25 Days of Booklr (2018!)

Day Thirteen | A book that kept you up all night

The Diviners by Libba Bray

“Some mornings, she’d wake and vow, Today, I will get it right. I won’t be such an awful mess of a girl. I won’t lose my temper or make unkind remarks. I won’t go too far with a joke and feel the room go quiet with disapproval. I’ll be good and kind and sensible and patient. The sort everyone loves. But by evening, her good intentions would have unraveled. She’d say the wrong thing or talk a little too loudly. She’d take a dare she shouldn’t, just to be noticed. Perhaps Mabel was right, and she was selfish. But what was the point of living so quietly you made no noise at all? “Oh, Evie, you’re too much,” people said, and it wasn’t complimentary. Yes, she was too much. She felt like too much inside all the time. So why wasn’t she ever enough?”

Mini life update

Hey guysssss, 

Sorry I’ve been gone so long. I’ve been having a really rough time the last few months, but I’m finally starting to feel like myself again. 
Uni has been awful and hectic and my dissertation is due in like 2 weeks and I’m only about half way done so I wanna cry buuut I’ve made loads of progress the last few days and I think I’m gonna get it done in time so wooo. 

Also I’d been commuting to uni on the bus (1 ½ hour each way D: ) buuut I finally found a place to live in the city thats like a 5 minute walk from uni which has made so much difference so far this week, so things are starting to look up! 

And with uni, I think i’ll be in a good place after christmas once i’ve submitted my project, and be able to start fresh next semester and work hard to get the grades i want before i graduate! 

I still won’t be posting really until after christmas because I have so much to do, but just wanted to let you know I’m still around and I’m okay :)

“I firmly believe that some books were meant to be read through in a single sitting. My adult responsibilities do not like this, but what do they know?”
