Hello you beautiful people out there,

I'M BACK! And that officially now! How are the lot of you doing? I do hope that you're nothing but absolutely fantastic. I'm very good myself since school is over now for good, how crazy! Well, that can only mean one positive thing for everyone: more blog posts! Super excited to finally be able to take care of my blog and to provide you with more content. Anyways, that was a long introduction, so how about you just grab yourself a cuppa, get comfy and keep on reading!

Now, I was thinking what to put up on the blog for my comeback and I've had an amazing idea. What better way to celebrate it than with another episode of our The Goodway Book Club? I couldn't possibly think of something better! Although I must say I've made this one a little bit different to the ones I did before.

Today I will share a selection of books, which I have gambled together, and which I'm going to read over the course of Summer. Best part - everyone is more than welcome to join in on this episode and to read with me some amazing books and review them together at the end of Summer. Sounds good to you? Well, you will love me after you've seen which books I've chosen 'cos there's something for everyone!

Girl Online Going Solo by Zoe Sugg

Penny's life is back to normal.

As Penny starts the school year she's ready to face the world - alone. Noah has gone off the radar after ending his world tour early and no one, including Penny, knows where he is. So when she accepts Megan's invitation to visit her performing arts school it seems like an opportunity to make some new friends.

Helping everyone seems to be the right remedy. Elliot needs her friendship more than ever, and she meets Posey - struggling with stage fright and in need of support. But is charming Scottish boy Callum the right kind of distraction? And can Penny truly move on when Noah's shadow seems to haunt her round every corner?


If you haven't read the first two books of the Girl Online series then you're really missing out on something. Zoe Sugg is such a lovely girl and I have been following her YouTube channel as well as her blog since the early days. When she brought out her first book I was well excited to read it, so it's no different to this one.

I Heart Paris by Lindsey Kelk

Angela is in the city of love - but romance is taking a nose-dive...

When Angela Clark's boyfriend Alex suggests a trip to Paris at the same time as hip fashion mag Belle asks her to write a piece, she jumps at the chance.

But even as she's falling for the joie de vivre of Paris, someone's conspiring to sabotage her big break. And when she spots Alex having a tête-á-tête with his ex in a local bar, Angela's dreams of Parisian passion start crashing around her.

With London and her old life only a train journey away, Angela can't decide if she should stay and face the music or run away home...


You knew this was coming, didn't you? Well, what shall I say? I just can't pass a good book from Lindsey Kelk, I just bloody love that woman. And this is another book in her I Heart - series, which, if you haven't already, you really need to give a go. I actually have a review of one of her books up on my blog already, so if you'd like to know my opinion on her books in more depth than click here.

All The Bright Places by Jennifer Niven

The story of a girl who learns to live from a boy who wants to die...

Theodore Finch wants to take his own life. I'm broken and no one can fix it.
Violet Markey is devastated by her sister's death. In that instant we went ploughing through the guardrail, my words died too.

They meet on the school bell tower, and so their story begins. It's only together they can be themselves...

I send a message to Violet: "You are all the colours in one, at full brightness."

You're so weird, Finch. But that's the nicest thing anyone's ever said to me.

But as Violet's world grows, Finch's begins to shrink. How far will Violet go to save the boy she has come to love?


A new author for once, would you believe it? I've had this book for quite some time sitting on my bookshelf untouched. What a shame! Now I finally got the time to crack it out and indulge the story of Violet and Finch. Are you going to join me?

Unfiltered - No Shame, No Regrets, Just Me. by Lily Collins

Opening up can be scary.

We worry that no one can relate to us or understand our problems.
We worry that our struggles define us and that our quirks make us weird. But believe me: if you open up and let go, the only thing you'll feel is free. Using your voice allows us to connect with another and realise we're never alone.
We are encouraged, inspired, and supported. The sooner we accept our stories for all that they are and the sooner we let go of the same, regrets, and fear surrounding our experiences - the sooner we can live, love and be loved.

The time to be unfiltered is now.


Yeah, might worth mentioning that Lily Collins is my icon. Like she's my absolute favourite woman on this planet, I LOVE her! She's amazing and I adore her for so many reasons that if I were to tell you all of 'em, we'd sit here for a long time. As soon as I saw that she had released her very own book, well, you can imagine that I went complete nuts *chuckle* let's just say I'm pumped to read this...

