Hope to finish this book this week!

Traveled with the train today and I can say that I am continually disappointed in humanity when I look at how people behave in the silent compartment of the train

Had a very nice reading session in the library :)

Accidentally got spoiled extremely hard earlier this week. I should have expected that when I looked up ‘Pride and Prejudice’ on youtube when I was looking for the soundtrack

Actually liking this book now! Hopefully I can start reading outside again to romanticise my life more

Of course Jane Austen makes ‘Jane’ the pretty one of the family haha

Alright the book is starting to get better, but I am looking forward to my next book

Really trying to like this but it’s hard. I guess the transition from Romans to romance is not easy

This book is way too big to be carrying around, so I will read it occasionally whenever I’m in Eindhoven. Liking it so far!

Here goes my first foray into romance!
Funny how people ask me how I can remember all the things in my history books, but now I’m supposed to remember all the names of the billion daughters of Mr. Bennet

I literally have no clue what the previous chapter was about. Thanks Chatgpt for explaining it to me<3

I’m trying to like this, but I catch myself losing focus sometimes

Enjoying this book, I love insights into the daily lives of Romans. From invitations to birthday parties, letters that request more beer for the troops or sad tombstones dedicated to lovers, it’s very interesting to read about

Didn’t expect to finish Stilton yesterday, so I brought this book from Eindhoven and started it in the train. I hope to visit Hadrian’s Wall some day!

Hope to finish this book soon. But I definitely enjoyed it

A bit disappointed that Geronimo left Alexander so quickly (and that they met when Alexander was a kid), but at least we got to see him

I can’t believe that Geronimo Stilton is talking to a mouse Alexander the Great. This book is amazing

Absolutely loving this book, also happy to read this so that I don’t lose my Italian entirely. Geronimo Stilton is an ICON!

I’m not saying that I would be a great general or something but how do you forget to look at the entire left flank of your army

Having 150.000 men fight a single battle in 217 BC is crazy, that’s more than the whole population of Maastricht on the battlefield!

Imagine how terrifying it must have been to fight elephants, especially if you’ve never seen one before. Having 85 of them charging at you and your officer commanding you to hold your ground is the closest we will ever get to fighting mythological monsters or something

I wish that I could travel back in time and save Eumenes😭😭😭😭😭😭

I can’t wait for someone at a party or something to ask me what my favourite battle of all time is

Ancient philosophy can be very interesting, but many times it goes on and on and on and on about things I don’t understand/don’t care for.

I think that I will start reading some fiction after this book, but I will admit that that’s kinda scary! I hope I will like it :)

Trying to revive my policy of ‘History in the streets, philosophy in the sheets’ where I read a history book through the day and a philosophy book in bed before sleeping

Uni and my phone have kept me away from reading, but I am getting back into it!
