I'm trying something new with my journal spread for October. Usually, I have a big calendar on one side with important dates and a smaller calendar with daily trackers on the other side for habits. It gets a little stressful seeing blank spots on dates I didn't do a task, and how that blank space can't be "fixed". I'm still workshopping exactly how this will work, but I'm hopeful.

(23/100 days of productivity)

Today was a bit hard during the morning, had 2 meetings and a huge headache 🤕

But managed to work pretty well overall, mostly wrote some code I need to test!

After everything went to Bingo with the people from the lab! Some say it’s a game for old people, but we think it’s fun! Although I didn’t win anything 😂

2023 genre bingo update #4

This has been in my drafts for a while. It should be the second to last update for this challenge. If I will in fact finish it, because to be completly honest the last few prompts left are what I normally avoid reading so there's a chance I might don't end up reading enything that fits, we'll see. I might end up squeezing in those prompts something that doesn't fit perfectly, I don't know yet. If you want to read my other updates for this challenge here's the links: update 1, update 2, update 3.

All individual book reviews are linked in the titles below as usual.

What Lies In The Woods by Kate Alice Marshall for the thriller prompt:

I hated this book. I thought the idea of having these girls lying about the attack they witnessed in the woods was interesting, but the writing was terrible. I didn't like any characters, and the twists were predictable. I think I complained enough about this in the review I wrote, so I won't go on too much.

The Lottery and other stories by Shirley Jackson for the horror prompt:

Weirdly enough this year I have read almost no horror? This is weird for me? I have been in a pretty big fantasy mood this year, but this book reminded me of my love for this genre. Since it's a collection of short stories there were highs and lows, but overall this author's writing is so special.

Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman for the urban fantasy prompt:

This book was a solid middle ground for me. You might know that Neil Gaiman is my favourite author, but in general I tend to like more his darker stuff. This book was good and entrataining, but not the type of fantasy I'd normally go for. I was also expecting more American Gods vibes, which wasn't really the case here. I think it's a good novel, but it's not in my top Gaiman books.

This might flop but, for the studyblr community, what are some of your goals for this year?

For me it’s to bring back my gpa to 8.0 (we use a 10 point scale) and get at least one A in a course.

My friend and I had a little arts and crafts night. We took our goals for the year and put them on a blank bingo card then decorated them. It was fun and we had chipotle. I feel more motivated now because I'm competitive as hell.

Summer Reading Challenge

Prompts:

Adapted for TV or a movie

Classic or retelling of one

I read Peter Pan for the first time ever. It was...not that great, lol. The narrator was the thing that I liked the most, and my favorite character was the crocodile (but I also liked Wendy most of the time).

This was never a story that I was particularly interested on, but this summer I thought I needed to give it another go.

I will probably come back to it, just to better analyze the narrator.

Rating: ⭐️⭐️

Warm white tea, Belgian biscuits, quiet reads. I actually worked a lot today – my weekly pilates session, going to class, then walking a few km's back home. But still, cozy day!

2023 genre bingo update #1

Last year the genre bingo was the only challenge I did finished, so I am really curious to see if this year I'll also manage to find a book for all these prompts. Certainly, like last year, a lot of the prompts of this challenge are out of my comfort zone, so I'll have to find new stuff and/or compromise but we'll see as we go.

The House At Pooh Corner by A.A. Milne for the children's lit prompt:

Just like in 2022 I started my year with a Winnie The Pooh book, it might become a tradition. I am deeply bonded to these stories, and although the translation I have of this book was a bit weird it was really good to just relax and spend some time in the 100 acres wood.

The Sandman volume 7 by Neil Gaiman for the graphic novel prompt:

I have a couple of unread graphic novels on my shelves but this was the first one of the year, and it was a great start. This volume finally answered some questions I've had for the past few volumes of the series, and it made me fall in love more and more with the complexity of the world created by Gaiman.

Cain's Jawbone by Torquemada for the mystery prompt:

This puzzle novel is a mystery that includes 100 pages to put back into order and six murders. Did I find any of the murderers or the name of the victims? Of course not, but it was a fun past time, and it can become really addictive.

Hilda And The Troll by Luke Pearson for the short story prompt:

This might be an unconventional pick for this prompt, because it's a graphic novel, but it's about 40 pages long so to be honest I would not call it a novel. It's a really sweet story with light fantasy elements, the illustrations are lovely, and it leaves you wanting more.
