My reading month has been shocking. I'm not sure why? I cannot quite put my finger on it. Although I do think it's the book I'm reading to a large extent. But I am determined to finish it because I only have 100 pages left. I'm not against DNF but, I need to finish it.

Thursday, 19th June 2025.

I picked my book up for the first time in a while today. I didn't read much but it has meant that I am almost 100 pages from the end of my current read. Which, I'm not going to lie, has been a difficult one to get through. But I am determined not to DNF it because I have a few reasons to finish it. One of them being a future post I want to make on here, and in order to do that, I have to have finished the book. I'm hoping to get it finished before the weekend though.

A Thursday afternoon spent at a nicely lit cafe; the weather outside is so nice (a bit too hot) ☕️📝😯

14.05.2025 // catching up with readings

love all the reading I've been doing lately. it is also exciting to see my library build up over the years, especially now that I can afford to buy some of the books I have wanted for years. recommendations from friends and acquaintances have also helped me expand my reading choices beyond my usual categories and genres. the tbr list keeps growing and it's a reason to live for.
