I wake up early, in time to watch the first rays of sunlight shyly reach the wall. From the bed, I can see the bright blue sky through the window, almost as if the snowstorm that threatened the city last night was just an illusion. I get up and walk over, curious to assess the damages. My eyes hurt with all the white reflecting the sun — everything is covered. The back garden looks more like a cloud. I dress up quickly, skipping over coffee, and go straight to the front porch. A shiver runs down my spine, more due to the eeriness of the sight than the cold itself. I don’t feel the cold.

As I said in my previous reading post, this year I’m taking on the Goodreads + Popsugar reading challenge, and I have to say — it’s been quite motivating! I’m already ahead of schedule in my personal reading goal and eager to get my TBR list down. But, I have to say, the year didn’t start all that well for me. Let’s talk about books!

As you may have seen in the bujo post, this year I decided to actually get myself a writing goal. I’ve never done that before and, to be honest, I thought that not reaching that goal would be really disappointing. So far, though, seeing those numbers go up has been nothing but motivating! I have to confess that I’m counting everything I’m writing with a creative purpose towards that goal — Once, the blog, the short stories. If it was for a single project, I don’t think I’d be this far. Especially because the single project (hint hint) is off to a rough start… Let’s talk about Once in a Lifetime?

Yes, the monthly playlist is back! The first month of the new year was full of new songs. As always, some of them may or may not have inspired some stories… Keep an eye out in future book playlists! Notice: JavaScript is required for this content.
