A Book To Help With Bad Grades | Literary Remedies

I’m on summer break right now, but during the school year, I always, always struggle with bad/disappointing grades, so I’d love to read a book that can comfort me about my problems with grades!

50 Shades of Green | Bookending Spring

I love sorting books by colour, so today’s Bookending Spring prompt is right up my street! I even had my bookshelves sorted by colour for a while, but ultimately sorting them by author & genre did feel more intuitive.

Liebster Award Nomination

Favourite Blog Posts Of March

This March wrap-up is coming to you a day late because, I’ll be honest, I haven’t felt very motivated to blog recently. Three weeks ago all Dutch schools closed and I have been working/teaching from home since. Though I am grateful to have something to do, and the creative solutions for keeping in touch with my students are very interesting to learn about, the work is also quite taxing, and —perhaps more importantly— all on my computer. After a day of sitting at my desk and working on my laptop, I don’t want to spend my free time sitting at my desk and working on my laptop as well.

Side note: How many times do you have to read something before you can call it your favourite book?
