It's Carnival weekend and we've been on the carnival parade. The time when I finally get to dress up as my favourite fantasy character. I haven't found the bat wings. But I did find spring coloured wings and fairy ears. So, this weekend I'm a fairy from the Spring Court. It matters that I belong to the world of ACOTAR.🧚‍♀️🧚‍♀️🧚‍♀️
Carnival is the time to chase away winter and bring in spring.

I currently have 2 hours of free time to read. YAY!!And that's in the library. The last time I read in the library was when I was a student, but I read professional books. My daughter has signed up for creative workshops at the library and I can read in peace while I wait for her. It is raining outside. For me, this is a great afternoon after a hard day's work.

Dear Readers, what is your reading guilty pleasure?
Mine are Dark romance and MM romance. Two different sub-genres that I am increasingly reaching for. These are currently on my shelves and many more are on my kindle. If the two sub-genres are close to your heart, I'd be happy buddy read with you or talk about them. Just tell me.

These are the #ValentinesCards that came in last 5days to me. Leja helped me open them. I couldn't tell which one was more excited and surprised.❤️❤️❤️
Thank you guys! You made our Valentines Day!

Lately, our health has been a problem. When one of us gets well, the other one gets sick. But they say a bad beginning is a good ending.😄 Still, we take a moment for us to create, read, cook together... We both love chocolate, so we make our own hot chocolate.

February 8
Today Slovenia celebrates Culture Day (Prešeren Day). France Prešeren is our greatest poet. His unrequited love for Julia gave him great motivation to write. Despite the fact that he had great criticism and was banned from publishing his poems, he still wrote and today he is important for the development of the Slovene language. It is because of him that today we celebrate Culture Day, which we have named after him.⬇️⬇️

I made Valentine's card. I sent them today. They will probably arrive too late. I'm sorry for that.

It's almost spring. At least it warms up so much during the day. The rose in the garden likes it. 🌹🌹

Lately I have been enjoying writing and journaling. I plan my week, my activities, the books I've read, the series I've watched, habits tracker, mood tracker... I've been doing #BulletJournal from 2020 (lockdown was to blame for my discovery of a new hobby)😄. I enjoy it, it's relaxing. This year, for the first time, I'm adding drawing doodles (I'm not an artist but I try and do my best-please don't judge). ⬇️⬇️⬇️

I am ready to read this. To see what everyone is talking about. It's been on my shelf for a while and it's time to pick it up. Perfect buddy read for #LittensLoveRomance @StayCurious

I like fantasy and romance.
I didn't know what to post under #LoveIsBlind
#Romantasy has become a popular genre. Readers crave fantasy creatures (or so the booktok says). I, too, sometimes dream of vampires, dragons...
So love is blind sometimes😜

"On and off the field, you're my hardest fall, Zoe. No one ever compared. No one ever will."

I have lots of favourite books and literary couples. Dylan and Zoe are one of them. It is difficult to choose just one. I chose them because I think the book deserves more attention than it has received. Their love is unique and really special.❤️❤️?

I'm not sure if Littens still post their craft stuff but here is our. It was our Sunday. We made paper birds picked snowdrops and journaled. Leja is 6yo and she started her first diary.
#Sundaymood #motheranddaughter #craft

It's already February. That was fast. The month of love, the month of my sister BDay. I think the year will go by quite quickly.

I love poetry. Atticus was recommended to me. I only know that is a love poetry and nothing more. Perfect for February read.

If you can dream it, you can do it. Always remember that this whole thing was started with a dream and a mouse.
-Walt Disney

All of us readers are dreaming something. My dream is to have a big library and to be the mother of a dragon who will be the guardian of the library.
What about your dream bookworms?🐲

@alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @eggs

We are already in 1st grade. Leja is learning to read. When she comes home from school, she immediately picks up her textbook and practises reading. Otherwise she is still at the beginning where she reads 3 and 4 letters together. But I am so proud of her. As a reward for being so diligent, we take her sledding on Saturday.

Fear doesn't shut you down; it wakes you up
-Veronica Roth, Divergent

One of my favourite writers is Veronica Roth. She will always have a special place on my shelves and in my heart. She opened up the world of dystopia and introduced me to a new genre that won me over. She is a writer I would love to meet and talk to about new worlds and futures. Fictional, of course. I think it would be fine to re-read this series.

I love Italian cuisine. Especially pasta. My favourite is spaghetti. I eat them all the time, not only in winter. These are with tomatoes and ricotta.

And my fave Italian singer (I always listen to italian songs while cooking): https://youtu.be/Z4-g8UXa944?si=y_XMecrmomZx8Gu_

#FoodAndLit #Italy #jubilee @TexReader

I like seasonal covers. In winter I like to read a book with winter adventures and activities. This one particularly appealed to me because it is set in the Alps. Part of the Alps are also in Slovenia (my country), which makes it more interesting for me to read. I assume it will be set in the Swiss or Austrian Alps, which are much more popular. And hot chocolate goes well with a winter book.

