As I write this it is my last cosy Sunday in my current flat before we move into the flat that we have bought, Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 1 is on and I’m avoiding the thought of taking my books off of the bookcase. I have barely done any reading this month (though I say that only in comparison to myself and with the full understanding that this month has been crazy busy) and so I am definitely excited to move and finally get back on track. But I am still scared, even though I’ll have much more freedom I find it stressful to move even though I know that once I get in I’ll be so relieved and happy.
I have no idea what I want to do with my books, I’m definitely wanting to get more bookcases to stop my current overflowing TBR. But whether I want to keep them in alphabetical order or do genre/feature shelves or even rainbow or just a mix… I have no idea. I just want them to look beautiful on the shelves and be able to locate all of my favourites really easily.
To do that though, I need to buy some bookcases. I think I’m going to go for the ikea billy bookcases because I love the look of them when people post photos of them. In the distant future I’d also love to get a cosy little chair that I can have for a reading corner, but I honestly don’t think we have the space for it at the moment, so one thing at a time! I’m going to slowly build the library of my dreams.
I’m hoping that next month I’ll be able to do more reading, because I won’t be going back and forth between flats every weekend or preparing various things, and I’ll have half term too! Which is desperately needed, work has been so busy and hectic that I am so looking forward to the break, and very glad it coincides with the move, so I can get in and arrange things and hopefully do some relaxing!
Another thing I’m really excited for is my cat, finally after about 5 years I’ll be living with my cat again! By the time you read this, hopefully Luna will be sat next to me (or hiding somewhere because of the move). I had to leave her at home while I went to uni and then we weren’t allowed pets while in our current flat, so finally having her back is going to be so lovely. I miss the comforting presence of an animal after a long day, to snuggle up with and look after.
So all in all, I’m excited for this new chapter, even if a little nervous. I think it’s definitely making me start to feel like a real grown up now, which is a scary thought but I think it is going to be good and I’m very glad that we were lucky enough to be able to buy a house before the recent economic crisis. We have been so lucky, and I’m very thankful for that, even if it has been a very tough month financially. So there’s a little update for you and an explanation as to why I have been a little quiet lately, I hope you also have lots of exciting things coming up to look forward to!
