December round-up

On January 4, 2018October 27, 2018 By bookskepticIn ThoughtsLeave a comment

December has been a very short month for me, I simply didn't notice where it went. This month I received so many gifts that I already posted about two book hauls (here and here) and there's one more post coming about my Christmas book haul. It is fantastic to have birthday in December πŸ™‚ I …

November round-up

On December 2, 2017December 27, 2017 By bookskepticIn Thoughts2 Comments

November was a weird month. I read a lot more than in October, mostly to escape what was happening in my family, for the first time in a while I actually consciously searched for an escape in books. As always reliable friends they helped me, even if my reading was less patient than usually and …

October round-up

On November 6, 2017December 27, 2017 By bookskepticIn Thoughts6 Comments

Welcome to my late, short and sweet October round-up. October has been a slow month for reading, actually I think the slowest this year. I only finished three books. Suddenly there were so many things eating up my time that the only time I had left for reading has been commute to work and I …

September round-up

On October 2, 2017December 27, 2017 By bookskepticIn Thoughts2 Comments

September is gone and all pretending that it is still summer has to end. As much as I love summer, part of me is ready for autumn, for the smell of fallen leaves, a bit shorter days, more excuses to stay in and read. What I am dreading is winter, with its completely dark days, …

August round-up

On September 1, 2017October 14, 2017 By bookskepticIn Thoughts1 Comment

August was a very slow month reading wise, I probably needed to slow down after the manic July and finishing #20booksofsummer a month early, so I took my time with the books I read. Also it probably didn't help that I started some courses on linear algebra and data science, jumping back into maths an …

July round-up

On August 1, 2017October 14, 2017 By bookskepticIn Thoughts5 Comments

Whoosh! And July is over. I was on vacation in the first week of July, have been back for three weeks now, but it feels like it was just a second ago. This month most of my reading was done while on vacation and since I had time I read plenty of books, this probably …

June round-up

On July 3, 2017July 3, 2017 By bookskepticIn Thoughts6 Comments

When this post is published I hope to be enjoying my time on the beach on Baltic sea, so I am writing this in advance, therefore forgive me if it will not be the exact round-up of my June. So far it has been a good reading month, I joined  20 Books of Summer challenge and …

May round-up

On June 1, 2017October 14, 2017 By bookskepticIn Thoughts2 Comments

May is gone, no idea how that happened, because my mind still firmly believes we're somewhere in March. It got warmer and it got sunnier and I appreciate it, but my brain is clearly in denial, maybe because I really do feel I should start exercising again and cannot use short days as an excuse …

April round-up

On May 1, 2017June 4, 2017 By bookskepticIn ThoughtsLeave a comment

April didn't necessarily bring spring to London, but it certainly did to Madrid, where I spent a wonderful weekend. Reading-wise the month started so well that in the last week I decided to finally tackleΒ It by Stephen King, at almost 1400 pages it is a bit intimidating book. Luckily I have it on my Kindle, …

February round-up

On March 6, 2017March 4, 2017 By bookskepticIn Thoughts8 Comments

Unlike January, February was an awful month reading wise and not so bad when it came to blogging. I managed to finish just 1 book, I just could not focus on anything with the amount of stress I had at work. My attention span dwindled to one page at a time and then my mind …
