Booklist 2019

Hello everybody, how are you?
I've had a busy start to the year with school and work but I feel very refreshed and like I have gotten my ambition and willpower back. One of my resolutions was to make more time for my hobbies and especially read more! Although I read quite a few books last year I still have a big stack on my bedroom floor (yes, floor hahah) and desk of books I have yet to read. For today's post, I want to share with you all the books I want to read this year that have been staring at me for the past year or so.

Metamorphosis - Franz Kafka
Shakespeare - Macbeth
Shakespeare - Twelfth Night
Robert Galbraith - The Cuckoo's Calling
Robert Galbraith - The Silkworm
Robert Galbraith - Career of Evil
Ami McKay - The Witches of New York
Helen Fielding - Bridget Jones's Diary
Eleanor Atkinson - The Greyfriar's Bobby
Jane Austen - Pride and Prejudice
Alison Rattle - The Quietness
Rainbow Rowell - Eleanor and Park
J.R.R. Tolkien - Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
Ernest Hemingway - The Sun Also Rises.

As you can see I have a lot to read this year. I plan to read The Sun Also Rises in March because it takes place in Madrid and that's exactly where I'll be going on a school trip in late March. I'm also going to London and Oxford with my school, soo exciting times ahead! If you have any book recommendations please comment below as I'd love to hear your suggestions.

That's it for today's blogpost, hope you have a great day and keep on reading! Love, Stella xx

New Year - New Times

Happy new year everybody!
I have a feeling 2019 will be a good one and I'm excited to see what life has in store for me in the new year. One resolution of mine is to be more active on this beloved blog of mine since I have missed writing posts for you lot. The reason for my dry spell is simply because I have been a bit down and not made enough time for the things I truly enjoy, but that is no more! This year will be great and I already have ideas of new blog posts. 
To catch you up on what has been happening in my life these past months I´ll tell you a short version. I started my senior year which has had its ups and downs. It's been stressful and I've been super busy in my extracurriculars and I started ballet again which has kept me busy too. I've also been applying to universities around the world and I just sent in my application to Brown and Colby this morning, so there are exciting times ahead. I'll also be applying to The University of Edinburgh, University of St. Andrews and Trinity College, Dublin.

Hope you all have a wonderful 2019 and life will be good to you!

I'll be posting again so be sure to follow my blog below and check out Instagram to keep updated.
