Why is depression so easily dismissed as a bad mood or whinyness, if you wouldn't tell someone with e.g. asthma to stop wheezing? On the other hand, you can be very ill and still be simply an ass. Are you sure you know where a blasé sense of entitlement stops, and something else begins, something that changes the mind like a limp changes​ the body? Alone for making me face that question, this book is worth while.

Well-crafted supporting characters, a great premise, a dynamic setting. Unfortunately, the flat, juvenile protagonists dumb it down to a snowflake blog about baby vomit and nappies.

In fair Dagobah, where we lay our scene...
Alas, poor Ani! He was burnt to crisp...
For never was a story of more grit
Than this of X-Wings and of Yoda's wit!
A tale, told by a Jedi, full of woe and sadness, facing his once brother...
May the 4th be with you!

@DeweysReadathon wrap-up: 6 titles, 949 pages and 6 hours of sleep (coz I'm a wuss). I learned that I'm a slower reader now than way back at Uni; but the best part was the overall​ reading atmosphere at home, and the group chat with friends who were also readathoning or cheering.

A pot of tea, a pint of ice cream and a "power nap" turned 6-hour sleep later, I'm on my last book for @DeweysReadathon

Several hours into @DeweysReadathon and two cups of coffee later - two books down, moving onto a novella. The real question right now is whether to have some ice cream or not...

Half an hour to @DeweysReadathon and we'll all set and ready! I hope...
I'll be posting here, on Instagram (as lovingbadhairdays) and Goodreads (https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/16737952-jelena)

Sooo, I signed up for my first @DeweysReadathon ever! I got (short) novels, novellas, short stories and comics, different authors​, different periods, different styles and different languages. All under 250 pages. Maybe I should stack some essays, too. I'm hoping to trick my brain into keeping focus by mixing and switching tracks...

When you wanna hang with the cool kids, but you'll always be a nerd to the core.

If I can't have a lightsaber as weapon of choice, I'd go for Shakespeareian insults. What I really meant though was: Happy Birthday, Will! And a very happy World Book Day to everyone else!

One for the road... Seriously, do you ever have one book to read at home and another one to carry with you? Either two different ones​ or two editions of the same title.

Sooo, #starting off this whole Litsy thing with a #classic and revisiting a childhood #favourite...
