I have thought about writing a monthly overview of the books I have read; at least about the ones that I have read or which are available in English, and today it’s a good day to start, don’t you think?
There weren’t so many books on February, as you can see, but among them we have one of the novels that I will include in the Best of the year list, The horse whisperer (review); another non-fiction, Hidden in plain sight (review), thanks to which I have discovered Norman Rockwell’s work; and a romantic novel by one of the authors I began to read last year and now I know I will look for every book by her, Caramel and Magnolias (review). The fourth book wasn’t as good as I expected: The Korean word for butterfly (review).
Besides, I also spent one afternoon making some bookmarks full of love 😀
Regarding my academic life, I had my exams at the beginning of the month, so I didn’t have so much time to read for pleasure, as you can imagine; but fortunately enough I did it well and passed all of them! It seems that I have found something I’m good at from the beginning, and it gives me the energy I need to keep on studying these subjects that are so different from everything I knew before.
It has been a great month. Now I’m ready for March!
Congratulations on passing your exams, Isi! I’m so happy you’ve found your passion. Continued success to you!
Thanks, Lori! The exams have been tough, but they were worth all the effort. I’m very happy I’m good at my new degree (in Law)
Yay for passing all your exams! Hope you will find some time for reading something else than school books this month.
Thanks, Ciska; I’m very happy too 🙂
And yes, sure this month I will read more novels!
I like this post, and was glad to see it in my reader 🙂 Well done on your exams, that’s awesome!
Thanks, Charlie!
I’m glad you like the monthly overview; I hope it makes me write a little bit more in English 🙂
Gambatte!!! (that means work hard in japanese)
Exactly, Shanny!! 😀
I worked hard so now I can relax (only a bit, though)
Congrats on doing well on your exams! Just in time- there’s lots of new reading out in March!
Indeed! I’m already catching up this month!
Congrats on passing!!
Thank you, Mel! It gives me more energy for the next exams!