Be Careful What You Wish For by Alexandra Potter

I wish:

I could get a seat in the tube...
I hadn't eaten that entire bag Maltesers...
I could meet a man whose hobbies include washing up and monogamy...

Heather Hamilton is always wishing for things. Not just big stuff - like world peace, or that Bard Pitt wants her as his next leading lady - but little, everyday wishes made without thinking. With her luck, she knows they'll never come true...

Until one day she buys some heather from a gypsy. Suddenly the bad hair days stop. A handsome American answers her ad for a housemate. She starts seeing James - The Perfect Man who send her flowers, excels in the bedroom, and isn't afraid to say "I love you".

But are these wishes-come-true a blessing or a curse? Does getting what you want make you happy? And is there such a thing as too much foreplay?

In this magical romantic comedy, Alexandra Potter reveals what might happen if all your wishes really did come true...

And we're back with another splendid author.... yes, I know I'm very repetitive but, the truth is she's just a brilliant writer who knows how to catch one's attention and to keep it. Besides, who doesn't want all of their dreams to finally come true? Well, we'll have a look after we've read this, should we?

TH1RTEEN R3ASONS WHY by Jay Asher

Hello my shining stars,

and welcome back to Blogmas day ❅22❅! *Christmas song playing in the background* 3 days until the big day now! How crazy is that? I feel like December has gone quicker than I was able to say "Merry Christmas"... It's sad to be thinking that Christmas time will be over so soon, but I hope all of you are still enjoying the few days we have left! Anyways, let me stop rambling, grab yourself a hot chocolate, get all cosy and keep on reading!

Holly Brown has turned into the oh-so-famous Grinch. She hates Christmas itself and everything that is surrounded by it. But can you blame her after losing her beloved husband a few years ago near Christmas day and her grandma just a few weeks ago? Her husband being the one who taught her the true and lovely spirit of Christmas. These days she would do anything just to get away from all the Christmasy stuff and everyone who's in the festive spirit. So when her boss of the house sitting agency asks Holly to look after a house in Lancashire, she jumps at the opportunity to escape.

Jude Martland, the owner of the soon to be looked after house by Holly, tries to avoid Christmas at all costs as well. Poor Jude, saw his own brother run off with his fiancee the last Christmas, so no joy of celebrating festivities are left now. Though he is forced to soon return home, where he finds his house full of raging people, uninvited guests, one unwanted ex-fiancee and Tess seemingly being at the root of it all.

Whilst Holly has no shame at all for the now critical situation, Jude is ready to blame her for it. But Holly has soon come to realise that if she was searching for a place to avoid Christmas, she has come to the wrong place. This family is all about Christmas and looks forward to the festivities just as much as a child would to their presents.

Can Jude and Holly clean up the mess that Holly has done in the next twelve days until Christmas? And what will happen between the two of them after having this hate-love relationship? They will soon find themselves in a situation they never thought possible. This year is providing them with a Christmas story they shall never forget and discoveries which may change their lives forever.

This book was amazing! It has everything you would want a Christmas read to have. Beginning with the stunning sparkly cover of the book itself, and all the Christmas happenings in the story line. Trisha Ashley will have you feel like you're in the middle of the scenario yourself and sorting out the annual Christmas dramas from your family.

Cuddle up with a big cup of hot chocolate, a mince pie and a big cosy blanket and let yourself get glistened by this snowy and romantic Christmas book.


And that's it for this review today! I do hope you liked it if you did then please share this post over on your social medias! Also, make sure to let me know your opinion on this book in the comments down below and if you've read it! If you have any recommendations for future book club sessions then leave them down below too so I can check them out!

Hello my shining stars,

and welcome back to Blogmas day ❅20❅! *Christmas song playing in the background* I do hope that everyone's doing fine and that all of you are in the most festive spirit ever! Come on, it's only five days until Christmas from today, eeeeeeeek, I'm so excited! Anyways, I'm rambling, what's new, but without further ado, just grab yourself a hot chocolate, get all cosy and please keep on reading!

Tess Brookes had it all. A well-payed job, amazing friends, two men who were in love with her and that all whilst visiting two amazing countries like Hawaii and Milan.

Now Tess has landed back on planet earth and is punched in the face by reality. Made redundant, living in her best friends Amy's flat with Amy's roommates, following a dream that turns out to be harder to achieve than initially planned, as in working for a complete arsehole, and haven't heard anything in months from the two lovely men, Charlie and Nick. All whilst her best friend is making a career herself in the one and only New York City.

