Bookish Life Update

Hey there bookworms!

It's been a while since I wrote something on here, but a lot has been going on. First, I started over on booktube a while back. I filmed a couple of videos and I really had fun with it and I still have many more ideas for videos I'd like to film, but here's the catch:

I would like to film more videos, but at the same time, I can't bring myself to do it. Booktube is extremely time consuming. And there's one thing I don't have enough of at the moment, and that's, you've guessed it, time.

Which brings me to the life update I want to talk about. I started an apprenticeship on the 1st of August: I'm learning to be a bookseller! At the moment, I'm working full time at the bookstore, but there will also be school periods in the second and third year. I'm really excited and so far it's been a lot of fun and all my colleagues are really nice. I'm really happy. But it's also very exhausting, and in my spare time I'd rather look after my horse and read than film and edit videos. I'm sure you'll understand (in case anyone reads this, that is. If you do, let me know!).

As for reading, I'm on a mission. Being a bookseller means I have to know many different books. I've only been a fantasy and sci-fi reader, but I want to broaden my horizon and read more books from different genres. This isn't exactly easy, but I really want to do it!

And I started with one genre that I never would've thought I'd pick up one day: New Adult Romance. I'm not a fan of romance. I usually find it to be cheesy, unrealistic and/or boring. Well, I'm aromantic and asexual, so that may have something to do with it ;) Anyway, I've started to read a New Adult book (that seems to be leaning more towards the erotica genre btw) and it isn't going too bad so far.

That was my life update in terms of books! There's a lot going on and also, I will be moving next month. Yay, more excitement and work to come! I hope you are all well. Happy reading and until next time,
