It is currently Wednesday the, I have no idea when of March and I'm just about to
start painting my walls for the first time since we moved into this house I
think about 15 years ago, which is fun but I thought I would just update you on
my reading or my lack of reading. Well no I have been reading but yesterday I had
wanted to start a new book but instead I ended up watching a few too many
episodes of 'Marvels: Agents of Shield'. So instead I ended up totally catching up
with Alice Oseman's 'Heartstopper' comic. Which if you haven't checked out,
I 110% recommend you do because it is just gorgeous. The artwork in it is
absolutely stunning and the story and characters are just wonderful. It is one
of those stories where you just read it and it just fills your heart with all
the warm fuzzies. It is so adorable. I'll read the summary for you actually
because that just kind of summarises it perfectly. "Charlie, a highly-strung,
openly gay over-thinker, and Nick, a cheerfu,l soft-hearted rugby player,
meet at a British all-boys grammar school. Friendship blooms quickly but,
could there be something more?" Alice Oseman is such a wonderful author and
artist and I just couldn't recommend more highly. It is such a gorgeous comic
and I will link to 'Heartstopper' in the description box because it is just such
an easy but lovely read. Yeah, that is what I read last night because I
just didn't want to invest my time in starting a brand new book after I stayed
up far too late watching 'Marvels: Agents of Shield'. Which I just recently started
and am kind of loving. Despite the fact that it is super cheesy right now but it
is just very entertaining and I am total Marvel trash, so that's great and right
now I'm just gonna get changed into something that I don't mind getting
paint all over and finally start painting my walls for the first time
in 15 years or something because I never repainted them since I painted them the
first time I moved into this bedroom and I am super excited about it.
Probably more excited than I should be considering and just painting them white.
I have officially finished painting my room it took a lot more coats than
we had expected because when we thought we were cheating the system by buying
cheap paint, apparently what we were really doing was buying cheap paint. So it was
quite thin and a little bit watery but I think about five coats later, it is
finally done and I'm really happy with it. It's just sort of brighter and
lighter and a bit more fresh. I've also finally put the shelf up on my wall,
which has been on my floor for the past few months. Which I need to put some
stuff on it eventually. I still definitely have a few sort of finishing
touches to put together. Like as I said, putting a stuff on my shelf, setting up
my new duvet and then also I want to put some things on my wall but I have been
saying that a very, very long time and considering how long it took me to
actually eventually get around to painting my walls and the fact that I am
the worst at making decisions, it's probably gonna be a very, very long time
before I eventually decide what I want to put on my walls. But I am really happy
with how it ended up, even though it is just looking very simple. Last night I
also finished 'The Wedding Date' by Jasmine Guillory and I absolutely adored
this book. It was just so easy to read and so lovely and funny and the
characters were just absolutely brilliant. I loved their relationship.
I loved their individual personalities and their individual points of views and
it had just enough drama to kind of keep my attention but not enough that I was
constantly rolling my eyes at it and I honestly could have kept reading this
for 100 more pages. It was just such a fun read and had so many great
discussions on things like body image and race, whilst also being just your kind
of fluffy romance and I just absolutely adored it. I also did really like reading
the annotations in it because this came with my 'PageHabit' box, so there were
annotations from the author in it but I couldn't really read the author's
handwriting at some points. So some of it I kind of just had to make up in my head.
I really enjoyed it, I couldn't really find a flaw in it. So that is that, I
really enjoyed that and now I just have to kind of try and decide
what I want to read next. Which again, awful making decisions, so that will just
be a disaster. I'm looking at my shelves now with my TBR on it and I've absolutely
no idea what I want to read. I definitely want to continue reading some more
contemporary, as I'm not in the fantasy mood at the moment. So yeah that is what
I'm gonna have to decide on later today because I really enjoyed that book and I
have a feeling it's gonna be hard to follow it up. Update, I think I've
finally decided what I'm gonna put on my shelves. I think what I'm gonna do,
well shelves, shelf, tiny little teeny tiny shelf. I think what I'm gonna do, if
it can hold it and if it is strong enough, I think I'm gonna put the books
that I've read during a month on it. So then I don't need to constantly be
rearranging my shelves throughout the month, when I put back the books that
I've been reading and then taking them all out again to do a wrap-up. So what
I'm gonna do is just put the books that I've been reading during the month on
that little shelf over there. If it can hold it, otherwise who knows what's gonna
happen and then at the end of the month, I can just do one rearranging of my
bookshelves. So then I can put all the books back on my shelves, rather than
constantly changing it up because that is slightly exhausting. So I'm hoping
that will be able to hold the books that I read. If not I'm gonna end up in
the middle of the night with a shelf and a bunch of books falling on my head.
Which isn't gonna be a lot of fun, so we're gonna see but hopefully it will be
able to hold the books that I've read. Otherwise I've really have no idea what
I'm gonna put on that and I'm just gonna have an empty shelf, which isn't
too much fun and now I need to go down and see what my dogs are yelling at
because who knows. This very well may be the most awkward camera angle in the
history of camera angles but right now I'm freezing and where I am isn't, so I'm
just gonna go with it. Yesterday after spending twice as long trying to decide
what to read than actually reading, I finally decided on 'Moxie' by Jennifer Matthieu.
I got about 100 pages into it and so far I'm really liking it.
