Monthly Blog Recap: September




Hello!

 How was September for you? Mine was both calm and stressful at the same time. It started calmly but as soon as the beginning of my studies approached, it was becoming more and more hectic! How come? Well, very easily, mostly the week before the studies we got to be partying nearly every day. And trust me that's exhausting, even though I didn't drink as much as my friends did. Well, and imagine, and even today in the evening we are going partying, as for most of us, the studies for this week have ended. 

 For me: one lecture was cancelled, tomorrow is a holiday in Cyprus, meaning two more lectures cancelled, and well on Friday I don't have any lectures. xD Oh, there's actually big announcement. I got a camera! it's Nikon D5500, and I am really excited to use it, especially if I was asked by my stepmom to be the official photographer for her even this Saturday. 

 I am pumped, what about you? Are you ready to put on jeans, and coats as well as boots very soon? it's not going to be very soon for me, but still... 

 XOXO

 Katie

Hello, everyone!

 How was your week? Mine was good but quite exhausting. For the last 2 days, we as students have been partying before the studies start. so you can guess, what kind of life it was during that days. However, I didn't really need to go to the gym, it was fun dancing all night long! 

 Well, next week my 3rd year of uni studies is starting, so I am getting ready. It also helps, that we will have a holiday on Thursday, meaning I will miss two lectures, but I will go to my dad's as I will be in charge of photo shoot on a very important seminar for my stepmom. It's going to be interesting and fun as well. 

 Oh, and on Monday I'll have my hair cut a bit, to give it a fresh look, the previous hairdresser did a fantastic work chopping my hair mismatched, it's still long, but every time I want to put it down I see so unsymmetrical parts, it's driving me crazy. 

 Well, I hope your week was good. Hope you didn't miss anything that was happening on my blog! 

 XOXO

 Katie

Waiting on Wednesday #61 Forever With You


Waiting On” Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill @ Breaking the Spine It’s a chance to showcase upcoming releases we are interested in or drooling over.



Forever With You by Jennifer L. Armentrout

Wait for You #5

29 September 2015

Goodreads

In the irresistibly sexy series from #1 New York Times bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout, two free spirits find their lives changed by a one-night stand…

Some things you just believe in, even if you've never experienced them. For Stephanie, that list includes love. It's out there. Somewhere. Eventually. Meanwhile, she's got her job at the mixed martial arts training center and hot flings with gorgeous, temporary guys like Nick. Then a secret brings them closer, opening Steph's eyes to a future she never knew she wanted—until tragedy rips it away.

Nick's self-assured surface shields a past no one needs to know about. His mind-blowing connection with Steph changes all that. As fast as he's knocking down the walls that have kept him commitment-free, she's building them up again, determined to keep the hurt—and Nick—out. But he can't walk away. Not when she's the only one who's ever made him wish for forever . . . 

What are you waiting for?

 Hello, everyone!

 How was your week? Mine was quite good, as I've been living with my stepbrother and my stepmom, well, dad went somewhere for work things, so we were three at home. I got to go to the beach and could work all I wanted on my blog, as I didn't need to be concerned about the food issue or that I need to go somewhere. 

 I also got to order a number of books, so I will be waiting to receive them shortly, I am very excited. 

 Tell me how you spent your week? I only have one more until the term starts and I will be busy with studies and club activities. 

 XOXO

 Katie

My Thoughts


Review covers 9 chapters 

Hello everyone and welcome back to Katie’s Corner! Another mini manga review here! This time I have a sweet romance story. I’ve read several works by Kana Nanajima and this time I thought of making a mini review to introduce this author.

First of all, all the stories that I’ve read by Nanajima-sensei radiate some kind of happiness and this story is not an exception. I loved the characters a lot. They made my heart flutter as if I myself was a girl in love. Strange feeling to say the truth…

The ending made me laugh a lot. Especially Kazuya;s delusions on how he steals An. My mouth was open for a whole minute before I turned the page to read that it was all a delusion. My disappointment had no bounds. Yep, was not a big fan of Anzu x Rei pairing.

If you want to relax and read something sweet click on mangafox link and start reading now! Stay tuned for more on Katie’s Corner and don’t forget to share your thoughts below! Happy reading!

XOXO

Katie
