Book vs. Post The Reading Slump For the past few years I’ve been going through quite the reading slump, which is unsettling, because I’ve been building my existence around books and literature since I can remember. If I had to…

"A little nonsense now and then, is cherished by the wistest men."
- Roald Dahl
·
Finished Roald Dahl's Witches. This is part of one of my reading challenges: To read five children's books and discuss it in depth. I'm only at book one now, my husband is picking out the selection, but I thought I'd ask your opinions too. Which children's book do you want me to read and discuss? 🌙

“We know our weakness. Now what will we do? We'll get stronger. We'll get up and fight!”
- Natsu Dragneel
·
Some Sunday night inspiration for you. Just because a fictional character said it, doesn't mean it's not true. There is strength in knowing our weakness, and to work with it, instead of ignoring it. Sometimes our weaknesses even end up being our best traits - I guess it's all about perspective.

There are people in this life who I wish could see themselves through my eyes. I've never been good with human interaction, less so if I actually have to speak in full sentences to you, also I don't wear my heart on my sleeve (IG is making it all easier - baby steps), so next time I see you and utter something completely random or try to make some lame joke or even hug you out of my own free will, then that was probably me reaching out to you, trying to say, I think you're pretty damn amazing. Also, please laugh at my jokes. I try really hard ⚡

"The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only one page."
- St. Augustine

For me, this was still one of the coolest spots in the Netherlands (excluding places with great food), even though it took us less than five minutes to explore.

What is your favourite novel that focusses on travelling? What do you love about the book?

"I have no notion of loving people by halves, it is not my nature."
- Northanger Abbey

I'm in a Jane Austen mood today, and I'm always in an eclair mood. Please 🍩 (seriously, we need an updated list of food emoticons)

Also, my goal for the day: To not get attacked by the bat in the cellar. I can hear its tiny voice, but have no idea where it is.

"Some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again."
- C.S. Lewis
·
It's hard to grow up and not lose your sense of wonder for the world and to not lose hope in humanity. When we grow up we get disillusioned about the life we've been living and the dreams we've been building.
When we do manage to hold onto our dreams and hopes? Well, then someone comes along and tells us to be realistic. Get a real job, dress your age, get married.
We lose ourselves in the world's expectations of what it means to be a grown-up. A world that only focusses on what things look like from the outside, a world which wants you to fight for survival, but not see you live.
·
Don't forget, that you life is your story. You create your very own storybook every day. And if you found your book in the library or some bookshop, would you want to read it? Would you even notice it?

"That pure bond of youth that feels at the time as though it will last forever."
- Adrian Tchaikovsky, The Bear and the Serpent

What's your favourite story with magical animals? I mean, for me, Harry Potter wins for all the magical creatures (and Hedwig) 🐲 But are there any other favourites?
