My Bookish Life

Went to the cinema to see this with a friend a week back. I had heard the soundtrack before but couldn't get much out of it, I didn't really know what this movie was about but I heard such good reviews I had to see it. Well anyway it was awesome! [CAUTION: spoilers ahead!] So I loved all the songs but obviously I had a few favorite scenes / songs. I loved the beginning when The Greatest Show is presented and you see all the success before you just realise it's just a young boy dreaming for now...  And of course where Barnum and Charity visit this old house. It was fantastic as beginning, seeing him still dreaming and she supporting him. I was very happy to see, that he finally had THE idea for starting a business and even tho he cheated on the bank, he got successful. My first "love it" moment was the song Come Alive. Fantastic text, beautiful scene... Seeing him trying to please high society hurt me somehow... He tried so hard to be accepted by the ...

“If there's a book that you want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it.” ― Toni Morrison I said it myself and I hear others say it: I write. Some will now say "Any idiot writes these days!" others might say "Not everyone can write!" and then there are the ones - like myself - who say "Everyone CAN write." It doesn't matter if you publish it, or where you publish it. I doesn't even matter what you write. It can be a fanfiction, a novel, a short story, a poem, a children story etc. It doesn't matter! If you want to write, if it makes you truly happy, if you feel good while doing it: do it! Keep going! Is it art? It is in my opinion. Books are art. Like paintings. Like music. Over centuries the human race created stunning things. Amazing things no one could have thought of at the beginning. The Colosseum in Rome, the Seven Wonders of the World, La Gioconda, Van Gogh's Sunflowers, L'Opera ...

You know, it's not only the big things that count and make me happy these days. It's more like the simple things in life. I always have been very calm but since I moved out, I got even calmer. I haven't been out to party for ages and I don't want to to be honest. Yes sometimes the feeling is there and I plan something but it never happens because then I think, why do it? I can't drink because I've to drive, it's expensive and loud and when you're out alone, guys are being rude and insistent so I'd rather stay home curled up with a good book or watching Netflix. I love "big things" to happen tho, don't get me wrong but since I can't afford most of it anyway it's small stuff I buy/ do and I'm happy too. Also a tip of my old therapist. Yes I had one a few months after I quit Uni. It really did help to make me fell better. By the time it was hard to get out of bed and do anything at all because I felt like a complete failur...

“The city takes a breath on Sunday. Of all that’s lost with the pursuit of what’s next, I hope we don’t lose that…”  ―  Hawksley Workman ,  Hawksley Burns for Isadora Sonntag. Domenico. Dimanche. Domingo. Sunday... Always loved those to be honest. It's like an official holiday. You don't have to work, no shops are open, you can go and have dinner tho and the world seems calm and a bit asleep. Sunday is my day. The day I usually do nothing except the things I love. (Well except I've a huge and important test in school but that's a different story.) Sometimes I'm at my parents and my mum and I cook together. But when I'm alone it's mostly lazy. But there are some things I always do on a Sunday. Things that I enjoy and that got a bit of a ritual like making myself a nice cup of tea in the morning. Wandering from my bed to my comfortable sofa to enjoy my cuppa and read or write or watch a show/movie. Sometimes I also enjoy a long hot shower or a nice ...

Hello everybody! I don't really know how to beginn... All you need to know is in my bio but well... I'm a 25 year old girl from Germany. I'm working as a freight forwarder in a quite big European company and I really do love my job. I'm still in training but just until April, then we'll have our final tests. Anyway... I love books, my car, archery, writing, taking pictures and all things "England". I'm addicted to this country and truly fell in love when I visited it once in 2009. I miss it and hope, I'll be back soon. I'm pretty active on Twitter and I have found some amazing people there I can call friends. One also has a blog here, please follow her if you're interested. You can find her blog  here . The idea of a blog existed years ago and that was the reason I started a Tumblr blog. I kinda used it for fandom things and not too much for personal ones so I decided to start this one. I'm not very strict with posting stuff s...
