October: a busy month
Winter's out, summer's in!
Life
I was hardly active on this blog last month. If you missed me, here are the possible reasons why:
- University ended, so I had all sorts of assignments due! (Now I only have one exam next week, on the 7th (which is also my birthday...) and then I've completed my first year of uni!
- I was sick during almost the whole last week of uni, which is also when I had two assignments due, so I didn't have the energy to blog.
- I was participating in my second Femslash Exchange! This is a yearly gift exchange when you create F/F stories (mostly fanfiction, but original work is a category too) or art, and receive one in return. I wrote three things this year, which was really fun.
- I was binge watching a British sit-com.
- I was reading War and Peace, one of the longest novels published. I'm hoping to finish it today, so stand by for a long review!

Just this and nothing else. Well, except for stuff I had to read for uni. And fanfiction.

Aentee at Read At Midnight hosted #CritYourFaves, which I sadly found out about too late to participate in.
Berls at Fantasy Is More Fun asked what unimportant elements draw you to a book.
Jordon at Simply Adrift discussed what makes you WANT to read a book blog. I fail miserably.
Reg at She Latitude posted about the 'Not to Read' Pile. I found this very relevant as I'm forever adding to and culling my TBR list.
