some bookish visual inspiration

I'm just letting y'all know I'm gonna be AWOL for the next couple of weeks while I figure out what I'm going to write for my major essays and while I study for other major tests coming up. 

On other news, I'm really tempted to hold another giveaway soon! But I don't want to attract people to follow this blog unless it's on their own volition. I might wait 'til I have over 100 followers before I do another giveaway. Unless it's author/publisher provided. 

Anyway, I need to back to work. I'm really tempted to start reading Howl's Moving Castle but I need to read Troilus and Cressida by Shakespeare. I also need to read Beloved by Toni Morrisson ASAP. And study Greek! Eeeeeeep. D:

So here are some pretty pictures, provided by the wonderful website called Tumblr, to hopefully motivate us all at least a tad. 

Have a nice evening, everyone!

Update + Visual Inspiration (7)

Getting swamped with upcoming assignments due next week! Not fun, but it's inducing me into a study-mode which is a nice change (lol). Normally I spend my time watching TV. 

I need to do an essay on romance and 'The Wife of Bath's Tale' by Chaucer. 

Also, prepare for a class/sources test on Homer, Hesiod, and an attic red figure vase thingo. 

Also, I need to write out a musical diary. 

Overall, fun times ahead, but let's get inspired, shall we?

(P.S. The Withering Tights winner will be announced some time this week!)

I decided to go with this bigger font size because it's nicer to read. I tend to zoom-in on most blogs I read when I'm reading reviews because it's just easier that way. (Small font=boring in my mind)

Anyway, I wanted to do Visual Inspiration right now, because I need some pictures to cheer me up. My mum has gone and swept my room clean... which is slightly good and very bad - a bit less dust on the furniture and floor.... but all my stuff is organised in weird places together, my books and bookshelves were rearranged, and I'm completely livid (mainly about my books and their order being all messed up). 

Enough with my ranting. Posting these pictures will help ventilate my frustration (hopefully).

Hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Happy Sunday :)

I have exams on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, then I'll be packing all Friday and whisked off in a plane to Dubai on Friday night. I'll probably be a little MIA next week. 

Next post may be coming to you from Houston, TX! 

Hope everyone's had a good weekend, here are some pictures to inspire you through next week.
