Unfortunately this week has been killing me. I haven’t even had the chance to get past the first 10 pages of Sally Rooney’s Normal People. Midterms are no joke, so unless you count Linguistics PowerPoints or articles on Diegetic vs. non-diegetic sounds in cinema reading, I haven’t read much. I don’t have much to report on this week in terms of books, but I have some topics I can discuss! First, I have found a new favorite spot to read. Last week, when my life wasn’t controlled by the suffocating stress of projects, I found myself reading a bunch and loving reading in ISEC. It is a very nice building with a lot of space and a lot of windows. I have come up with a routine where I pick up a white chocolate mocha and a slice banana bread from Starbucks, make my way to ISEC and read by a window. It is so relaxing! Plus, it feels like a tiny rebellion, English major reading a fiction novel in a brand new STEM building.
Another thing that I have found interesting lately is that my sister has started to read, regularly. This is strange because my sister has never liked books or reading of any kind. Ever. She used to yell at me, when we were kids, because I wouldn’t stop reading and go play with her. The only thing that changed though, is that she got hired this summer to work at our local library where I used to work. I guess being around books all the time and reading the backs of them, made her realize the reading is actually fun! She does have a specific genre though, and I have yet to convince her to deviate from the YA realistic fiction novels, but I guess that will come with time.
Hopefully spring break will give me the time I need to recoup and stay on top of my goodreads challenge!
