#qotd : What made your week?

Oh what a beautiful, difficult, worthwhile week it has been for me. I've just become a mum to a healthy baby boy. I've laughed a lot, but also cried a bit here and there to be honest.

Looking at my bookstagram feed has made me feel comforted despite my inactivity in posting and interacting. I've read all your tags, posts, and I'm really excited to jump back in. But not quite soon. 🌻

Thank you, @charmingcharrm
for the tag! 🤗

Here are some of my highlights:

• Something that made you laugh 

I didn't pack enough clothes for my husband as I thought we would only stay for a few days in the hospital. 

He asked for more clothes to be delivered and to his surprise / dismay, he only received one set! 

We were to stay for five more days. It really made me laugh that my stitches started burning! Poor guy. 🤣

• A hard thing you accomplished 

Breastfeeding!

• A thought you had 

I started getting annoyed with Bunny's character in The Secret History. I wish I had brought my pens and highlighter but that's already a luxury for now. Having brought this book, some tabs, and a pen is enough. And boy did I have a lot of thoughts to write! But so far, I have enjoyed reading this book!!! Beautiful writing!

• A standout moment 

Becoming a mum!

• The best thing you ate 

A nice, sweet, ripe papaya! 🤭

Tagging you here and hope to read about your highlights too! 😘

"For after all, the best thing one can do when it is raining is let it rain."
- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

I rarely read poetry but when I saw this stunning copy I couldn't pass it up! 🙈 I've read most of the short poems here already and it convinced me to read more poetry in the future. 

Happy Valentine's Day, everyone! I hope you enjoyed your day with your loved ones. 🥰

#qotd : What's a book or series you're planning on rereading this year? 

#aotd : I'm planning on rereading The Lord of the Rings trilogy and Anne of Green Gables this year. The former, so I can introduce the lore to our newborn who's joining us soon, and the latter because I've always loved Anne. She's played a big part in my childhood.❤️
