What did I even do this week I’m not joking I don’t remember anything from before Thursday???
* Honestly can’t relate to that song it’s freezing hell no am I going anywhere
I continued to reread Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and am almost done. I’ll probably finish it tonight. I’m tempted to continue my reread after, but I’m also very very tempted to read some new books that I’ve gotten for Sinterklaas – OH YEAH THAT HAPPENED THIS WEEK TOO. I rememberย somethingย that happened before Thursday. My memory didn’t completely fail me yay
DID ANY OF YOU WATCH BROOKLYN NINE NINE THIS WEEK BECAUSE NO SPOILERS BUT I’M SO HAPPY IT’S FINALLY CANON AND THAT THEY ACTUALLY DID THAT. DURING THE 99TH EPISODE
Like my revelation in the previous section revealed, it was Sinterklaas (a holiday) this week. I needed to go to the bank and my mom needed to buy a gif for my cousin, so I didn’t really have the time to do much else since once we got back we immediately ate dinner and then left for my aunt’s house. My cousin no longer believes in Sinterklaas (he’s like our Santa) but it was still fun. I mean, a holiday with lots of chocolate and presents, how can that not be fun?
I didn’t take any pictures because I’m incredibly lazy* but I got: Pokemon Ultra Sun; Eliza and her Monsters; None of the Above; Always and Forever, Lara Jean; Girls Made of Snow and Glass; Marie from The Aristocats slippers; Wonder Woman thights and a chocolate letter (it’s tradition to get a chocolate letter during this holiday, usually the first letter of your name but sometimes you’re out of luck and your letter is all sold out)
* And very comfy underneath my Eeyore blanket
So I know I said I didn’t remember anything beforeย Thursday, but Thursday wasn’t that special so I’m skipping that one. On Friday I met up with a friend from secondary school who know lives in Rotterdam where she’s also studying. While I had a lot of fun with her, the weather was horrible. There was a strong wind (my friend had brought an umbrella so she was almost Mary Poppins), rain and hail which made it even colder than it already was. It was such a relief whenever we got inside haha.
And now it’s snowing and it probably will tomorrow too so guess who’s not leaving the house
I didn’t write this week, but I might later today? I want to write some blog posts for this week first, so I’m not sure if I’ll feel up for it later, but who knows.
๐ย I started a new feature for the holidays: Merry Christmas Ya Beautiful Bloggers, in which I highlight some amazing bloggers
๐ย I did the All Hallows Write tag, in which I answered Halloween related questions about my characters
๐ย I reviewed Vengeance Road, which had a lot of potential but I was bored
It’s so easy to get behind again haha. Earlier this week I was on top of all the blog posts I needed to read* and now?? Very, very behind. Oh well, here are some posts I liked:
๐ Marie @ Drizzle and Hurricane Books talks about how to find and read only books you loveย
๐ Aentee @ Read at Midnight created another fun readathon, this time inspired by Animal Crossing Pocket Camp
๐ Jackie @ Too Much of a Book Nerd shares 4 reasons why The November Girl should be on your TBR
๐ Julianna @ Blots of Ink and Words thought of some great inventions that all us bookworms need in our lives asap
๐ Em @ Yellow’s the Word shares her favourite things about Christmas
๐ Elm @ Just Call Me Elm or something wrote a beautiful poem called ‘Side Characters in My Own Story’ย
๐ Kat @ Life and Other Disasters created the fun Winter is Here Write Tag
๐ Holly @ Nut Free Nerd talks about Christmas at Oxfordย
๐ Sarah @ Written Word Worlds shares some pretty special editions
* At least that’s how I felt haha
How has your week been? Is it really cold where you live too? DID YOU WATCH BROOKLYN NINE NINE?
Thanks again for the shoutout and I am just so proud of B99 for everything they do. One of the best shows out there.
You’re welcome! Yes agreed. B99 is such a great show and very underrated. They deserve so much more praise and love for everything they do!
I’ve rarely seen a show THAT inclusive and on such a constant level of greatness while remaining perfectly hilarious at the same time.
