Let's do introductions again. I love those, because I get to slightly reinvent myself every time 🍬

I'm Alexa, just your average book-obsessed, part-time blogger. I fall in love every time I see tulle, or a cat chooses my lap as the the superior lap to everyone else in the room.

I'm your walking cliché with my coffee addiction and red wine ecard quotes🍷

Currently, I have two bookshelves. One is somewhat vintage, but too small for all my books. The other is handmade, rough and raw, with a teeny possibility of falling into pieces.

I prefer fantasy novels, but have a love for nineteenth-century romance tales as well. Every once in a while I like science fiction, general, crime and mystery fiction as well. Children's literature is amazing. Especially with all the new art and illustrations. I would buy it all.

I'm married to my best friend. We have four dogs, one cat, two cows, two alpacas and chickens. They are all a handful. Especially the cat.

I love reading, writing, drawing, baking, photography and design. I'm not particularly good at any of these, but I love it.

Tha's me. Somehow. In a way. This is part of who I am. On the surface at least. Delve a bit deeper and you will find a pile of Goodreads quotes and a girl who hates laundry🌿

“Why do you go away? So that you can come back. So that you can see the place you came from with new eyes and extra colours. And the people there see you differently, too. Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving.”
― Terry Pratchett, A Hat Full of Sky

Name a book, you read this year, that you absolutely loved🌿
·
I read only a few books this year, but of those few I loved a lot. This one defintely made the Top 5. It was a gift from my partner. Never heard of it before, and now I want to read all of Alix E Harrow's books.

The Ten Thousand Doors of January is a beautiful adventure of discovering magical worlds, friendship, family and finding your strength. At least, that's what I got out of it, and some more🌙

So, what book do you want to share with me?

Old, worn hardback covers make my heart happy 🌙 If you find one in a library, bookstore or a secret nook, snap a photo and share it with us🌿

Spread the timeless joy of holding a beautiful book, that has passed different hands and filled many souls.

Have you read The Little Prince?👑

For me The Little Prince is proof that classics do not have to be "hard" or "academic" literature. Sure, we can go into great discussion, analysing the story word for word. However, it is one of those stories that you can enjoy from pre-school years (maybe with a little help from momma) through to adulthood, and with each stage of life, you will gain something new from the story. It is not a complicated read, but it is also not without depth and literary value. This is a book for everyone.

So, if you want to start a Classics Bucket List, but do not have a lot of confidence, then I highly suggest you start with The Little Prince. For a little dude in a tiny book, he has a lot to offer🌕

[ t h u r s d a y. t h o u g h t s ] ~ Almost week

[ t h u r s d a y. t h o u g h t s ]

Almost weekend, just hold on a little bit longer 😉

I started reading Priory of the Orange Tree for our book club's June pick. It's been a struggle. Two weeks. 20% in. Not feelin' any of the characters. However, I heard it gets better, and when it gets better, it gets a whole lot better. Apparently, amazing. So, I'm holding on to that piece of hope. It's just hard when you are already at chapter 11 and you are still not rooting for any of the characters.

Other than that, I'm also reading an Afrikaans novel, Droomdelwers by Esta Steyn. It's a prescribed book for Grade 11. I don't read a lot of Afrikaans, but I'm not far in, and I'm already finding it quite enjoyable. So, apparently Droomdelwers 1 Priory 0.

How is your reading going? Or what else are you up to lately?

Btw we love June. June is the best. So, I'm celebrating this week🎉
