# 56 Relationship bust, can't wait until my next life

I would guess this is self explanatory. The person I thought I could connect to, decided he wanted to be friends with benefits instead of something serious. To say I'm sad, angry and heartbroken is truly an understatement. All I can say is, I sincerely hope that in my next life I will have social life that I dreamt of having in this life. I dream of not having depression nor anxienty nor ADHD. I dream of being normal, of feeling part of everyday crowd instead of being different or unable to find my place in this world. I also dream of getting married and having children with my one true love in my next life. Ah, I can't wait until my next life. 

My son and I have been lately reading and talking about Boxcar Children together a lot and I am surprised he is such a big fan of mysteries. He is also eligible to be part of a IB scholarship at a local school but how do I say this? Transportation is a very major issue. Somehow next week I doubt I will get any books.

New Arrivals At Svetlana's Reads And Views

 


It's Monday! What Are You Reading? 


(From The Book Date)

It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? a place to meet up and share what you have been, and are about to be reading over the week. It’s a great post to organise yourself. It’s an opportunity to visit and comment and er… add to your groaning TBR pile! So welcome in everyone. This meme started on J Kaye’s blog and then was hosted by Sheila from Book Journey. Sheila then passed it on to Kathryn here at The Book Date.
Jen Vincent, Teach Mentor Texts, and Kellee of Unleashing Readers decided to give It’s Monday! a kidlit focus. If you read and review books in children’s literature – picture books, chapter books, middle grade novels, young adult novels or anything in those genres – join them.

Paragraph: So I've pretty much kind of revamped the TBR mini column I have in choosing which books I'll read now and later and next. Thus I ended up reading and adding quite a few more that I read and finished but hadn't reviewed yet. I tell myself to do it, but I guess I suffer of anxiety of some sort.

Top Ten Tuesday


Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.

How it works:

I assign each Tuesday a topic and then post my top ten list that fits that topic. You’re more than welcome to join me and create your own top ten (or 2, 5, 20, etc.) list as well. Feel free to put a unique spin on the topic to make it work for you! Please link back to That Artsy Reader Girl in your own post so that others know where to find more information.

You’ll find the schedule of upcoming TTT topics below so you can plan ahead. I’ll post a Linky here on the blog each week so you can link up your post (if you want). If you don’t have a blog, post your picks in the comment section below! Have tons of fun talking books and getting to know your fellow bloggers!

NOTE: If a weekly topic is listed as a “freebie”, you are invited to come up with your own topic. Sometimes I will give your topic a theme, such as “love”, a season, or an upcoming holiday. That just means that you can come up with any topic you want that fits under that umbrella.

You’re more than welcome to use the Top Ten Tuesday image I designed above (or any of my older/seasonal ones), or make your own that fits your site’s theme.

October 24: Atmospheric Books (The Novelry explains this concept as: “A novel feels atmospheric when the setting and the narrative are deeply involved with one another; when characters and plot are physically embedded in their surroundings, and a near-tangible mood lifts from the pages and wraps itself around the reader.” Study.com explains that, “The atmosphere is how a writer constructs their piece to convey feelings, emotions, and mood to the reader. The atmosphere in literature might be tense, fast-paced, mysterious, spooky, whimsical, or joyful and can be found in poetry, stories, novels, and series.”)
