January round-up

On February 1, 2017March 26, 2017 By bookskepticIn Thoughts1 Comment

Last January I managed to read 10 books, a lot more than I read on a typical month. Did I start this year with a similar bang? Yes and no. I did read 12 books and liked all of them, but on blogging front it was a bit quiet, because of my new job, also …

December round-up

On January 4, 2017December 31, 2016 By bookskepticIn Thoughts1 Comment

2016 is gone, I'm not sure if it's a good or a bad thing, but let's not dwell on that, looking forward is probably the best way now. December was not easy reading-wise, I changed work, there was travelling home for Christmas and catching up with family and friends, so not much time left for …

November round-up

On December 3, 2016January 14, 2017 By bookskepticIn Thoughts3 Comments

It seems that like all months this year November just raced by, maybe it's for the best less time for thinking about the sorry state of world affairs...Reading-wise it was not a bad month, but it was actually only saved on Monday when I read two books in one day, that does not happen to …

October round-up

On November 2, 2016December 18, 2016 By bookskepticIn ThoughtsLeave a comment

October has been busy with my mind coming back to regular routine, no more long travels, no more distractions and summer is over. It took me a while to get used to it, but I think now I'm in the proper slow, calm, lazy autumn mood. My blanket is my best friend, together with books …

September round-up

On October 9, 2016November 20, 2016 By bookskepticIn Thoughts2 Comments

Welcome back! September round up is a bit delayed and I've been quiet last month. I'm almost willing to say that it was a planned break o give you all a bit of rest... but it wasn't, it was a mix of wonderful vacation in Spain and not so wonderful root canal treatment (I do …

August round-up

On September 2, 2016November 13, 2016 By bookskepticIn Thoughts1 Comment

August was a lovely month, I probably liked it so much because I finally got to go on vacation. I'm absolutely in love with Ireland, so much that I'm thinking on writing a separate post on the trip, but first I need to go through 1,600 photos I took and pick the ones I want …

July round-up

On August 2, 2016October 30, 2016 By bookskepticIn Thoughts2 Comments

July just flew by, I still struggle to focus on anything for more than 15 minutes at a time (still fighting not to read news so much), so I'm a bit behind with 20 Books of Summer hosted by Cathy at 746books, I finished 11 books, working on the 12th, there's still a month to go so …

June round-up

On July 8, 2016October 30, 2016 By bookskepticIn Thoughts3 Comments

Time for a late round up. June was not great reading wise, I have been busy with other things and trying to spend every second when the sun showed up outside (this is not that many seconds in London). I managed to read only five books, but I liked them all, so that's a good …

May round-up

On May 31, 2016September 2, 2016 By bookskepticIn Thoughts3 Comments

  May was a good month, spring has finally started so I had my first days spent in the park with a book. I'm slowly working my way through all the books I have, no longer on a book buying ban, but still managed to buy less than I read in a month, I'm very …

April round-up

On May 4, 2016May 30, 2016 By bookskepticIn Thoughts3 Comments

Book buying ban is definitely over. I didn't stick to it in April and decided to call it a day, I managed 3 months and that's as long as I could expect. Reading was good in April, I read more serious things than usual, mainly because I was trying to finish the Neapolitan Series and …
