So I finally tasted the popular Pumpkin Spice Late at the local Starbucks, I liked it all right, and I wonder... have I unlocked another Instagram level? wait I even have a new book, it's the Spanish "pocket size" edition (ha!) of Anthony Doerr's "All the Light We Cannot See" which was recommended to me by a friend, hipster coffee+book=how many levels? Does anybody know? I also bought my lovely @abookkeper’s birthday gifts (with an 's' at the end *wink wink*) and a Halloween gift for another lovely friend who might be reading this. It's a surprise so... shhhh . Al final he probado el famoso Pumpkin Spice Latte del Starbucks y me gustó, me pregunto si habré desbloqueado otro nivel de Instagram. Incluso tenía un libro nuevo que me recomendó una amiga. café moderneta+libro=cuantos niveles? Alguien lo sabe? Aproveché para comprar los regalos de cumple de mi adorable Leti (regalos con s, ahi lo dejo) y un regalo de Halloween para otra persona a la que adoro y que podría estar leyendo esto, es una sorpresa , así que... shhhh . . . . . #Starbucks #StarbucksCoffee #hipstercoffee #October #newbook #AnthonyDoerr #books #bookstagram #pollyreadsstuff #AutumnReads #bookshopping #bookstagram #booklover #IGreads (en El Corte Inglés)

Last week I was having problems with my eyes. It was hard for me to focus, I couldn’t concentrate, I had sore eyes... eventually after some checks and tests my physician told me that it was all nerves and stress. That I had to slow down and take it easy. For a moment there I thought she was going to tell me not to read so much. How was I to tell her that I’m at my happiest when I’m amongst books? That reading is my relaxing retrear? Would she understand? . La semana pasada empecé a tener problemas en los ojos, dolor y problemas de vision. Tras algunas pruebas mi medico lo atribuyó todo al estrés y a los nervios. Por un momento pensé que iba a pedirme que no leyera tanto. Pero ¿Cómo hacerle entender que soy feliz cuando estoy entre libros, que leer es lo que más me relaja? . . . . . #books #bookstagram #pollyreadsstuff #personal #booklovers #webtroverts #AutumnReads #currentlyreading #concepstore #bookshops #bookstagram #booklover #IGreads (en La Central 1897)
