By the time this post goes up, I hope I’m already enjoying my short, but well-deserved (and PhD-Supervisors’-forced) summer break, on which I plan to go with a case full of books to our house by the beach and spend my days reading and writing – until I get really bored, which should happen by day 3, and then I’ll enroll on some kind of course. Meanwhile, I’ve finally started Atonement by Ian McEwan, bought in September 2014.

Thank you, Poppy. Are you going on holidays this summer? x

Sadly no plans to – just having to travel vicariously through reading 😊

Starts slow, but builds up great. Happy reading!

I love every single word of it. And people have told me the film is amazing as well.

Enjoy your break! Beach reading sounds wonderful.
I love Atonement! The movie is also fantastic — one of the better adaptations I’ve seen.
Elena
Thank you, Leah. I hope you enjoy your family holidays as well x

Thank you, Linda. Things didn’t go as planned, but life always surprises you, doesn’t it?

Very true – sometimes we have ups, other times downs, but we always seem to get through it! Do enjoy your well-earned rest! x

I’ve had Atonement on my shelf for years and haven’t managed to pick it up yet. One of these days… Enjoy your break and your book!
Elena
I think you’ll love it, Amanda. And thank you. I did enjoy my break 🙂

Enjoy your break, Elena! I just got back from mine and feel refreshed. Off to see if I have this book.

Hi, Keishon! I’m so glad you enjoyed yours. Did you finally have Atonement? 🙂
Keishon
Yes, I have it! How was your break? Did you read anything good?
Elena
I’m still on a break, although not at the beach anymore (hope to return soon). I read Atonement, which I loved. Keep an eye on the blog for an upcoming review. Did you read any crime fiction that I need to read? 🙂
