Hello Everyone!
I was reading again. I have to say I missed it so much and I find reading such an important part in life as you do something for yourself, you heart, your soul. I have bought so many book I want to read, yet I have such little time with being a senior in school now. Yet, what I have learned is that we, or I need some "Me- Time" in the day. So I have taught myself to go to bed earlier and have that our before I fall asleep to read. This helps me calm down, reset, chill and relax.
As you may know or not, I am a huge fan of Lucinda Riley as I connect to the main topics she writes about a lot. In her book she always has a similar story line or structure which is that the story start in the now but then travels back time and generations and explain the current situation of the main character from the past, with all the drama, heartaches and hurdles that have happened.
The book I want to introduce to you today is "The Midnight Rose". Written by Lucinda Riley and published in 2013 by Pan Mcmillan (UK).
The book is a romantic novel which is telling the life story of Anahita Chevan to help clarify a lives mystery of hers with the help of her past four generations back to the now and her great grand son. On the journey there is magic, love and passion involved that makes the reader connect with the main characters on another level.
Our reading journey takes us back to India and longs from the British Raj to the present day through the memories of Anahita and and Donald's diary as well as experiences that are happening whilst finding answers to a believe and instinct that eventually solves a life changing moment in the life of Anahita. The book is written for young and old as it connects from levels that only mothers understand as well as the passionate love that us people experience throughout our adolescent years of life all spiced with a bit of magic and reality of life.
I always find myself being absolutely spell bounded only after reading the first chapter of the book as the story lines always have me asking so many questions that I burn to know. However, the solution sonly found in the final chapters which takes me on an exciting journey where I not only learn about history and life acceptance but experience real emotions as well! Yes, I actually cried, and I am one of the most unemotional people in history, I believe.
Now all that there is left to say for me is that I hope that you will close you App, PC or notebook after you ordered the book here or downloaded the audio book as you might want to rather listen because of motivational lack or timely issues.
I really hope you will read or listen to the story as it is a wonderful one and not for any reason a bestseller!

My Three Favourite Things In Summer

Hello Everyone!
This year symbols a real summer to me since it's really hot in the first time for 3 years. Like constantly over 30 degrees Celsius. And this actually allows me and all the the other people of course as well to be really outdoorsy. Except the last days I have been rather introverted because of work and with the current heat it's not the best idea to hum around outside to be honest.
Anyways I made a list of my three favorite things in summer and I want to show:
My first favorite thing this summer is skating.
I love skating, feeling the wind through my hair, the fresh air, beautiful landscape. All whilst either having a great conversation with my sister who sometimes comes with me or listening to nice music. Its so peaceful and I just feel free.
This year the weather has been great, very hot and sunny so there are a lot of opportunities to actually go skating which I am using as much as I can. Also skating is a great exercise to tone your legs, get fit and active. But the best thing is that your can either do it by yourself or with others as well.
The second best thing this summer is reading.
Currently I am reading two books. One for when I am in a more serious mood and the other for when I need light lectures. The book in the picture is "An apple a day" by Emma Woolf and deals with her journey from anorexia recovery. It's a personal topic to me and I enjoy everything I can get in my hand about recovery. The other book is called "Midnight Rose" from Lucinda Riley. She is one of my favorite authors and generally writes about historic family love stories. Just some somatic book and I can guarantee it'll make me cry in the end or leave me speechless just like the others.
And last but not least: A simple melon can make my morning this year.
I don't know how I did it last year but this year all I want it melon. It's not only very much hydrating the body after a good nights sleep but it also tastes amazingly sweet and amazing, fresh and cool. Also it is very light, boosts your metabolism and it pretty to look at as well. I am seriously in love! I love to just cut the whole thing in two halves and spoon it out.
What are your favorite things this summer? I'd love to know! Tell me in the comments.
