Well this was a busy March! There were definitely some ups and downs, and I also feel like I wasn't as "in" to reading as I have been before, but now I am in my last month of school and exams are coming!!
What I Read:
The Lady of Shalott by: Alfred Lord Tennyson: 5/5 stars
The Dead by: James Joyce: 3/5 stars
Discoucia by: Nicholas Lovelock: 3/5 stars
Station Eleven by: Emily St. John Mandel: 5/5 stars
Three Dark Crowns by: Kendare Blake: 4/5 stars
I had to re-read Station Eleven to prevent a reading slump so that was obviously my fave of this month, and overall I just read a lot of poetry and stuff for English class.
What I Blogged:
My favourite post of this month was What Being a Writer Means to Me. I thought it was a good time to reflect on writing pressures and the meaning of the word: writer.
Favourite Blog Posts:
Cee talks about Pressures and Not Feeling "Good Enough."
Veronika talks about Stuff that Pisses Her Off in Books
Amy shares What She's Currently Writing
Life Stuff:
Well, I failed my driving test for the third time. That wasn't fun. But on a positive note, I did get a job!! I'm actually more nervous than anything to be honest because I have a huge fear of screwing up and this is my first proper job. Hopefully all will go well. Now I'm also into exams as well which will surely take up a lot of my time.
What did you get up to in March?

Oh no, I'm sorry to hear about your driving test :( But glad to hear you got a job! Well done! And I really need to read both Three Dark Crowns and Discoucia too - had them for too long now!
ReplyDeleteThanks Charlotte! Three Dark Crowns was a recommendation for me and I’m happy I gave it a shot! It was such a cool concept!
DeleteYikes, I'm sorry your driving test didn't turn out well BUT YAY ABOUT THE JOB!!! I hope it would go greatly for you. Good luck with the exams as well, Em! <3 March wasn't particularly eventful for me, it was mostly uni and stuff but I did go on holiday last weekend- the beach, or rather, a lagoon- and it was fun. I loved spending time with my extended family (for once, lol). Anyhoo- here's hoping April is even better for all of us!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ruzaika <3 That’s great that you got to spend some quality time with family! Hopefully uni will treat us both well in the coming months :)
DeleteCongrats on the job! You won't screw up, because whatever you do is what it's supposed to be ;) Hugs and good vibes! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks sooooo much for the link - you're amazing! :)
Thanks Cee <3 And no problem, you're amazing too :D
DeleteLooks like you had a really good reading month. I really want to read Station Eleven as well as Three Dark Crowns soon. They both sound amazing. I hope April is a good reading month for you as well.
ReplyDeleteStation Eleven is my favourite book of all time. I hope you’ll give it a go! Have a great April, Abby :)
DeleteGood luck with exams!! And congrats about the job!! That is amazing. Good for you.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to be taking my learners soon, and I'm so nervous about that and driving ;) But then I worry about everything, lol. Hopefully it'll go well!!
Hope you have a great April, Emily :) And thanks for linking to my post <3
Thanks Amy! Honestly this is easier said than done but I found when I worried too much in the car it made me make stupid mistakes so just take each decision you make slowly and try your best to calm yourself when you’re doing it. I’m sure you’ll do great!
DeleteCongratulations on the job Emily! How was Three Dark Crowns? I've had that one on my TBR for a long time now. :/ Happy April & good luck on your exams!

Thanks Anna! I really liked it! It got kinda slow in the middle but I just finished the sequel and the story has really picked up now! Definitely a really cool concept :)
