Q: If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be? Barcelona was not my first choice, but when a door closes a window opens. I wanted to live in Girona, but that option was denied to me, and now I'm living in Barcelona sharing a wonderful flat with three other girls. I moved in four days ago, so it's quite recent. I'm excited to start this new adventure! - P: Si pudieras vivir en cualquier parte del mundo, ¿dónde sería? Barcelona no fue mi primera opción, pero cuando una puerta se cierra se abre una ventana. Yo quería vivir en Girona pero esa opción se me negó por causas ajenas a mí, así que ahora vivo en Barcelona, en un precioso piso con tres chicas más. Me mudé hace solo cuatro días, así que es muy reciente. ¡Tengo muchas ganas de empezar esta nueva aventura! . . . . #acosf #acotar #sarahjmaas #queenmaas #maas #acowar #acomaf #acofas #darkacademia #academiaaesthetic #mirror #nessian #feysand #nesta #cassian #bookstagram #books (at la Nova Esquerra de l'Eixample, Barcelona) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNcIvKQLhHx/?igshid=1bib9rkkcs0vg

Q: What's a book you've read over and over again and still haven't had enough of it? If you don't reread then tell me your favorite book of this year so far! I finished my second book of the year yesterday - yes, my second book - and the first one only had 155 pages so my reading through these three first months of the year has been a bit shameful, tbh. But I'm starting to read daily again and I hope reading ACOSF will help. - P: Qué libro habéis leído una y otra vez y todavía no habéis leído lo suficiente? Si no releéis decidme cuál es de momento vuestro libro favorito del año. Ayer terminé mi segundo libro del año (sí, el segundo) y el primero tenía solo 155 páginas, así que mi lectura durante estos tres primeros meses del año ha sido un poco vergonzosa, la verdad. Pero estoy empezando a leer diariamente otra vez y espero que leer ACOSF ayude. . . . . #acosf #timesconvert #deborahharkness #adow #adiscoveryofwitches #darkacademia #darkfantasy #academia #books #bookobsessed #bookstagram #bookish #booksasoutfits #bookstagrammer #bookstagramespaña https://www.instagram.com/p/CM1qFRTrEmX/?igshid=1u6j984u15f6p

"Morning light can make the most vulgar things tolerable." — The Secret History, Donna Tartt - Q: Have you read any book by Donna Tartt? If yes, which one(s)? I've only read The Goldfinch yet because I feel intimidated by TSH, but let's encourage Donna Tartt to write more books because her writing is the most beautiful and wonderful thing in this world, isn't it? - P: ¿Habéis leído algún libro de Donna Tartt? Si es que sí, ¿cuál(es)? Yo solo he leído El jilguero de momento porqué me siento intimidada por El secreto, pero vamos a animar a Donna Tartt a escribir más libros porqué su escritura es la cosa más bonita y maravillosa de este mundo, ¿cierto? . . . . #tsh #darkacademia #thesecrethistory #donnatartt #thegoldfinch #darkcottagecore #cottagecore #academia #darkacademic #darkacademiavibes #darkacademiaaesthetic https://www.instagram.com/p/CL3ysJWATgx/?igshid=71jmk2y5wf99

Random quote from the book in the picture: "Following the example of our predecessors, therefore, we will only say that society in the reign on Queen Anne was of unparalleled brilliance." — Orlando (A Biography), Virginia Woolf - Q: What do you plan to read this month? Honestly I only plan to read Orlando, if I get to read anything at all. I'm still in this horrible reading slump and I don't know how to get out of it, it's demoralizing. But even so, I'm feeling quite good with myself these days, the good weather may have something to do with it but that's great anyway! Hope you're all well too. - P: ¿Qué planeáis leer este mes? Sinceramente solo planeo leer Orlando, si es que consigo leer algo. Todavía sigo en este horrible bloqueo lector y no sé cómo salir de él, es desmoralizador. Pero aún así, me siento bastante bien conmigo misma estos días, puede que el buen tiempo tenga algo que ver con eso, pero es bueno de todos modos. ¡Espero que vosotrxs también estéis bien! . . . . #orlando #virginiawoolf #darkacademia #darkcottagecore #cottagecore #sweater #cardigan #bookstagramespaña #bookstagram #book #booklover #booksasoutfits #books #bookishpost #bookish #bookishlove #readersofinstagram #reading https://www.instagram.com/p/CK_RQXvggZi/?igshid=1pu2b4l5tc4rp

