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.

Do you know those moments, when you need something and the Universe makes you cross path with a solution? Well, this is one of those moments. I have a record player, and my biggest problem is knowing where to put it. So I was in the hunt for a good stand. I wanted something simple, not too expensive, and with a place to store my vinyl, nothing else. Despite my exquisite taste which only allows me to buy what I fall in love the first moment I lay my eyes on, I was open to suggestions. And then I saw a DIY with wooden crates in the Wayfair website, almost made on purpose just for me. And that’s when I decided I was going to make a record player stand for myself.

I’m sorry for what it’s coming next. In honour of today’s celebrations, I have to say this. This year, Easter must be a joke! Ok, I’m done. So sorry about this, let’s move on. Another month has ended, so it’s time to do an overall of all the books I read, bought, and discover.

Finally, April is upon us! I’ve been dying to publish this post. I started making this list shortly after I post the first part and now here we are. Three months had past which means another three months of new releases. I’m going to talk about my most anticipated book of the year – yaaassss!!! – and other great titles that caught my eye.

Author: Ruth Hogan   Publisher: Two Roads   Year: 2017   Pages: 336 Since Spring has officially started, there isn’t better book to celebrate this season as The Keeper of Lost Things. You might think “what do the lost objects have to do with Spring?” Well, everything and starting with the cover! This book is like a flower, it starts off as a little bud and slowly grows day by day. And since is Spring some days are beautiful and sunny, and others are rainy and gloomy. Although, that doesn’t stop it from blooming into a beautiful flower.

At the moment, I have 7 plants in my office and in the process to get a couple more. And, as if this wasn’t enough work, I want to get a bunch of flowers to decorate my balcony. As much as I love to care for all these plants and watch them grow, it’s nice to have a couple of fake ones. They always look the same, you don’t need to remember when was the last time you water them, and they will never die (bonus points!). This DIY comes from a shopping trip to the supermarket. They had those little jars with fake succulents inside really simple and was about 3€. Well, your girl here thought “I’m not going to buy that when I can easily make my own”. In reality, making this DIY didn’t get any cheaper, although I got to choose everything that went inside it. I …

Author: Joanna Bolouri Publisher: Quercus Publishing Year: 2018 Pages: 336 Sometimes you read a book that gets you more and more excited by each sentence as the end approaches, and then you turn the page and find a blank one. You keep going back and forward with that single sheet of paper until your brain realises the book is over. Then you get up, slowly stepping away from the book and you start shouting

For me, the end of the month is always so excited. I have the opportunity to talk books non-stop and share any new books that caught my eye and will probably take my money away. Even though I’m still a little bit stuck in a reading slump, it doesn’t demolish me from searching for more books to grow even more my Goodreads shelf.

February is known worldwide as to the lovers’ months, especially the 14th. Keeping Valentine aside, there is also another thing this month is known for, carnival. Most of the countries don’t celebrate this time of the year, but here in Portugal, we had imported the Brazilian tradition. Over the time, it has changed from what carnival is known for in Brazil. Although in a lot of city throughout the country has kept the parade very similar. In Portugal,

Today, this post is dedicated to all the fans of the Sims franchise. If you are not a game person or more specifically not a Sims loving person you probably won’t care at all for this story. I’m going to get real fangirl here, so unless you are up for that vibe, this is going to be really boring.
