This week I created an Instagram account for Word Revel. I’ve been wanting to join all those bookish photo challenges and have fun with photo tags, so I figured it was about time. Even though I’ve had an Instagram account all along, it’s a personal account that I set to private, so opening that one up wasn’t an option for me. Either way, my username’s wordrevel, in case you wanna look me up.
Books are Objects of Cultural Consumption
Reading is such a deeply personal activity. It involves the reader and the book. Everything else is superfluous to reading. Even if a book isn’t read in solitude, reading is not an interactive endeavour. Neither sitting down in a café nor suntanning at the beach call for companionship when a book is involved.
Retrospect #24-25 (Double Edition): June 22nd
The most exciting thing that happened to me over the past two weeks was being able to watch the World University Floorball Championship 2014 finals yesterday! Watching the Swedish ladies and men, the Finnish ladies and the Swiss men battle it out for gold was super exciting. The ladies’ final especially was breath-taking as Finland managed to level with Sweden at 7-7, when they had been trailing by two goals for most of their match. In the end Sweden beat Finland on penalties though.
Retrospect #23: June 8th
I’m a day late with this weekly recap because I didn’t manage to wrap it up yesterday. My sister just came home at the end of last week after being abroad a few weeks for a community service project. That’s why I chose to spend more time with her over the weekend, since I hardly see her anymore.
Books to Movies: The Ultimate Reading Pressure
I have a confession to make. Actually, no. I have several confessions to make.
- I have not read The Fault in Our Stars. The ebook is currently on my Kindle but I’ve not even taken a peek.
- I own the German copy of If I Stay but have not read it.
- I pre-ordered Allegiant last year but then left it untouched in my shelf. I have yet to read it.
- I own the shiniest edition of The Hunger Games, which is a Scholastic UK Foil Luxe edition. It is all gold, screaming for attention on my shelf but I’ve not read that either.
- I have no idea what The Perks of Being a Wallflower is about because, you guessed it, I have not read it.
- I have not made an effort to read The Maze Runner.