When everything seems to be at its worst, Tess packs her bags and books a last-minute flight to NYC, to join her best friend Amy and Kekipi for his approaching wedding. And who wouldn't want to spend Christmas in one of the most magical cities in the world? Once Tess stepped out into the world and got a taste of the New York lifestyle, she decides to make many changes all at once. And it wouldn't be a proper Lindsey Kelk book and all classy and clumsy Tess, if there weren't Nick who lives in the same city, and them hilariously bumping into each other.

Despite all the tough times Tess has had, she still regains her strength and positivism and gathers everything she has together and fights for her dreams. With her friends supporting her she finds herself rather successful and happy again! And then let's not forget about Nick, and Charlies of course. What's going to happen to them? Who is Tess going to choose?

Honestly I bloody LOVE Lindsey Kelk! I love the way she writes and her overall humor in general. I love the fact that you can just relate to all of the characters in her books and you really feel like you you're part of the story whilst reading it! There's no god-now-it's-getting-boring moment in her books whatsoever, you will only find yourself laughing out loud over tragically hilarious things, which have happened to us all!

If there is still someone you need a gift for for this Christmas, then I can assure you that this book is your friend! It's amazing in every possible way and I know that everyone's going to love it just as much as I did!


And that's it for my review of our first Christmas book of The Goodway Book Club - Christmas Edition! Let me know your thoughts on this book in the comments down below, I'd love to read them and to know how you liked it! Also make sure to come back in the next couple of days to read my second review! Want to read more? Then make sure you're subscribed to my blog so you'll never miss a single post of mine!

Who's your favourite character of A Girl's Best Friend?

Mary tobogganing offline xx

Hello, my beautiful friends,

and a warm welcome to Blogmas Day ❅1❅! *Christmas song playing in the background* I can't believe we're already into December and that Christmas is approaching us! Like where did this year go? I don't even know, but I'm very excited for this December as I'm going to try my best in doing Blogmas to the fullest! It's crazy to think that I have to start getting all the presents for my friends and family now especially with school being on my tail. To calm myself down I like to take some me time and get myself a good book so I can zone out of reality for a few hours and enjoy the story. So if you'd like to know which books I'm gonna have in my hands for the next couple of weeks then grab yourself a hot chocolate, get all cosy and keep on reading!



I know I haven't done a post about TheGoodway book club for quite a while and I really did miss it, but as I mentioned already, school is being very stressful at the moment which means that I haven't had and still don't have a lot of time to read anything else than school books... (very exciting woho). But it's even more important to read something different during such busy times than any other time, as you need to give your brain a little break every now and then to make sure you can relax to the fullest.

1. A Girl's Best Friend - Lindsey Kelk

For our first Christmas book, I have chosen another instalment of the beautiful books of one of my favourite authours! I have absolutely fallen in love with Lindsey Kelk's writing, thanks to the book club I have gotten to know her books and I couldn't be gladder! This very book was very kindly given to me by chummy, my best friend Zoe, last Christmas. Yes, I know I'm very bad for still haven't read it, but that's a plus side for you as I'm sharing this beauty with you now.

After the crazy six months she's had, if there was a 'clear history' button for your life, Tess Brookes would be the first in line to press it.

So when the opportunity arises to join her best friend, Amy, in New York for Christmas, Tess jumps at the chance. The only slight hitch is that Nick, the man who broke her heart, lives there. And Charlie, the man she turned down, has just started talking to her again. And she has just four days to take a photo for a competition that could save her career.

But aside from that, everything is going to be great: it'll be the best Christmas ever. Won't it?


This sounds like a perfect Holiday read to me! I would love to spend Christmas time in New York some time in my life and even better with my best friend, so what can go wrong with this book? Exactly, nothing! So if you're interested in reading this book then make sure to keep me up to date during reading time!

Review will be up: December the 19th

2. Twelve Days of Christmas - Trisha Ashley

For our second book I have chosen one of the classic topics, or at least that's how I would describe it, as I know that there are so many books out which are called "Twelve Days of Christmas". But this one in particular by Trish Ashley has caught my eye due to its beautiful design. Trish Ashley is a Sunday Times Bestselling author, who was born in St. Helens, Lancashire, UK.


The festive season has always been a sad time for young widow Holly Brown, so when she's asked to look after a remote house on the Lancashire moors, it's the perfect excuse to forget about the festivities.

