If you can dream it, you can do it. Always remember that this whole thing was started with a dream and a mouse.
-Walt Disney
All of us readers are dreaming something. My dream is to have a big library and to be the mother of a dragon who will be the guardian of the library.
What about your dream bookworms?🐲

We are already in 1st grade. Leja is learning to read. When she comes home from school, she immediately picks up her textbook and practises reading. Otherwise she is still at the beginning where she reads 3 and 4 letters together. But I am so proud of her. As a reward for being so diligent, we take her sledding on Saturday.

Fear doesn't shut you down; it wakes you up
-Veronica Roth, Divergent
One of my favourite writers is Veronica Roth. She will always have a special place on my shelves and in my heart. She opened up the world of dystopia and introduced me to a new genre that won me over. She is a writer I would love to meet and talk to about new worlds and futures. Fictional, of course. I think it would be fine to re-read this series.
I love Italian cuisine. Especially pasta. My favourite is spaghetti. I eat them all the time, not only in winter. These are with tomatoes and ricotta.
And my fave Italian singer (I always listen to italian songs while cooking): https://youtu.be/Z4-g8UXa944?si=y_XMecrmomZx8Gu_

I like seasonal covers. In winter I like to read a book with winter adventures and activities. This one particularly appealed to me because it is set in the Alps. Part of the Alps are also in Slovenia (my country), which makes it more interesting for me to read. I assume it will be set in the Swiss or Austrian Alps, which are much more popular. And hot chocolate goes well with a winter book.

The first book I read this year is The Woman in Cabin 10. I had it on my shelf for a long time and finally decided to read it. I was immediately sucked into the story. With every chapter I was more surprised. I really did not see it coming. Especially not this ending. It was really quite a surprise. However, the story is missing a little something to give it a fifth star.
⬇️
My favourite books I read last year were Divine Rivals and Remarkably Bright Creatures. Both books touched me. On the one hand, the love story between Iris and Roman. On the other, the unique friendship between Tova and Marcellus. Characters you care about and remember. I highly recommend both!

As a teenager, I started reading Famous Five books and today my love for books is only growing. These are my overflowing bookshelves. Even the shelf in front of the wardrobe has a pile. I have plans for new shelves this year and I hope I can make it happen.

Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities; Truth isn't.
-Mark Twain
In all these years of reading, I have a lot of books and quotes in my memory. Some of them are really remarkable and worth writing down somewhere and sharing with others.

This is my first book haul this year. I found these books on sale. They are both for #SundayBuddyRead this year. @TheBookHippie

@alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @eggs
Does anyone else have a neverending TBR? I've got books piling up. I think it will be time for new shelves this year. Because you can never have too many books. Don't you agree? This one ended up under the Christmas tree in December. Yes, Santa knew what I wanted and I guess I was nice😆
My friends know what I want and need.

I am thinking about my goals, my vows for 2025. I have drawn a line and stopped looking at the past. It's time to make the future better, no matter what I do differently. Maybe I'll read unfinished books, maybe I won't. Why do I even bother with this? I don't know yet. I hope I manage to read these 24 books from my bookshelf at home. Maybe I'll do some reading challenges. You guys posted them a lot.⬇️
"The only person who can pull me down is myself, and I'm not going to let myself pull me down anymore." —C. JoyBell
I've spent a lot of the last year discovering myself. Sometimes in this 'full speed' life we forget ourselves. Our peace. A moment to ourselves. Mostly we focus on others (children, partners, parents...). Sometimes we need to put ourselves first. Even if it's just for 5 minutes.⬇️
Hi! I wasn't very active last year. I wasn't posting. I didn't read many books either. I can say it was the worst reading year. Especially the last half. I started reading a lot of books that I didn't finish. But not because they weren't good. Mostly because I didn't have the motivation. I was doing a lot on myself. Would like to finish the unfinished books (maybe not all of them). But in any case, the goal is to read more books than last year.⬇️
I sent my #autumncomfortswap package a little late. I'm sorry for that. Hope it will arrive soon. @thebacklistbook
#vacationreads #currentlyreading What are you reading at your vacation?
We travel to Malinska on Island Krk, Croatia. I just started reading the tagged book for #LittensLoveRomance hosted by @StayCurious
I've noticed people on the beach reading Colleen Hoover, Sarah J. Maas, scandinavian noirs and historical fictions.
I'm so sorry I didn't post this later. We had a crazy time. Went from emergency room to pediatric klinic...Thank God we are okay and feeling much better now. Then I had to pack for my holiday at the last minute because we had already paid for the reservation.
I took a picture of my packare and posting it now. Thank you @jenniferw88 for all the goodies and books. ❤️😍

I started making beaded bracelets with my daughter. We needed a new hobby to keep us occupied. We are both creative so we both enjoy it. We have already given many of them to friends, children in kindergarten... These are the ones that were made today.

I didn't post for a while. Didn't have motivation. My love got injured and his dad died in the spring. We've had a tough time. But we're okay now. I was in a reading slump. Started reading some easy romance translated in slovenian. The best reading corner is outside in a hammock chair. Also my daughter finish pre-school kindergarten and in Seprember she'll start first grade. She's growing up so fast.💕🥰
I was sick all week. I was laid up with fever and aches. I had no will to read. I feel better today and started reading Zorrie for #SundayBuddyRead and Ready or Not for #LittensLoveRomance

Gray & Andi Jaxson. It was so spicy and suspense and dark as I like it so I couldn't put it down until I got to the last page.💙🩵💙🩵

#EasterCrafty Part 2
We cut out eggs from paper and drew on them. Leja painted 2 wooden eggs. I played with thread and a needle and created some unique decorations. 🐣
We also baked our traditional dessert called Potica (we chose the coconut flavour).

Easter weekend is over and we had so much time. Here are some staff that we did.
We dyed the eggs first in onion shells and then with food colours and turned them into smilies. Then we decorated the house. 🐣🐣🐣

#February #wrapup #bookreport #childrensbooks #picturebooks
We read 13 picture books in February. 4 books by local authors. Leja's favourite was Frozen 2. She's obsessed with Elsa lately. She's playing that she's a snow princess and will everything change into ice😄 Also wearing Tiara and Magic Wand.
My favourite was Snow Queen by Hans Christian Anderson. I loved it as a child.
