What's a book to film adaptation that you love? • • I finally saw Greta Gerwig's Little Women last night and I am in love. I haven't really found the right words yet to explain why and how much I loved this film but I adored it and I immediately wanted to see it again right away. I read the book for the first time last month, in preparation for the film, and I really liked it but the film blew me away. It's set in the 19th century but it somehow felt very contemporary. The script, the direction, the actors, their chemistry, the cinematography - these women living their lives... I loved it all. 💛 For me, this is the best film of the year.

Are you a jam first or a cream first kind of person when it comes to scones? I found out I prefer mine with lemon curd! • • I can cross the first thing of my '2020 Bake It List'! Last weekend, I finally baked scones for the first time. And the second time, actually, because the first batch did *not* turn out great. The recipe is now up on the blog! #linkinbio

What's the book that's been on your TBR the longest? • • Everything Is Illuminated was the first book I ever added to my TBR on Goodreads. That happened in 2013 and for the longest time, this book just sat on my shelves, waiting for me to read it. And now, in February 2020, I finally did it! I'm not sure why, but I never felt compelled to pick up Everything Is Illuminated. For 7 years, there was always another book that took precedence. But then, #BacklistBookathon happened, and one of the prompts for the readathon was to read the oldest book on your TBR and I finally picked this up. I'm so glad I've now finally read this! • • I'm not going to lie, it took me a long time to really get into the story, mostly because of the narrating style of about half of the chapters (they are told through the eyes of a Ukrainian guy whose English is very peculiar). But after about 100 pages, I was hooked and I ended up being incredibly impressed by the story and giving it 4 stars! 🤓📚

What was your favourite book you read in January? 🤓 • • I had a great first reading month of the year! I read five books in January - the four ones pictured here and the audiobook for The Bear and the Nightingale by Katherine Arden. Apart from Tell Me How You Really Feel, I gave all of them 4 stars or more. 😄 My favourite was definitely Call Down the Hawk! If you want to know more about my thoughts on these books, go check out my newest blog post in which I review them all (link in bio)! 📚🤓

The first new recipe of the year is up on my blog now (link in bio)! I made lemon and poppy seed muffins for the first time and they were delicious. 💛 Last week, I also made a list of 10 things I really want to try baking in 2020 (you can also find that one on the blog)! What's something you want to bake in 2020? Or, if you don't bake, what's something you want to try doing this year? 😊

What's the first book you've finished in 2020? (Or are reading in 2020 if you haven't finished it yet 😄) • • I finished my first book of the year today and it was a good one! I'm a big fan of The Raven Cycle so it's not that surprising that I'd love Call Down the Hawk as well, but I have to admit that I was a little scared to be disappointed before going in. No need for that, though, because this was amazing 💙 I was so happy that this didn't lean too much on TRC - it's entirely its own story and has a very different atmosphere while at the same time fitting in with the rest of the Raven Cycle world. Loved it!