The owner of the house, Jude Martland, is also avoiding Christmas since the last one saw his brother run off with his fiancée. But forced to return home unexpectedly, Jude arrives to find that his family are running amok - with Holly seemingly at the centre of it all.

As the blizzards descend, there is no escape. With nowhere to go, Holly and Jude get much more than they bargained for and it soon looks like the twelve days of Christmas are going to be very interesting indeed!


This sounds like one of those books that fill your Holiday season with lots of laughter whilst sipping on a hot cup of tea or hot chocolate. I can't wait to start reading this book!

Review will be up: December the 22nd 

Are you going to join in on The Goodway book club? Let me know by leaving me a comment down below, and don't forget if you do read it make sure to share your thoughts on the book during reading time with me on Twitter or any other social media, I'd love to see them!

PS.: What do you think of my festive touches on my blog? I'm in LOVE!

Hello my beautiful friends,

and welcome back to my blog! It's been a while since I last uploaded a new post, and I'm very sorry for that but life has been crazy lately. Anyway I am finally back with lots of goodies coming your way very soon and I am very happy to be back again. Let me stop rambling now, grab yourself a cuppa and let's get into today's post!

Today I'm going to share my review of our third book from "The Goodway Book Club" with you which is "Love from Paris" by the author Alexandra Potter. It was published by Hodder & Stoughton.


Ruby is devastated after her boyfriend stands her up at the airport for his job, even though he should have come for her birthday. Leaving all of the romantic pieces she just bought for her birthday weekend with boyfriend Jack behind, Ruby Miller takes her packed bags and jumps on the next Eurostar heading towards France, Paris. Determined to help her friend Harriet to finally find love Ruby tries everything to keep her mood uplifted and to pair her off with the stunning and most kindly waiter at Harriet's local cafe. During all the love drama Harriet takes Ruby with her for an auction job where Ruby starts to discover a big mystery that started in the 30's. Keeping the love letters, she found at the apartment where time stood still, a secret from Harriet, Ruby travels back in time trying to solve the biggest love mystery between Emmanuelle and Henry. Their love has kept strong even over nearly a whole century and Ruby is more than willing to find out what happened to them. Did Emmanuelle marry the love of her life or did she live up to family traditions and married a stranger? And what happened to Henry's writing? Despite of living in fear of the near coming war, was he able to convince his love to live with him in his hometown America happily ever after?

All of these questions are swirling around in Ruby's head, as if her own love life slowly fading away wouldn't be enough already. But despite all of the unanswered questions she finds proof in true love and that no matter what love is always the answer. It's like a ride on a roller coaster, one day she finds nothing and another day Ruby is so close to solve the love mystery. Join her and her fabulous dog Heathcliff on this journey to find out what happened to Emmanuelle and Henry, and to Ruby herself and her boyfriend Jack!

I absolutely loved this book! It is probably one of the most well - written books I have ever read in my entire life. Alexandra Potter knows exactly how to make you drive crazy because you want to know what happened. This books is a never ending "Wowzer" (let's just pretend that's actually a thing, okay?). I am still blown away by Alexandra's writing skills because she made me feel like I was walking next to Ruby trying to solve the mystery with her. One word wouldn't be enough to explain to you how much I love this book but let me tell you it is AMAZEBALLS!

Do let me know your opinion in the comments down below if you read it too! If you haven't read it yet then I highly recommend you to do so, let me know if you do as well! Also leave me a comment if you join in for "The Goodway Book Club's" next read "The Opposite of Loneliness by Marina Keegan". See you soon my loves!

1. Love From Paris - Alexandra Potter



A novel written by British author Alexandra Potter. She was born in Yorkshire and has worked for the Australian Vogue and Cleo magazine. With her never ending passion for what she loves, Alexandra has made her dream come true and made it her job to write her very own novels. Ten books in total have been published so far just like "What's new, Pussycat?" or "Do You Come Here Often?", "Love from Paris" being the newest one. 



How far would you go for love?

When new boyfriend Jack stands her up at the airport, Ruby Miller dries he tears, jumps on the Eurostar and heads to Paris. She thinks she's going there to visit an old friend and have a total break from romance. But the City of Love has other ideas.

A locked apartment where time has stood still, a bundle of long-lost love letters and a flirtatious French lawyer sweep Ruby into a mystery that spans three-quarters of a century. Who is the author of the letters? Why did the owner of the apartment close up the shutters and flee form Paris from the war? And what secret was she hiding?

