Merry Christmas everyone! I hope you are all having a wonderful day with your families. This week has been really good. On Thursday I exchanged gifts with my boyfriend since he couldn't come home with me for Christmas. And then on Friday evening I left for Belgium and I am here for a whole week so it should be really nice. So far it seems like all I have done is gone from one Christmas dinner to the next and have too much food. But it has been a really good time so far.

Guy's it is only one week until Christmas! How did time go by so fast? I really cannot believe that it is that time of the year again already. I am so exited for it since I will be going home on Friday and I will stay in Belgium for a week so that should be fun. I finally finished all my Christmas shopping this week so now I am fully prepared for it.

This week went by in a flash again. On Thursday I went to the movies with some friends and we went to see Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. I loved that movie, J.K. Rowling really knows how to create a magical world! Other than that I didn't do much this week. I decided to take a lazy weekend since the next ones will be pretty hectic up until the end of the year basically. And it also gave me some time to catch up with reading. I finally started to read the Percy Jackson series and I am really addicted to them!

I cannot believe how neglected this blog has been all year long. I just have the feeling that this year went by in a flash and so many things have happened. Almost one year ago I moved from Belgium to London indefinitely. And while the first couple of months were an emotional rollercoaster and things might not have turned out the way I expected them to I still haven't regretted it for a minute. I have a lovely group of friends here and of course also my boyfriend. So here is to another great year in London! But I am hoping that from now on I won't neglect this blog anymore because I really missed sharing all my bookish love.
