FEBRUARY WRAP UP

Despite still being in some sort of reading slump, I have read a few books that I am really happy with. Each of these books had their own way of helping me get back into reading and I have even found my first five-star read of 2020.

READING CHALLENGE | #ClassicsCommunity

The other night, as I scrolled through my recommended videos on YouTube, I came across Lucy the Reader’s videos. Intrigued, I clicked on her channel and came across a video that inspired me to finally pick up a genre I have been wanting to explore more of but never had enough courage to do so.

About the Blogger

White Rose Stories is a blog run by a twenty-something-year-old bookworm under the pseudonym Rose White.

Rose lives on a wine farm somewhere in the peaceful countryside in South Africa and can always be found with her nose between the pages of a book and/or with her loving puppy, Zorba.

She is a full-time university student studying English and Linguistics. However, in her free time, she likes to write reviews for some of her favourite books and capture them in pictures to share with her friends, followers and the rest of the bookstagram community on Instagram. She also enjoys working with authors, publishers and local bookstores to help promote highly anticipated releases.

Favourite Quote at the Moment

“What she needs are stories. Stories are a way to preserve one’s self. To be remembered. And to forget. Stories come in so many forms: in charcoal, and in song, in paintings, poems, films. And books. Books, she has found, are a way to live a thousand lives—or to find strength in a very long one.”

—The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue,
by V.E. Schwab