As the mystery deepens, Ruby turns love detective but it's not long before the ghosts of the past throw her own love affair into jeopardy.

You want to read it? Tell me if you get your hands on it and let's read together, I always tweet about my currant reads. On Sunday, September the 25th I will upload my review of this book where we can discuss everything in the comment section together!

2. The Opposite Of Loneliness - Marina Keegan



An Essay and stories from Yale graduate Marina Keegan. Aged 23 she graduated from Yale University and sadly passed away shortly after that. She has inspired the world with her knowledge and talent shown in "The Opposite of Loneliness" and so she is going to inspire us!


An affecting and hope-filled posthumous collection from the talented young Yale graduate whose title essay captured the world's attention in 2012 and turned her into an icon for her generation.

Marina Keegan's star was on the rise when she graduated magna cum laude from Yale in May 2012. Tragically, five days after graduation, Marina died in a car crash.

Her unforgettable last essay for the "Yale Daily News", "The Opposite of Loneliness", went viral, receiving more than 1.4 million hits. Marina had struck a chord.

"The Opposite of Loneliness" captures the hope, uncertainty and possibility of her generation and articulates the universal struggle that all of us face as we figure out what we aspire to be and how we can harness our talents to make and impact on the world.

I am so happy that I found this book, as it sounds so inspiring and interesting that I can't wait to start reading it. I do hope that I was able to inspire some of you to read this one too, do let me know if you do! This book's review will go up on Sunday, October the 30th.

Hello my beautiful friends,

and welcome back to our book club! I do hope that you're doing very good and that you enjoyed our first book which you can read about here TheGoodway Book Club: I Heart London. But now grab yourself a cuppa and let's talk about our second book.


"The Versions Of Us" is a novel written by Laura Barnett, British writer for "The Daily Telegraph" and a new author since last year. If you want to know more about Laura then keep reading here The Goodway Book Club.

This book is telling the story of Eva and Jim, two students at university in three different versions. And so are the both of them too, more than different and noway near the same in any way.

Sadly I have to admit that I really didn't enjoy reading this book, hens why I didn't even make it threw to the third chapter. It's so strange having to write such a thing, as I have never not liked a book in my life before.

I am utterly sorry for not being able to tell you more about the story itself, but I just really didn't like the concept of the book in the end. Which is a shame, really, as the fact that it is written in different compartments was the thing that drew me in in the first place. It just got very confusing and dizzy in my head as all of the versions really weren't very clear to me to understand. They were telling a story from somewhere out of the blue, and that just wasn't for me. It certainly was missing this breadcrumb trail, as you call it,  running threw the book.

But you see, you never know where a book might go, and if you will end up liking it or not is totally up to your personality and personal book preferences.

But pretty please, if you have read the book, let everyone else and me know how the book went on, if you liked it, what you might have liked better and your personal opinion. I would absolutely love to know what you thought of this book. I might give this book a second go in the future, like in a few years, maybe I will be able to understand it better then, if I do then you will be the first one to be informed of that!

That's it for our second book of the "The Goodway Book Club", I will shortly put up a new post with our next two books to read. Let me know what you're thinking of the book club so far, if you've enjoyed the books I have chosen and some suggestions for future reads!

Hello you beautiful bunch of people,

and welcome to our first session of the "The Goodway Book Club". If you don't know what I'm talking about then check out my post where I explained everything in detail here The Goodway Book Club. But for now grab yourself a cuppa and let's get started.

For the first book I chose the wonderful book "I heart London" by Lindsey Kelk. It was published by "Harper Collins Publisher" as the 5th of its glorious sisters. It all started with "I heart New York" where Angela Clark escaped to New York from her very screwed up life in London. She left behind her cheating dumbass ex-boyfriend and her newly-wed best friend Louisa, after breaking Louisa's husbands hand on their wedding day. Classy, clumsy but brave Angela started a new life in New York where everything finally fell into place. She had a best friend, Jenny, who's ever so slightly clumsy and needs a little help every now and then (so not understating) but still being a wonderful person who has her heart in the right place. And then there's Alex, her boyfriend soon to be husband. The both of them are absolutely different in every way but a dream couple indeed. Now she's back in London for her mother's birthday and she's not being ecstatic about it. Especially after her Mum declared and suggested that her and Alex should get married in a week's time. She finds herself faced with all the things she ran away to New York for in the first place, has to handle her eagerly mother who is still the same good old British tea drinker cliche, the man that broke her heart two years ago on the back seat of their car and Grace, Louisa's baby. All things that she wouldn't have been able to manage two years ago, but is she able to do so now?

