✿ What else I've been up to this week ✿

1. Sign-up for Dewey's 24h read-a-thon. I've participated in this event once before, and it was so crazy and wonderful at the same time! I think I slept only 4h during the event and read like a madwoman, but oh man, it was so fun. Count me in!

2. Super boring reading week. I have been prepping myself for the upcoming exams, and even though I'm having a rather chilled pace with my reading, I already feel a bit exhausted. I tend to stress too much, too soon. I need to take a chill pill.

4. Frozen. I watched that movie for the third time within a month. I'm just so obsessed with it! I know Frozen isn't perfect but there are so many excellent things in it as well (the music, the relationships, the themes, the beautiful animation).

5. Game of Thrones returns. I'm not sure if I can even express my enthusiasm, excitement and eagerness in words?? I'm so stoked about the new season as there's going to be some of favourite twists coming up. Jsdfjsljflskg!!

How has was your week?

    1. Haha, I'm glad I'm not going insane by myself then! :D I can't believe it has been almost over a year since the last season!! And you should try the readathon. :) I don't need to read 24h, you can read as you normally do. The event is a good way to find some new blogs and participate in different challenges.

      Thanks for stopping by! :)

  2. I love the Unearthly series, even though angel books normally aren't my thing. I'll go check out your review of it next.
    I own Under the Never Sky, but stil haven't read it. I keep hearing great things about this series.
    Good luck with your upcoming exams and I hope you have some more time to read soon!

    1. Yeah, I think Cynthia Hand depicts the angel element in a well working manner - it's not too pushy but not too subtle either. :) I still need to read Boundless from the series, though. Maybe I'll read it next!

      Under the Never Sky was an okay read for me, I just couldn't' get into the world that well.

      Thanks for stopping by. :)

    1. Haha, I'm planning to make a really careful plan when to read, eat, sleep, etc. so that I can take the best out of the event. :) I hope you're trying again sometime, though?
