Book vs. Post: The Reading Slump

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…

Hello, friends.

Just your friendly reminder that magic is everywhere.

Question: What magical reads are you planning for 2022?

For a reader and booklover like me, it was the absolute best news when our plattelandse dorpie got its own bookshop. Little did I know at the time, just how much this bookshop would mean to me (and my hometown).

Since then, Liberty has grown into much more than just a bookshop. Not only do we have the Book Bus, Burning Books and now Christy's Book Nook at @paulcluverwine, but we have a community.

If Liberty existed while I was still in school - this would have been my second home. My safe space from the world that I didn't feel I ever quite fit into.

Now that it is finally here I am comforted by the idea that it could be that place to other children and teens. Children who not only love to read, but also perhaps feel like they do not quite belong in the world they know at this time.

Thank you Christy for making Grabouw a little bit more magical, and making the world a little bit better.

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to photograph your magical space.

Mermaid ghost or something like that🌙. We had so much fun planning the Trick or Treat party at @kirabo_kompanjie. Thank you to everyone who attended.

I especially had fun at die @williewolfkappery getting prepped for the party. Thank you @rinahaasbroek for making time for me, and being super talented. Kan nie wag vir die volgende een nie.

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