#BookReview
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The first book I read this year is The Woman in Cabin 10. I had it on my shelf for a long time and finally decided to read it. I was immediately sucked into the story. With every chapter I was more surprised. I really did not see it coming. Especially not this ending. It was really quite a surprise. However, the story is missing a little something to give it a fifth star.
⬇️

My favourite books I read last year were Divine Rivals and Remarkably Bright Creatures. Both books touched me. On the one hand, the love story between Iris and Roman. On the other, the unique friendship between Tova and Marcellus. Characters you care about and remember. I highly recommend both!

#25alive #FaveBk24
@alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @eggs

As a teenager, I started reading Famous Five books and today my love for books is only growing. These are my overflowing bookshelves. Even the shelf in front of the wardrobe has a pile. I have plans for new shelves this year and I hope I can make it happen.

Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities; Truth isn't.
-Mark Twain

In all these years of reading, I have a lot of books and quotes in my memory. Some of them are really remarkable and worth writing down somewhere and sharing with others.

@alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @eggs

This is my first book haul this year. I found these books on sale. They are both for #SundayBuddyRead this year. @TheBookHippie

@alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @eggs

Does anyone else have a neverending TBR? I've got books piling up. I think it will be time for new shelves this year. Because you can never have too many books. Don't you agree? This one ended up under the Christmas tree in December. Yes, Santa knew what I wanted and I guess I was nice😆

My friends know what I want and need.

I am thinking about my goals, my vows for 2025. I have drawn a line and stopped looking at the past. It's time to make the future better, no matter what I do differently. Maybe I'll read unfinished books, maybe I won't. Why do I even bother with this? I don't know yet. I hope I manage to read these 24 books from my bookshelf at home. Maybe I'll do some reading challenges. You guys posted them a lot.⬇️

"The only person who can pull me down is myself, and I'm not going to let myself pull me down anymore." —C. JoyBell

I've spent a lot of the last year discovering myself. Sometimes in this 'full speed' life we forget ourselves. Our peace. A moment to ourselves. Mostly we focus on others (children, partners, parents...). Sometimes we need to put ourselves first. Even if it's just for 5 minutes.⬇️

Hi! I wasn't very active last year. I wasn't posting. I didn't read many books either. I can say it was the worst reading year. Especially the last half. I started reading a lot of books that I didn't finish. But not because they weren't good. Mostly because I didn't have the motivation. I was doing a lot on myself. Would like to finish the unfinished books (maybe not all of them). But in any case, the goal is to read more books than last year.⬇️

I sent my #autumncomfortswap package a little late. I'm sorry for that. Hope it will arrive soon. @thebacklistbook

#vacationreads #currentlyreading What are you reading at your vacation?
We travel to Malinska on Island Krk, Croatia. I just started reading the tagged book for #LittensLoveRomance hosted by @StayCurious
I've noticed people on the beach reading Colleen Hoover, Sarah J. Maas, scandinavian noirs and historical fictions.

I'm so sorry I didn't post this later. We had a crazy time. Went from emergency room to pediatric klinic...Thank God we are okay and feeling much better now. Then I had to pack for my holiday at the last minute because we had already paid for the reservation.
I took a picture of my packare and posting it now. Thank you @jenniferw88 for all the goodies and books. ❤️😍

Coffee in the shade of the garden. Nature coffee and a book. The only thing missing is the sea, but I'm already counting down to my holiday.☕️🌳🌿
I'm currently reading Forever My Girl and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. And currently listening The Lost Man.

I started making beaded bracelets with my daughter. We needed a new hobby to keep us occupied. We are both creative so we both enjoy it. We have already given many of them to friends, children in kindergarten... These are the ones that were made today.

#bracelet #handmade #LitsyCrafters @Catsandbooks

I didn't post for a while. Didn't have motivation. My love got injured and his dad died in the spring. We've had a tough time. But we're okay now. I was in a reading slump. Started reading some easy romance translated in slovenian. The best reading corner is outside in a hammock chair. Also my daughter finish pre-school kindergarten and in Seprember she'll start first grade. She's growing up so fast.💕🥰

I was sick all week. I was laid up with fever and aches. I had no will to read. I feel better today and started reading Zorrie for #SundayBuddyRead and Ready or Not for #LittensLoveRomance

I had the whole #SundayAfternoon #hyggehourreadathon 😍 The weather was perfect and hot (summer is finally here), daughter was at neighbour house played with their kids. I read On Guard by J.R. Gray & Andi Jaxson. It was so spicy and suspense and dark as I like it so I couldn't put it down until I got to the last page.💙🩵💙🩵

#EasterCrafty Part 2
We cut out eggs from paper and drew on them. Leja painted 2 wooden eggs. I played with thread and a needle and created some unique decorations. 🐣
We also baked our traditional dessert called Potica (we chose the coconut flavour).

#LitsyCrafters @Catsandbooks

#EasterCrafty Part 1
Easter weekend is over and we had so much time. Here are some staff that we did.
We dyed the eggs first in onion shells and then with food colours and turned them into smilies. Then we decorated the house. 🐣🐣🐣

A sad book. Usually I'm avoiding that kind of books. But this year I'm reading out of my comfort zone.
