For the past few months, I’ve been decorating boxes for my friend to give them for their birthdays. Instead of wrapping tiny presents one by one, it’s better to put them all in one box and give it away. Although, just because you are giving a box it doesn’t mean it has to be bland and boring. With a bit of imagination – and a few minutes on Pinterest – it’s possible to create something with attitude and, if you are like me, loads of humour.

It’s been so long since I’ve done a simple post just talking about some random topic that pop-up in my head. And today is time to talk about the YouTubers phenomenon. I’m not going to dive into any drama that might be on at the moment or give you reasons why/why not you should follow YouTubers. My point here is a little different. Instead of focusing on the internet “celebrities”, I want to focus on me and you – the viewers – and how being a viewer impacts our lives. I follow a fair share of people on the platform that I watch on a daily basis. Most of the times it depends on my mood. If I want to laugh my ass off, probably I’m going to watch some Fortnite or GTA V funny moments. If I want to get my reading mood up and running, a few TBR …

Is it just me or just yesterday we were starting the month of June? I’m starting to get really confused about the time. Maybe is the summer vacations starting that is messing up my mind or just life distracting me all the time. Either way, June is long gone and we are already in July… But seriously I fell like just a week ago, I wrote my May Wrap-Up and now I’m here writing the June one. All of this is making my brain hurt, so it’s better if I start this wrap-up.

It has come the time once again to browse online to find the upcoming releases of the next three months. And either you like or not, the summer calls for two genres, contemporary and mystery. You can enjoy a lovey-dovey story next to the poll or unravel a murder while making sand castles. At least I know that my mood is calling out for them. I’m getting so excited to go to the beach or stay outdoors enjoying the sun and getting temporarily blind because of the extremely white pages.

It’s been almost two and a half months since I read and saw Ready Player One and I’m finally ready to talk about it. I’m sure you know the feeling of loving a story so much and being so invested in the world and the characters that it hurts. You just want to read it all, no matter if it’s getting to the end because you only care about knowing the whole story. And then… BAM! A punch right in the feelings. There isn’t anything else to discover, no more story. Then you realise the world is not real, the characters aren’t real, and that real life sucks, now you are upset. And it gets painful to remember that nothing is real. So, instead of keep crawling back inside the book, I prefer to move on and then, after a while, I can talk non stop about it without any …

Holly molly, May is already over. This was one of the busiest months so far and I can’t believe it’s already over. In book-wise, actually wasn’t the happiest. I don’t know what is happening to me, I feel that I’ve spent this year so far inside a big reading slump – even though my Goodreads tells me I already read 15 books. My TBR pile is growing, I’m still buying books like the world is going to end, and I keep looking out for more books I don’t know to buy later. But I’m not reading any! Can you see my problem??

Usually, when I brainstorming ideas, they tend to come in pairs. The first one, I already posted last month, I’m talking about the Record Player Stand. I decided to buy wood crates and get creative with them. I was thinking to do a post like “two supplies and multiple possibilities” or something close to that. But when I started working on the first project, I decided it would be better to separate both ideas. With this in mind, both projects are somewhat similar. However, I still tried to come up with something I never did before.

To tell you the truth, I wasn’t planning on writing this post. Thirteen Reasons Why isn’t one of my favourite show by far. I think the series started nicely, but towards the end, it got less impressive. Yet, I was interested in watching the second season to see what was going to happen next. I binge watched it in two days (from Friday afternoon to Saturday night), and I wish I hadn’t seen the last episode. I don’t feel this new season is a waste of time since it’s very entertaining and full of drama. Although, it’s not a good source of awareness and a proper portrait of mental health issues.

Today’s post is already thinking about the weekend. This recipe is perfect for a lazy Sunday’s brunch. You cook with the ingredients you have in the pantry, use any type of bread you like (or have leftovers of), and it’s quick to do. I’m one of those persons who love to spend time preparing a meal. I don’t mind spending the whole afternoon in the kitchen cooking dinner, making desserts, and appetizers. But some days, it feels good to just lazy around the house, not doing much. For those moments, pizza toasts are kings. It takes less than 5 minutes preparing and an extra 10, to cook it. Which, in the meantime, you can be doing other things, like a fresh orange juice to go with – ok, now I’m thirsty.

When it comes to holding to ideas, I’m the worst! I can have everything planned out, start working on it, and then something gets in the way. Whatever the reason is, over the time I’ve abandoned so many projects. Some were good, others weren’t, and some are already in the garbage. Despite not being great at finishing what I start, I usually like to “collect” things, so I have a few unfinished projects stored away. And for what?? Turns out it’s for posts like this.

How is it possible that April feels longer than the first three months of the year? I swear last month took soooo long to pass, but at the same time, how on earth is already May?? And I already have plans for every week of the month, not kidding. My social life is on fire this month, which means I’ll be able to hibernate for the rest of the year. Jokes aside, I have no idea how my reading is going to be. What I do know is how April has been, so let’s dive into it.