~new year, new theme (kinda ?)~ Q: How are you today? Today's journal entry: We're running some renos at home and one of them is the yard, we're going to build a porch, which included chopping my tree (I say "my" tree because it was planted when I was born). It's sad because I've always linked my life to that tree, and now it's gone. So yes, obviously I cried. On a side note, I've changed my theme a bit, so the question is: should I archive the pictures that don't fit in my feed anymore or should I keep them? - P: ¿Cómo estáis hoy? Entrada de hoy en mi diario: Estamos haciendo unas cuantas renovaciones en casa y una de ellas es el jardín, vamos a construir un porche, lo que significa que hemos tenido que cortar mi árbol (digo "mi" árbol porqué lo plantaron cuando nací). Es triste porqué yo siempre ligué mi vida a ese árbol, y ahora ya no está. Así que sí, obviamente he llorado. Al margen de eso, he cambiado mi tema un poco, así que la pregunta es ¿debería archivar las fotos que ya no hacen juego con mi tema o debería mantenerlas? . . . . #darkbooks #theopenbook #academia #darkacademia #cottagecoreaesthetic #cottagecore #darkcottagecore #aesthetic #darktheme #booksofinstagram #bookstagram #bookstagramespaña #givemebooks #books #readmorebooks #read #readingslump https://www.instagram.com/p/CKlbUEKAy07/?igshid=1ppjiqsqrqm7g

"Keep your classics close." - Q: Your current favorite song? I'm going to open up to you a bit now, so please take a second to read this caption if you can. I've been in a reading slump for the last two months now, I don't think it's because I read a really good book that left me like that, I think it's more because of my situation—the world's situation. December wasn't a bad month but it wasn't good either, it was kind of a stand-by month for me, because it was Christmas and all I felt joyful but also kind of nostalgic and sad, I don't know. The thing is that I still feel like that sometimes (some days are good as heck and others look really gray), and that has affected my reading plans, I've only read a book yet this year and it had less than 200 pages, and yep, I don't feel like reading anything else this month, so what? Though I'm sorry for those authors who sent me their books to review them and for a couple of ARCs I know I won't enjoy as much as I would have if I was in the mood for reading so I don't read them, but I have to feel well within myself first, and that's applicable to bookstagram. You know I haven't posted much recently, and I'm sorry for abandoning you like that, but I'm in need of a long (intermittent) break and I'm taking the time I need to find the inspiration and the mood to post. I hope you understand. I still thank and love you all for supporting me, never forget that. 🧡 . . . . #darkacademic #darkcottagecore #darkacademiafashion #darkacademia #classy #classics #madamebovary #flaubert #penguinrandomhouse #penguin #penguinclassics #cottagecore #aesthetic https://www.instagram.com/p/CKWBtY_AMKs/?igshid=9vlw4vlgc41a

Q: What's a genre you want to read more of this year? Not a genre "per se", but I want to try to read all the classics on my tbr pile. I started reading classics last year and I really enjoyed them, so I bought more (mostly secondhand) in hopes I'd read them this year. - P: ¿Qué género os gustaría leer más este año? No es un género cómo tal, pero me gustaría poder leer todos los clásicos que tengo en mi montón de libros pendientes. Empecé a leer clásicos el año pasado y los disfruté tanto que compré más (mayoritariamente de segunda mano) con la esperanza de leerlos este año. . . . . #secondhand #secondhandbooks #classics #classic #classicbooks #darkacademia #lightacademia #plantsofinstagram #plants #plantslover #booksandplants #cottagecore #darkcottagecore #darkacademiaaesthetic #bronte #bovary #dickens #janeausten #austen #flaubert https://www.instagram.com/p/CKBq_W1AQq8/?igshid=1iyo9iwh1mc0i

Q: What are you currently reading? I'm starting an e-ARC of The Unfinished Land by Greg Bear right about now, and I'm pretty excited about it since Bear is a prized author. I'll let you know my thoughts on it when I finish it! ✨ Also, go to the link in my bio and click on "latest blog post" to read my first review of the year! - P: ¿Qué estáis leyendo?

HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYONE! 🎉🧡 2020, it was weird to meet you, I hope we'll never cross paths again. That was a hard year for all of us, we all lost something or someone last year, but I wish this new one will be better and bring us all wonderful things and happy moments. Q: How many books are you planning to read this year? A: I want to read 21. - ¡FELIZ AÑO NUEVO A TODOS! 🎉🧡 2020, ha sido raro conocerte, y espero no volverte a ver nunca.

MERRY CHRISTMAS to everyone who celebrate! 🎄✨ Q: What's in your Christmas wishlist this year (apart from books)?

