag
- I finally reviewed The Hidden Oracle
- I finally did the Summer Book Tag after a year
- I wrote a follow-up to my post about Arden Cho being fired from Teen Wolf on The Feministas
I did pretty well last week, especially since all of these were scheduled. I think I’ve got one scheduled for this week? And I still haven’t scheduled anything for when school starts again – eek!
- McKenzie wonders where the introverts in books are
- Fadwa talks about a Morrocan bookstore that sells English books
- Sydney wrote a post about women in Olympics
- Marie is back!
- Becca talks about Book Commitment Issues and how to recover
- Ashleigh created cute canvas wall art and includes a DIY
- Eve went to the VE Schwab event at Waterstones
And that was my week! How was yours? What did you read? Are you participating in the ReadThemAllThon? How are you doing? Let me know in the comments!
Thank you Michelle for mentionning my post 😍
Oh and I watch the fosters too and LOVED the episode. I started Supergirl last week and I’m hooked but I’m still working on season 1 😂
You’re welcome! I loved it :D Right?! It was such a good episode. Definitely one of my favourites. Ooh nice! It just gets better and better each episode :D I can’t wait for season 2 to start!
But Marianna kind of scared the crap out of mind a little bit 😂 she’s soooo competitive !
For now I can’t wait to watch the flash/supergirl crossover!
Haha yeah she is! I think it’s also because of all the pressure she’s under though, because she’s the first girl leader and she wants to prove those sexist boys wrong. She did need to tone it down a bit during the competition though lol.
That was such a fun episode and I hadn’t even watched The Flash yet when I saw it! I loved it :D
Yeah ! It’s totally understandable but she could’ve went about it in a better way, I think it’ll get worse before if gets better though hahaha!
Aaah I’m so excited to get to it ! I love the flash soo much and I decided to start supergirl just for that episode 😁
Yeah definitely, we haven’t seen the worst yet haha. Ooh cool! I already wanted to watch The Flash before I watched that episode, but after that I really wanted to watch it :D
The flash is one of my favorite TV shows, you should really watch it !
I watched two episodes yesterday and really enjoyed it! :D
DONUTS I love donuts where was that I need to go now ahah. Yes other than that, I eat healthy just like you haha :P
The Fosters!! Funny story, I never watched this series until my sister watched an episode the other day and I got sucked in, so I saw that episode with the robotics and Mariana going crazy and I am officially worried for her.
Thank you SO much for sharing my post! <3
Haha we thought it was a separate shop, but it’s inside a Frozen Yoghurt shop in the Reguliersbreestraat. Seriously if you do not know that you’ll easily pass it! But it’s definitely worth it :P Haha yeah Mariana has a lot of pressure on her right now! Though I didn’t want her to lose it, I did kind of want her to punch that guy that said ‘for a girl’. You’re welcome! ❤
Ohhh well I need to keep that place in mind for the next time I come then :)
I’m on the second Kinsman Chronicles novella and stressing out SO BAD because I see horrible things about to happen.
And seriously, God bless Pokémon Go. As we’re saying in America, that app did more to fight childhood obesity in 24 hours than Michelle Obama did in 8 years, LOL.
Oh no I hate that feeling! I hope nothing TOO bad will happen :( Haha true!
Ow that sounds like a bad week of reading. Hope this week will be better. Oh those donuts 😍
I hope so too! It was DELICIOUS! Definitely recommend it
Thank you for mentioning one of my posts!! :D Hope you have a better week of reading after this one!
You’re welcome! It’s going better so far haha, thankfully!
Thank you for providing another book for my TBR list (King’s Folly), and another lovely blog to follow (the one about books and tea)!
I’m glad you got at least one day of nice weather. It’s been unbearably hot here in the States.