I love a good-laugh book which leaves you warm and fuzzy and thinking about if your own life will ever end up like hers. British humor meets American sarcasm, is the perfect description for this book. Lindsey Kelk definitely didn't fail with this brilliant story of love, weddings, best friends, best friends trying to kill each other, an annoying mother and her stunning lead singer from Brooklyn who sweeps of her feet off the floor.

If you are in search of a good summer read then I would highly suggest you get your hands on this book! You won't be able to put it down, trust me I know what I'm talking about. Plus your evenings will be filled with laughter and learning the American language in it's most glorious state. It's the sun shine on a gloomy, cloudy and rainy day. It has for sure made it's way up in my "top five books" list.

That's going to be it for the first review of The Goodway book club, if you want to join it for the next read "The Versions of us" by Laura Barnett, then make sure to let me know by leaving me a comment!

Hello you beautiful people,

and welcome to our first session of my new creation: our book club. I decided to start this because I personally love reading so much, and most of the times I fell for my book choices so hard that I want to share them with the world. So if you are a book worm like I am, or you want to read more books in general and grow your vocabulary, then this is for you.



Everyone is more than welcome to join "Thegoodway book club" and to leave their suggestions for a next read in the comment section below every blog post. Let's get started with today's session.

1. I heart London - Lindsey Kelk



One of the "I heart" series by the amazing author Lindsey Kelk. Lindsey is an British author who was born in Doncaster, her first book " I heart New York" was published 2009 in London. Since then she has released five more of the "I heart series" books, and six other very famous books.

Now I'll read you what it says on the back, so you get the idea of what the book is about:

Angela Clark has fallen in love with New York - and it's started to love her back. But when she's summoned home to England, she's at risk of losing her shiny new life to rain, warm beer and bad memories. Talk about stepping back in time.

There's Mark, the ex-boyfriend - who she ran to New York to get away from.

There's Louisa, her best friend, with her terrifying new baby.

And there's her mum, still talking to her as though she's fifteen.

Now there's a wedding in the offing - and everyone remembers how well Angela behaved at the last one... Can the arrival of boyfriend Alex and new best friend Jenny save her from a re-run of her old self?

Sounds interesting right? I am so excited to finally start reading this book as I had it sitting on my bookshelf for nearly two months now, and I can't wait to read Angela's story. If you fell in love with it now, than I'd highly recommend you getting your hands on it and start reading. I will give us until June the 26th to read it. I hope that this is plenty of time for everyone to finish this book. On that very date I will upload a blog post based on this book, including my thoughts, my personal opinion and a more in depth summary, and I'd like all of you to leave me your summaries, own opinions and thoughts in the comments down below this post.

2. The Versions of us - Laura Barnett



This book had my attention in the second I opened the book, as when you open it you see that it's divided in different sections which isn't very common in the book industry. Laura Barnett must have known exactly what she was doing to grab everyone's attention with this amazing book. Laura is, again, an British author who has written for popular newspapers like "The Daily Telegraph" in the past, and published her first novel "The Versions of us" in June 2015. In addition to that she writes short stories which she publishes on her website and is currently working on her new novel called "Greatest Hits".

Eva and Jim are nineteen, and students at Cambridge, when their paths first cross in 1958. Jim is walking along a lane when a woman approaching him on a bicycle swerves to avoid a dog. What happens next will determine the rest of their lives...


Again, this books sounds to interesting, although it's a short but sweet little summary on the back of the book. I can't wait to read this book, as the fact that it's written at the beginning of the 60's and in different departments makes me want to start reading already (which I totally would, if I didn't have to study for my exams!). Now seeing as reading two books at the same time, most of the time doesn't work out I would say that we start this book after our first one, but if this book caught your eye more than the first one than feel free to start with this one! I will give us to read this book until July the 31st, if that's not too late for anyone!


That's going to be it for today's blog post, I do hope that you like my idea of creating our very own book club, and please let me know if all of you are okay with dates in the comments down below as well as your thoughts on this book club. In case you have any suggestions for future readings and would like point them out and pop those down below too!
