Day 12 of #thebooksparrowseptemberbookchallenge16 is Cracked Spines
*
Somehow all of my Penguin Classics end up with cracked spines, probably because I bought them for uni and was annoyed because they wouldn’t keep open during seminars until I bent the spines 😅
I realised that I’ve finally learned not to crack the spines on most of my other books though so I guess that’s progress 💪
What are some of your favourite classics? I really enjoyed Jane Eyre, even though I think Rochester is a massive tool and Jane is kind of stupid, the actual book was really good.

44 Odd Things You Didn’t Know About Me

Oh hey look, @imthefuckingstrong tagged me! Thank you. ♥

1. Do you like blue cheese: Not at all. I can´t even stand the smell.
2. Have you ever smoked: Passively, yes (my mother smokes cigarettes). Actively, no.
3. Do you own a gun: No. And I don´t want one. Though I´m surprisingly good at shooting an air rifle.
4. What is your favorite ice cream flavor: Probably raspberry sorbet, and Ben & Jerry´s Strawberry Cheesecake
5. Do you get nervous before going to the doctor: I do. Though it´s pretty manageable.
6. What do you think of hot dogs: I don´t really like them, to be honest.
7. Favorite Christmas Movie: Christmas movies aren´t much of a thing where I live, but if I had to name one… I´d say Love…Actually
8. What do you prefer to drink in the morning: Coffee. With milk and sugar. But I can live with about anything.
9. Do you do push ups: My boobs are too heavy for push ups (meaning: nope)
10. What’s your favorite piece of jewelry: A silver pendant I got from my late grandmother, with a green gem in the center.
11. Favorite Hobby: Drawing and painting, as well as reading. Cooking, baking (cupcakes!), watching movies…and spending time with the girlfriend ♥
12. Do you have ADD: My mother actually has been diagnosed with a form of adult ADD, and there are moments in which I think I have it too, so who knows?
13. Name something you dislike about yourself: How unreliable I can be.
14. Middle name: Hélène
15. Name two thoughts at this moment: I m freaking hungry but my mum is sleeping in the living room for reasons I won´t discuss here and the kitchen is next to it, so if I go down to fix myself something to eat I´ll wake her up. I really should ask the girlfriend when exactly she was planning to go to the fun fair with me.
16. Name 3 drinks you drink: Coffee, buttermilk, and lavender licorice tea
17. Current worry: My professional/academic future.
18. Current annoyance right now: I am so hungry…
19. Favorite place to be: Anywhere, as long as my gilrfriend is with me. Though there are a few places in Scotland and Ireland that I miss dearly.
20. How do you feel: Tired, but too alert to sleep.
21. Where would you like to go: The US to visit friends, Prague
22. Name three people who will complete this: Hey, whoever wants to do this. I´m not forcing anyone.
23. Do you own slippers: Yep. Half wrecked ones with a flower print, but they´re super comfy.
24. What color shirt are you wearing right now: I´m wearing a nightgown right now, but it´s white with a fuchsia/dark blue/purple flower print, in case you´re interested
25. Do you like sleeping on satin sheets: I did once, didn´t like it too much.
26. Can you whistle? Yes. Not especially good, though.
27. What are your favorite colors: Pastels, various shades of purple, teal, blue, and green
28. Would you ever be a pirate: I would sooo suck at being one, but yes!
29. What songs do you sing in the shower: None, because if I did, mum would make fun of me.
30. Favorite girls name: Emma, Isabelle, Kate, Jolene
31. Favorite boys name: Louis, Sebastian, Adrian, Gabriel
32. What’s in your pocket right now: In my jeans: a bit of change, a 5 € bill, chewing gum, and a hair tie.
33. Last thing that made you laugh: My girlfriend making the funniest comments in the car
34. Best toy as a child: I guess one of my stuffed animals. Perhaps even the teddy bear that was stolen from my grandmother´s appartment (a long and odd story).

35. Worst injury you have ever had: When I fell down the stairs when I was seven, we had just moved in, and the previous owners had screwed thin metal battens to the steps so you won´t slide on them that easily. One of these screws apparently wasn´t screwed all the way in, and it cut open my right leg on the inner side, just where it bends. It was Boxing Day, there was snow outsite, and I went home with seven fresh stitches, and an unproportionally huge scar.

36. Where would you love to live: I lived living in Hamburg, though I´m püretty happy where I am right now.
37. How many TV’s do you have: We have one; I don´t have a private one.
38. Who is your loudest friend: When it comes to decibels? I´d say @abschaumno1 - sorry, Alex. ♥
39. How many dogs do you have: None. Never had one either.
40. Does someone trust you: I hope so.
41. What book are you reading at the moment: “The Prophet” by Khalil Gibran.
42. What’s your favorite candy: chocolate. Like 99% of everything Läderach produces (a Swiss chocolate manufacturer). And baclava.
43. What’s your favorite sports team?: Sports? Is that…edible? (I watch equestrian sports - show jumping - so yeah.)
44. Favorite Month: I don´t really have one.

I tag…well my brain isn´t too functional right now, so whoever wanna steal and do this? It´s absolutely up to them! :D

I’m going to post a belated picture of yesterday’s prompt as soon as I have access to the books I want to reread again. But it will be a few days before that.

#thebooksparrowaugustbookchallenge16 Day 7: Sea of books

A sea of unread books with my last read and my next read in the center.
I finally finished The Three Musketeers today! It was a great read, very fun and I love the characters. There’s a few things that are a bit… not so great from a modern perspective I’d say, but I felt that I could overlook most of them as period-typical.
I’m looking forward to The Shadow Hour by @melissagrey_ now. I loved the Girl at Midnight and I’ve been eagerly waiting for this ever since 😍

We should go back to Paris and Shakespeare & Co. some time, especially since there´s a café right now.

My housemate from first year at uni went there yesterday and sent me pictures and I’m just yearning to go again it’s so beautiful. Ngl I’m going back as soon as I can.

I still think the whole Fellowship should go if we can. That would be awesome.

Because Fellowship + books = ♥

I’m absolutely with you! What do you guys say, @devilishangel4eva @skellingcrow?

Yes hello, I’m still alive 🙈 I won’t catch up on the days I missed, but I’ll at least try to do the ones that are left. We’re having some rain and thunderstorms today after two rather hot days so what better thing than curling up on the sofa with a good book? I’ve really been enjoying The Three Musketeers so far. It’s a fun book and I’m really glad I’ve decided to pick it up 😍
