What I Did On My Holiday

My favourite person in the world

Hey guys! Just thought I'd summarise what I got up to on my uni break - despite the fact I didn't get to travel anywhere special, I can't tell you how nice it was just to be able to spend time with my favourite people on a regular basis. And of course, the freedom to watch TV shows and read without feeling guilty. 

Series I watched:

  • House of Cards S2
  • The Newsroom S3
  • Orange is the New Black S3
  • The Killing S1

Books I read (also featured here):
  • A Court of Throne and Roses - Sarah. J, Maas
  • I'll Give You the Sun - Jandy Nelson
  • All The Bright Places - Jennifer Niven
  • We Were Liars - E. Lockhart
  • Dreams of Gods and Monsters - Laini Taylor 
If you can't tell, my favourite genres are contemporary and fantasy YA. My dream in life is to write a successful YA novel (how hard can that be right?), and spend the rest of my life reading and writing. Yup, totally achievable... Oh and if you have a goodreads account, please add me! You can find me at www.goodreads.com/thynguyen97 I need more bookfriends (or friends in general). If you don't have an account, you should really make one because it makes reading even more satisfying when you can track your progress. 

Here's what I got up to when I wasn't in my room reading/watching TV (woo, introvert life): 


Green Tea Bingsoo with James & Jess- we ordered extra red bean and they came individually on a little spade and I think I laughed so hard I teared

 So, this post was 75% food, what a surprise hahaha. I did warn you my holidays were relatively uneventful - I am really hoping to travel next holidays, but first, to survive the semester and save money (a dire situation to say the least). Anyway, hope you're all well, love Thy :) x

May-be It's Love

Holyyyy molyyyy it's the halfway point of the year - what?! That is literally insane. That being said I hope everyone is doing really well. I know I promised I would try to post more but obviously that didn't happen *sadface* Ok once my exams are over I'm seriously going to get my blogging grind on. May was definitely one of the best months so far (birthday month, duh). Looking back on this month, it was honestly just filled with so many happy moments, even though 70% of them are food-related, :) Hope you guys enjoy reading what I got up to this month x.

I'm gonna miss you Paleo cafe banana pancakes - sadly, they closed down in the city :(
