I’m back at uni and with the return to uni comes what can only be described as a need for procrastination. As some of you may have noticed, I disappeared around the middle of July, but it’s ok. I’m back now.
So, why did I disappear?
Well, some of you may recall this post where I talk about my plans for July: namely, much reading during the uni holidays.
And I quite succeeded in this challenge: I read 11 books! And while that doesn’t really feel like much (especially since I had a 5 week break from uni), it does sound rather impressive when I say that 7 of those books were read within a 6 day period.
I’m actually really proud of that.
Of course, in order to do that, I decided it was best to disappear from the internet (almost) completely. I went a whole week without twitter (*shock horror gasp*), and only went on goodreads to update the books I was reading. Though I did continue to check instagram.
And did I miss twitter? Well, yes and no. I did miss talking to people, and generally shouting random things into the void, but I spent practically an entire week doing nothing but reading.
The last time I was able to do that, I was probably 13 and the only thing I would read back then was Harry Potter.
But then I returned, just in time to find out something very exciting
THIS BEAUTY WAS RELEASED INTO THE MAIL!
And it was glorious!
My review is coming…I just need time to get over all THE EMOTIONS!
And what I find hilarious about all this, is that if I’d stayed away from twitter for one more day, I would have never known it was coming…which meant there would have been much less running around screaming with excitement as I grabbed my keys and jumped into my car to race to the post office to get the package.
And where’s the fun in that?
Despite returning to twitter, I remained absent from the blog
Like, seriously, as of the time when I am writing this, I have done zero blogging for 2 weeks…at least.
And, honestly, I didn’t really miss it.
I mean, don’t get me wrong, I love blogging, but to just read/do nothing for 2 weeks without writing a single word has just been so relaxing. I’ve actually missed not blogging.
But that does not mean I’m planning on quitting any time soon.

What can you expect in August?
Due to time constraints, because of various stuff happening, I probably won’t be posting much variety (unless I can come up with and write a brilliant discussion post within, like, an hour), but there are several reviews I’ve been meaning to write, so expect those.