You’re welcome! I hope you’ll enjoy it more than me, but maybe I didn’t enjoy it that much because apparently it wasn’t even the entire book 😂 The weather has been nice every since I wrote that post haha! Though according to the forecast today will be the last day of sunshine. Aww it’s nice if it’s warm, but not if it’s THAT hot :/
Oh my gosh your photo made me SO HUNGRY. And THE FOSTERS. I MUST WATCH. BUT #READTHEMALLTHON. BUT THE FOSTERS. THIS IS AN IMPOSSIBLE DECISION.
-Amy
SORRY. I HOPE YOU COULD EAT GOOD FOOD AFTER SEEING THAT PHOTO. AND YES YOU MUST. YOU CAN TAKENA 45 MINUTE BREAK TO WATCH IT. THOUGH DURING THOSE MINUTES YOU CAN ALSO READ. AGH. IT IS AN IMPOSSIBLE ONE
AH I COULDN’T. BUT I SHALL NOW. I JUST WOKE UP AT 12 SO IT’S LUNCH BUT…. FOOD.
NOOOOO I CANNOT! I’M SO BEHIND!
AAAH FOOD IS IMPORTANT TOO THOUGH (CAN’T YOU WATCH AND EAT AT THE SAME TIME?)
I COULD WATCH AND EAT BUT I EAT FASTER THAN I WATCH. DOES THAT MAKE ANY SENSE???
YES IT DOES I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU MEAN. I’M ALWAYS SO TEMPTED TO GET MORE FOOD BECAUSE OF THAT
YES ME TOO. AND I USUALLY DO BECAUSE I NEED AN EXCUSE TO KEEP WATCHING. IT’S A HUGE PROBLEM.
I think the only exercise I get these days are Pokemon Go and walking my dog, so I could really do with trying to get healthy myself! Although I am climbing Mount Snowdon for charity soon, so that should be good exercise (although I probably should have trained!) :)
Pokemon Go and walking your dog IS exercise though, it’s better than not doing anything at all :P
Oh wow that will definitely be good exercise! Good luck :)
I’m sorry your reading this week wasn’t the best! Lol, I love the donut comment :) It’s so hard to be healthy when there’s so much delicious food!
Thankfully this week has been much better reading-wise already! Haha it is! Every time I’m on the right path I’m getting cravings for chocolate and chips again 😂
You’re welcome! I’m glad :)
[…] have The Writing Hufflepuff to thank for this one, and it wasn’t even a review or recommendation! Rather her typical […]
I AM SO SORRY FOR THREE ONE-STAR READS. NO READER DESERVES SUCH A FATE ESPECIALLY NOT THE SWEET MICHELLE.
Firstly, lemme just drool at that donut. Secondly, me too! I’m trying to work out more and drink more water and eat a bit healthier too. I don’t think I was too bad to begin with, but there’s definitely room for improvement. I’m with ya, sista!
Thaaaaaanks for showing my post! You are just super duper sweet :)
THANK YOU THANKFULLY MY READING HAS BEEN BETTER SINCE. It was soooo good. Yay let’s be healthy together or at least try haha. Yeah same here. It wasn’t too bad, mainly I just need to exercise more lol. You’re welcome! I loved it 😊
Wink Poppy Midnight has, like, the NICEST cover but I haven’t got round to reading it yet. (It seems kind of…weird? I don’t know. Like it might be a weird book haha.) I am still gradually making my way through the ReadThemAllThon TBR but I’m definitely not going to read all the books I wanted to! And thanks so much for the shout-out aah <3
It is weird! But I found it a good kind of weird haha. The beginning was a bit slow and I wasn’t sure if I was going to like it, but at some point I just couldn’t stop reading it and needed to know what was happening! Haha yeah same here. I was super motivated when I made my TBR but now? Nope lol You’re very welcome! ❤
*nods* Good kind of weird. That is excellent to hear. I feel like this is one I could either, like, love or hate? Hopefully they have it in the library haha. :P
Haha yeah I feel it’s definitely that kind of book. Hopefully!
[…] wrapped up July and all my weeks: #39 | #40 | […]
