I am finally back on track after a very long reading slump. When I started this book I knew it would not be the best choice to get rid of my slump but at the same time, I really wanted to read it. This would be my first self-growth book review and I am very excited to share it. Dale is truly an amazing writer and lecturer. His lessons are the type of lessons that will never get too old and that is why the book keeps selling and leaders continue to learn from it. ✨ I annotated a lot in this book as you can see in the photos as well. Some of his best quotes and references are: 🔴 ‘A man convinced against his will is of the same opinion still.’ 🔴 ’When two partners always agree, one of them is not necessarily.’ 🔴 ‘You can measure the size of a person by what makes him or her angry.’ Have you read this book? What are your thoughts about it? I’d love to hear more opinions. 😌 Link for my full review in bio ❤️ #cloudwrites . . . . . . . . #bookreview #bookreviews #bookreviewer #igbookreview #bookreviewers #bookreviewblog #bookreviewersofinstagram #minibookreview #picturebookreview #bookreviewblogger #audiobookreview #instabookreview #bookreviewing #bookreviewerswanted #yabookreview #newyorktimesbookreview #bookreviewsofinstagram #ebookreview #nytimesbookreview #30secondbookreview #bookreviewswanted #newbookreview #coffeeandbooks #bookstagrammer #books #bookstagram #booklover #bookloversalways #bookcommunity (at Bookstagram) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoP2Jvmrhcp/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

‘Circe’ by Madeline Miller ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Mini review: Whenever I open booktok or bookstagram I always see ‘Circe” being one of the most read books and highly praised. Of course, ‘The Song of Achilles’ is the book that made me look into Madeline Miller, however, I decided to start with her second book. I have been a mythology fan since the beginning of time and it was exhilarating to experience it in a retelling. I would recommend the book if you enjoy a slow read because that’s exactly how it goes in this book. You will read about slow days in exile and thoughts that sometimes bother you. Thankfully, Madeline Miler’s style of writing makes the slow read pleasant. The reason I am giving 3/5 stars is the lack of events/action which is definitely more my type of reading, Overall, Madeline is an amazing author that deserves all the credit she gets for this book. ✨ Some quotes from the book: ☀️ “It was my first lesson. Beneath the smooth, familiar face of things is another that waits to tear the world in two.” ☀️”If my childhood had given me anything, it was endurance.” ☀️”A golden cage is still a cage.” Link in bio for a longer review. . . . . . . . . . . . . #cloudwrites #bookreviews #bookstagram #bookreview #booklover #books #bookstagrammer #bookworm #bookrecommendations #readersofinstagram #booksofinstagram #booknerd #bookish #bookreviewer #bibliophile #bookblogger #reading #booksbooksbooks #bookcommunity #bookaddict #booklovers #bookshelf #bookaholic #bookreader #bookrecommendation #goodreads #bookphotography #bookclub #review #bookblog https://www.instagram.com/p/CpDbIu_rclN/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I was thinking a lot about the pressure that social media puts on us sometimes and I can also feel it in bookstagram as well. The desire to read 100 books a year, the desire to post every day and to create content in order to get engagement and reach. I believe we are the ones who put such pressure because we see what others achieve and we often forget to think about the path that leads us where we want to be because that’s the beauty of it. ✨ I don’t plan to read 100 books this year, I’ve put a more realistic goal and if I manage to read more than that, it would be a great addition, if not, that’s also okay. There is no need to put unnecessary pressure where is not needed. Just read and enjoy the process. ❤️ “If you quit on the process, you are quitting on the result.” - Idowu Koyenikan A message to the new bookstagrammers including myself. 🫶🏻 #cloudwrites . . . . . . . . #bookstagram #bibliophile #igreads #currentlyreading #bookreview #instaread #lovetoread #booksarelife #readingisfundamental #bookreviewer #bookaddicts #bookpost #tbrpile #justread #bookishphotography #whattoreadnext #readallday #bookworms #booksofinstagram #bookwormproblems #bookaholic #bookpic #newreads #booknerd https://www.instagram.com/p/CpFKu1jrWHH/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

30 days The Daily Stoic Journal challenge On 03.03 I received my order for both The Daily Stoic Journal and the original The Daily Stoic book written by @ryanholiday and @stevehanselman I stumbled upon Ryan’s YouTube channel “Daily Stoic” just a few weeks ago during a time of a great need to change, to learn how to deal with stress and anxiety in a better way and how to let things that are not under my control go away. Of course, I have a long way ahead of myself and my journey in stoicism has just begun, but I am grateful for everything that came into my way - both good and bad and I am ready to face the future. Both books are crafted for you to reflect on your day, journal like Marcus or Seneca who were way ahead of their time and we can learn so much from both even in the modern age. I will further share my 30 days journey and my opinion about both books and how they have improved my daily routine. Thank you for being here 😊 . . . . . . . . . #stoicmindset #philosphy #philosophyquotes #philosophicalthoughts #thedailystoic #philosophical #stoics #dailystoic #stoicphilosophy #stoicism #marcusaurelius #seneca #booklover #cloudwrites #readingtime📖 #journalcommunity #journalideas #bookstagrammeroflagos #booksofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CpXe07oIxfE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Hello everyone! This week I am having a small celebration for my 100 followers objective and I have decided to post a small update regarding my future plans for my bookstagram. I am testing different photo presets and shooting style and In the future I will probably change it once in a while as I love taking photos and trying new things. 💖 A Little Life will also be one of the books I will read in March as soon as I finish rereading ACOTR and I will be back to the series ASAP as I have set my goal to reread all SJM series (I know, crazy). After a few tests I have decided to stay with this style and see where it goes. You can also see my little assistant in the last one. 🤭 I hope you have a wonderful week filled with happiness and only 3 digits numbers of pages read. 😌 . . . . . . . . . . . . #cloudwrites #bookstagrammer #bookstagram #alittlelife #bookstagramer #newbookstagram #readersgonnaread #bookishmail #bookinstagram #coffeeandbooks #booklovers #bookreviewer #booknerds #readingtime📖 #📚 #bookphoto #bookaddicts #bookpost #tbrpile #justread #bookishphotography #whattoreadnext #readallday #bookworms #booksofinstagram #bookwormproblems #bookaholic #bookpic #newreads #booknerd (at Bookstagram) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpfS47XodTn/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
