Hello everyone! How are you all doing? I present to you all a little late August Wrap-Up.

So I decided to slow down a bit and focus more on my studies than reading and blogging. It’s my last year of school and I had exams from 11th September so it was high time I studied. Also, my laptop broke down so I couldn’t really write much. But guess what happened? I fractured my toe. Yes, the smallest toe on my right foot. It might not sound like a big deal and I thought so too. But apparently, I am not allowed to walk and they’ve wrapped up my whole foot till my calf with a huge plaster. I have to wear it for 3 weeks and I can’t walk much for the first week atleast. Because of this, I can’t even give my damn exams.

Anyways, I’m sure you guys don’t want to read about my toe-whining so I’ll just tell you what’s upcoming. I may get a laptop in September so there might be more posts. I am trying my hardest to focus the most on my studies but reading and blogging are basically my life so I can’t help it okay?

Now let us finally begin with my August wrap-up.                                                                         

Books I Read

1. Cobalt Blue by Sachin Kundalkar, translated by Jerry Pinto

Goodreads

Amazon

My rating- 4.5 stars

Originally written in Marathi, this book was translated in English by Jerry Pinto. When a couple of friends recommended this book, i instantly looked it up and was very intrigued by the plot. Cobalt Blue follows the story of siblings Anuja and Tanay. Their lives are completely changed when a paying guest comes to live with them. Both of them fall for him and the book shows how both of their lives are separately affected by him.

This book was a very powerful, emotional read. I read it in one sitting and it was one of the most engaging books I have ever read. I loved the writing and how poetic and gripping it was. I honestly don’t know how to describe how I felt about this book but I’m very glad I read it. The first part of the book is what stood out for me. The pain, the love and the sadness and the beautiful way in which the story was told was absolutely amazing. I highly recommend this book.

Tv Shows Watched

I finished watching Shadowhunters Season 2B and this season got so silly towards the end. The only reason I was watching was Malec and because I wanted to see Clace happen. Also, that scene in the last episode with Jace was so epic in the books but it was so boring in the show.

I’ll say this show was fun to watch at times and I’m grateful for the Malec scenes but overall, it was a mess.

Game of Thrones Season 7- I can’t believe that its over and we have to wait for so long for season 8! Anyways, I don’t really have much to say. I’m not over-analysing verything that happened or forming crazy theories, I’m just enjoying the show as it goes.

Teen wolf Season 2B– I have started watching it and I’m only 3 episodes in. So far so good.

Ever since I finished Teen Wolf, I’ve been in bad need of a long tv show and while searching for sitcoms, I stumbled across Community. After the first few episodes, I almost gave up because I thought this show was very mediocre- the way I felt about Two and a Half Men. But i’m so freaking glad I didn’t and I just finished this show yesterday. I badly wanted a friendship sitcom like How I Met Your Mother and I loved what this show had. It was creative, different, even weird at times but I loved it. If you guys know what I should watch after this, please let me know.

Songs I Listened To On Repeat

I know you guys are probably tired of seeing me always talking about Ed Sheeran here but I can’t help how amazing he is. So these are the songs I listened to on repeat this month-
