October round-up

On November 4, 2018May 5, 2019 By bookskepticIn Thoughts1 Comment

October is over and I'm not sure if to be happy or sad. It was a difficult month, coming back to full-time regular work after six weeks of travelling was not easy. Especially if I spent the last Saturday in September on the beach only to come back to a Sunday in the UK that …

September round-up

On October 3, 2018May 5, 2019 By bookskepticIn ThoughtsLeave a comment

I cannot pretend anymore that it's still summer. The time has come when I wake up before sunrise and that makes it official for me - autumn is upon us! Being in Spain for the last two weeks of September helped to sustain the illusion that summer is not over, but the UK kindly welcomed …

August round-up

On September 5, 2018May 5, 2019 By bookskepticIn Thoughts1 Comment

August is over, but I am not ready to say my goodbyes to the summer just yet, with another vacation planned in September in sunny Spain. August has been a very good month. I finished my #20booksofsummer and I had amazing two weeks in Portugal. For #20booksofsummer I still have nine reviews to write, but they …

July round-up

On August 1, 2018May 5, 2019 By bookskepticIn Thoughts3 Comments

July was a busy month, I have been with my mum to a Rolling Stones concert in Warsaw, which was amazing despite absolutely horrible acoustics in the stadium (but then who came up with the idea of stadium concerts is beyond me, clearly they are designed to echo). Then on the following weekend I happened …

June round-up

On July 4, 2018December 18, 2018 By bookskepticIn Thoughts1 Comment

First half of the year is gone, my brain still claims it is March, despite the beautiful weather in the last two months. Some obvious disconnect between my perception of time and what is actually going on, but I won't be bothered about it, clearly it is the world that goes too quick not my …

May round-up

On June 2, 2018August 30, 2018 By bookskepticIn Thoughts3 Comments

May has been very gracious with the weather, it feels like from early spring we jumped right into summer and I am not going to complain about this. I love the sun and the warmth and I really hope it'll stay this way for another few months. What I cannot believe is that only 3 …

April round-up

On May 2, 2018May 5, 2019 By bookskepticIn Thoughts3 Comments

April's gone! Spring's here, even if a little cold and unstable weather-wise. Since the time change at the end of March, my mood has significantly picked up, and so has my enjoyment of reading. I am so happy the dark months are over! I am a bit behind on reviewing, but with a new dose …

March round-up

On April 1, 2018May 28, 2018 By bookskepticIn Thoughts2 Comments

The first quarter is gone, but I have exactly the same feeling as I had last year, that the year only just started. I hope I will shake that feeling off once the spring finally comes. Officially it is here, but I think no one told the weather. It was an average month reading-wise, I …

February round-up

On March 1, 2018March 31, 2018 By bookskepticIn ThoughtsLeave a comment

February is over and I couldn't be happier about it. Traditionally February is the worst month of the year for me, so at least it has the advantage of being short. Compared to last February this year has been a bit better reading-wise, I managed to finish five books. It has been a very varied month …

January round-up

On February 1, 2018May 5, 2019 By bookskepticIn ThoughtsLeave a comment

I'm happy that January is over, as now I only have one more month of darkness to survive! January went quite quickly and despite the lack of sun relatively painlessly (especially if you consider that it is traditionally one of the two worst months in a year for me). Reading-wise it was not a bad …