I hadn't really heard anything about it
at all, other than it was meant to be good but in terms of what it was
actually about, I had absolutely no idea. So currently I still only know what I've
read but so far seems to be about a girl that goes to a high school that is kind of
very male dominated and the guys can get away with doing
absolutely anything and saying absolutely anything and the main
character and this just kind of has enough and that is all I know so far but
I'm really enjoying it. It's a very quick and easy read. Right now if I can manage
to pull myself away from where I currently am, which is warm and has
puppies and is just comfortable and I've gotten myself into a position that I'm
feeling comfortable and I shouldn't have because I've got stuff to do. But right
now if I can manage to do that, I think I may attempt to begin to tackle my
bookshelves because they are such a mess and it's just stressing me out because
now my room is kind of basically finished and I've done a huge big clear
out of everything and I've redecorated and everything but my bookshelf is still
there and it's just so messy and I just I want it not to be basically. So I might
attempt to try and pull myself together and just beginning to chip away at it
and organise it. If I can find a way to set up my camera and find a right camera
angle, I'm gonna try and make it into its own video because I know that kind of
thing isn't everybody's cup of tea but I really enjoy watching them. I find them
really relaxing and therapeutic. So I'm gonna try and do that but I have a
feeling the way my room is set up is gonna make it very awkward to find an
angle that I can actually film from but that is what I'm gonna do now because
it's just frustrating me and I know the more I put it off,
the less likely I'm gonna end up doing it but the more likely I'm gonna end up
getting more and more stressed about the fact that it's not done. So that is what
I'm gonna do now. I've been sat here for 5 minutes since I said I was gonna move, I haven't moved.
I'm a couple of shelves down now with organising my bookshelf or reorganising them.
I've emptied two of my shelves. Right now I've just kind of had to take a little breath and
take a breather because I thought for some reason that it would be a great
idea to listen to the 'Dear Evan Hansen' soundtrack whilst I was doing this. Yeah.
I was wrong. There is something about the soundtrack that just destroys me. It just
gets to me and I have to work so hard to not just sob throughout it and
turns out I'm not doing a great job. So I had to just pause because I was just
standing, there reorganising my bookshelves, trying not to cry.
Which isn't exactly the kind of vibe I was trying to go for. So yeah, having
to have a little break because it's just so gorgeous and it just does something
to me. If you haven't listened to the 'Dear Evan Hansen' soundtrack I 100%, without a
doubt recommend it because it is so utterly wonderful and I'm so excited for
it to come to the UK. But also terrified because I do not know how I'm going manage
to get through that musical but also there is no way on earth that I'm going to
not go and see it at some point because it's just stunning. I'm listening to the
'Found/Tonight' Lin-Manuel Miranda mashup of it and that
just, oh my gosh. It's amazing but oh my gosh, it hurts. It's just, it's so wonderful.
It's so good and yeah I need to take a break, well I don't, this was kind of my
break. I'm done. I think I'm done and I'm probably going to end up listening to it
again because you can't get halfway through the soundtrack and not continue
but after that I might have to listen to something different. Well I will
definitely have to listen to something different because otherwise I'm gonna be
more of an emotional wreck all day than I usually am. I have officially
finished reorganising my bookshelves and I think I am really happy with it and I
say I think because it's definitely more reorganised but I've looked at it
so much now, that I think I've just kind of become immune to it. It's like when
you say a word over and over and over again and it just loses all meaning and
you start to question whether or not it was ever a word at the beginning. That's
kind of how I'm feeling about the bookshelves but as I said, it's
definitely a lot more organised. So I am happy with that. Although I finished the
entire thing, which took a lot longer than I had expected,
and was kind of looking at my handiwork and just very happy with it all and was
kind of feeling a little bit proud of myself. Only to turn around to find my
'Anna and the French Kiss' trilogy and 'P.S I Still Love You' trilogy sitting behind
me on my bed and I now I have absolutely no idea how to fit those in bookshelves.
So that kind of made me want to scream into the abyss but other than that, as I said,
I'm happy with it. I'm just gonna leave it there.
Just kind of enjoy the moment and take in the organisation but yeah that is finally
done and I did manage to film it. So that video I think, if all has gone to plan,
should already be up. So I will leave that link in the cards or in the
description box or something and yeah, I also just finished 'Moxie' by Jennifer Matthieu
and I ended up really, really enjoying this. It was just a very fun,
kind of empowering, powerful story of feminism and just these awesome girls
supporting other awesome girls and I really enjoyed it. It was a very, very
easy read. I got through this a lot quicker than I had expected to.
I have absolutely no idea what to read next and I don't have any kind of pull to one
certain book. So that's probably going to be a little bit of a disaster and probably
going to mean that I end up watching a lot more TV that I should do because I
can't decide what to read. Which always happens. Thankfully I've just managed to
persuade my mum to start watching 'MasterChef' with me. So I do have a backlog
of that to be watching because I absolutely love that show. It is so
addictive and I get very, very into it. I would definitely be watching a lot of
that with 'Marvels: Agents of Shield' if I can't decide what to read but I think
I'm probably going to leave this vlog here as right now I have to go make a
chocolate cake for my parents, as they're having a dinner party tomorrow. Which
means I'm going to be the literal embodiment of the "I'll be in my room
making no noise and pretending I don't exist line" from Harry Potter because I
don't want to go downstairs but also I don't have any other plans. Thankfully I
have a box set of Audrey Hepburn movies I'm planning to get through. As well as
as I said earlier, probably far too much TV and hopefully maybe a book. If I can
make some kind of competent decision about what to read next.
But yeah, I hope you've been having a really fantastic week and once again I
apologise if this vlog was so dull that it literally sent you to sleep. If you
even managed to get to the end of it. I have no idea but if you did, I would love
to know if this is something you would like me to continue doing because I'm
just questioning myself. I don't know whether or not I should be doing these
but yeah that is that for today and as I said I hope you've been having a lovely
week and I hope you are having the most fantastic day!