Same! It’s a treasure and I really hope we’ll get a sixth season :D
Oohh that’s so cool! You basically have two Christmases!๐
I really liked your new feature, spreading the all the loveeeโค It’s snowing where I am as well! It’s quite a lot so I’m hoping my school is closed tomorrow๐๐ค๐พ
Yeah it is! Thank you โค Haha hope your school will be closed ๐
No problem!๐ And luckily it was closed today! Tomorrow as well๐
IT IS VERY COLD OUTSIDE HERE TOO. I am unprepared for this coldness!! Aah! I’m glad Sinterklaas was fun as well! I’m not caught up on Brooklyn 99 alas but I AM VERY EXCITED BY SAID THING. (I was spoiled by the entire internet, oops.)
AHH WE SHALL SUFFER TOGETHER EVE. Same here! I feel like it suddenly went from cold to COLDโข
Ahhh yeah I was very lucky to not get spoiled for this one (did get spoiled for another thing earlier this season) BUT YES IT’S VERY EXCITING AND I CAN’T WAIT FOR THE NEXT EP
IT IS SO COLD I’M SO CONFUSED WHAT IS THIS. Aah I am so happy yay!
Oh it is SO COLD, I hate the cold and winter, give me summer back right now hahahaha. I love your gif choice here, that Friends gif is the best hahhaa. <3
Thank you so, so much for sharing my post! <3
I am so glad you got Eliza and Her Monsters, soooooo want to read that one :)
Hope you'll have an amazing week!! xx
Yes same haha. I was okay with the weather at the start of autumn, but this winter weather?? No thank you take it back please haha
You’re welcome! โค
Yes I can’t wait to read it :D Thank you you too Marie โค
Aaaaaah I didn’t get spoiled yet but want to see the episode RIGHT NOW! This needs to happen today haha.
Ohh that’s impressive! I’ve seen spoilers everywhere (thankfully after I watched the ep thankfully) Go watch it!!!
Just watched it! โค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ
Yay!
Yay snow!! This weekend it snowed where I live too for the first time this season and everything looks SO PRETTY <3 I love it!
Thanks so much for the shout out! :)
Ahh same! I don’t like the cold but everything looked so pretty and magical.
You’re welcome! :)
I didn’t watch B99 but I HEARD ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED AND THAT’S SO AMAZING!!! <3 And omg I hope you love Eliza and Her Monsters! It is SUCH a good book and I can't believe I only heard of it until after it released. And OMG. IT SNOWED IN TEXAS. IT HASN'T SNOWED WHERE I LIVE IN THE PAST 7 YEARS. I WENT INSANE OH MY GOD.
ISN’T IT?! I STILL CAN’T GET OVER IT!!! I have some mixed feelings about Eliza – it was really good, but unfortunately at some point it got too triggering for me :/ I really enjoyed it before that though!
OMG?! THAT’S SO WEIRD
Aww, I’m sad to hear it for triggering for you! Will you be putting up a review of it soon on the blog? I’d love to read it!!
I’m not sure yet! I’m afraid that writing the review will be triggering as well, but we’ll see. Maybe I just need some time away from the book :)
Aw, if you think writing the review will be triggering, don’t do it! Your health is more important than anything. ๐
I drove through the snow on monday. I am a snow conquerer, haha. Sounds like you got some great Sint gifts. :D
Haha that’s really impressive! There was a lot of snow here.
Yeah I did! :) Did you get anything, or only Merijn?
Merijn got all the good stuff ๐
Whoops, sorry for only seeing this now but thank you SOOO much for mentioning one of my posts!!! It means so much. AND OH MY GOSH WHAT HAPPENED ON THE BROOKLYN NINE NINE EPISODE (i don’t wanna spoil but JSDFSKDGSGNJ) MEANS SO MUCH TO ME IT’S HONESTLY ONE OF /THE/ BEST THINGS THAT EVER HAPPENED TO ME AND I LOWKEY CRIED WHEN THE CHARACTER (again, no spoilers) UTTERED THE WORDS <333
That’s okay! You’re welcome :) YES SAME HERE I WAS REALLY HOPING THEY’D MAKE IT CANON BUT LIKE,, BEEN DISAPPOINTED SO MANY TIMES AND B99 DID THAT
