Hope your week went well \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>So three things happened this week.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h3><strong>1. I got one step closer to completing my Harry Potter collection<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-8605 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/travellingthroughwords.com\/index.php\/2017\/06\/29\/bookish-discovery-this-week-2\/images-4\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/travellingthroughwords.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/images1-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/travellingthroughwords.com\/index.php\/2017\/06\/29\/bookish-discovery-this-week-2\/51xpzcebgel-_sx324_bo1204203200_\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/travellingthroughwords.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/51xpzcebgel-_sx324_bo1204203200_-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>I have read the whole series 4 times but I don&#8217;t own all the books. This year, I have slowly starting collecting them. I bought the 2nd and 3rd book this week anf I only have to get the 5th and 6th book now.<\/p>\n<p>I also immediately started reading the second book.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>2. I re-read Pride and Prejudice<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"  wp-image-6791 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/travellingthroughwords.files.wordpress.com\/2017\/04\/lrm_export_20170430_194004.jpg\" alt=\"LRM_EXPORT_20170430_194004\" width=\"272\" height=\"484\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I read Pride and Prejudice when I was 11 and since then, I have attempted to re-read it a few times but I always left it after a few chapters. I didn&#8217;t remember much of the book and I really wanted to enjoy it and form an opinion on it. I like the story but the language and dialogue are really dense. However, this year, with some motivation and by listening a part of the book on audio, \u00a0i was able to finally finish it! It did take me 2 whole months though \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n<p>My final thoughts on this book-<\/p>\n<p>I really love the story. Not only in the book, but I absolutely loved the 2005 movie and the web series The Lizzie Bennet Diaries.<\/p>\n<p>This is not the best book I have ever read and its not my favorite book but it is certainly very enjoyable. I&#8217;m glad I re-read this book and now I can just keep it aside.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>3. I decided to get back into poetry<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"  wp-image-8630 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/travellingthroughwords.files.wordpress.com\/2017\/06\/9781449474256_p0_v11_s1200x630.jpg\" alt=\"9781449474256_p0_v11_s1200x630\" width=\"240\" height=\"373\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travellingthroughwords.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/9781449474256_p0_v11_s1200x630.jpg 406w, https:\/\/travellingthroughwords.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/9781449474256_p0_v11_s1200x630-193x300.jpg 193w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 240px) 100vw, 240px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve always been into poetry. I enjoy reading it and have also wrote quite a few over the years. However, in all the craze of reading novels, I always neglect poems. This week I went shopping and bought Milk and Honey by Rupi Kaur. I don&#8217;t really know what to say about it but I did write a short Goodreads review to jot down my feelings.