Q: Which book from your shelves you know you'll never read? I have a copy of 4 3 2 1 by Paul Auster that I literally found in a box beside a paper dumpster, and I kept it because I saw a man on the train once who was reading it and his expressions made me think he was enjoying it. But I'm not 100% sure I'll read it. - P: ¿Qué libro de vuestras estanterías sabéis que no leeréis nunca? Yo tengo una copia de 4 3 2 1 de Paul Auster que literalmente encontré en una caja al lado de un contenedor de papel, y lo guardé porqué una vez vi a un hombre en el tren que lo estaba leyendo y sus expresiones me hicieron pensar que lo estaba disfrutando. Pero no estoy 100% segura de que lo vaya a leer. . . . . #4321 #arthurcclarke #scifi #mystery #books #booksandshares #bookstagramespaña #bookstagrammer #sharebooks #bookish #bookishlove #bookaddict #book https://www.instagram.com/p/CJGLCjFAl_I/?igshid=2a22bqorvi8d

Q: What's a book that helps you get out of a reading slump? I'm in an important reading slump right now, and there are some books that helped me before but I don't feel like rereading them right now, so I need some new recommendations. Thank you! - P: ¿Qué libro os ayuda a salir de un bloqueo lector? Estoy en un importante bloqueo lector ahora mismo, y hay un par de libros que me han ayudado antes a salir de alguno, pero no tengo ganas de releerlos, así que necesito nuevas recomendaciones. ¡Gracias! . . . . #readingslump #readingtime #christmas #merrychristmas #winter #coldweather #classics #classiclit #classicscommunity #darkcottagecore #darkacademia #bookstagramespaña #bookstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CJBBs0CgnGU/?igshid=x7lm38am7oi0

Q: Do you have pets? If not, what fantastic creature would you like to have as a pet? I don't think you're ready for the overload of cuteness both my dogs would create in a single shot, so here's one of them: Duna. She's lovely and really affectionate, though in the mornings she's pretty active and needs to run and play. She always needs someone near and loves to be petted. She's the sweetest thing on Earth. 🧡 - P: ¿Tenéis mascotas? No creo que estéis preparados para la sobrecarga de monería que supondrían mis dos perros en una sola foto, así que aquí tenéis a uno de los dos: Duna. Es adorable y muy afectuosa, aunque por las mañanas está muy activa y necesita correr y jugar. Siempre necesita a alguien cerca y le encanta que le acaricien. Es la cosa más dulce sobre la faz de la Tierra. 🧡 . . . . #petsofinstagram #petstagram #pet #booksandpets #petsandbooks #bookstagram #bookstagramespaña #books #bookishlove #bookishpost #bookphotography https://www.instagram.com/p/CI5SufvgKNf/?igshid=oczbdci7q7nh

Q: Who do you spend your holidays with? I haven't been inspired to take new pictures these last days, that's why I haven't post daily, I guess you all understand when I say that sometimes the pressure of having to be original, artsy and inspirational every day ends up draining me somehow so I need little breaks to recompose myself and get new ideas. Also, personally I get tired of the social media and need to take long breaks from it for my own mental health, and that's what I've been doing this week. I hope you understand. 🧡 - P: ¿ Con quién pasáis las fiestas? No he estado inspirada para sacar nuevas fotos estos ultimo días, por eso no he publicado diariamente, supongo que todos me entendéis cuando digo que la presión por ser original, artística e inspiradora cada día me acaba por agotar de algún modo así que necesito pequeñas pausas para recomponerme y tener nuevas ideas. Además, personalmente acabo cansándome de las redes sociales y necesito más tiempo para descansar de ellas por mi propia salud mental, y eso es lo que he estado haciendo esta semana. Espero que lo entendáis. 🧡 . . . . #darkcottagecore #darkacademia #cassian #acofas #acotar #holidays #bookish #book #openbook #sjm #sweater #coffeeandseasons #coffeeandbooks #booksandcoffee https://www.instagram.com/p/CI2y1naAAme/?igshid=1nev7ru233l2w

Q: What's the character you hate the most? I feel like for me it must be Boris from The Goldfinch. He's such an imbecile, useless, childish, drug addict and alcoholic who only thinks about money. He might have a redemption arc, but in exchange of what? His health and the health of his friends? No, I keep thinking he's a really bad influence for Theo, he's toxic and I can't stand him. Even (more) after all he does. Sorry not sorry. - P: ¿Cuál es el personaje que más odiáis? Siento que para mí este es Boris, de El jilguero. Es un imbécil, inútil, infantil, adicto a las drogas y alcohólico que solo piensa en el dinero. Puede que tenga un arco de redención, pero ¿a cambio de qué? ¿De su salud y la salud de sus amigos? No, sigo pensando que es una muy mala influencia para Theo, es tóxico y no lo soporto. Aun (más) después de todo lo que hace. Lo siento pero no lo siento. . . . . #hatedcharacter #thegoldfinch #darkacademia #academia #donnatartt #lightacademia #darkcottagecore #painting #books #bookstagrammer #bookstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CIvCZSjANYJ/?igshid=v2r5u65nflkd
