The Sunday Post #13 – A New Year Begins

The Sunday Post #13 – A New Year Begins

The Sunday Post #13 – Weekly Wrap-up Welcome to my weekly wrap-up post. I am signing up with Kimba over at The Caffeinated Reviewer, who is hosting this weekly event. For New Year, we celebrated with some close friends, and ended up being six adults and eight children for the evening and night. We shared some good food, good drinks, great memories and had a really good time. I hope your new year was a good one, too, and that 2015 will be a fantastic year all around. This week’s posts: This week’s reviews: COYER Update: So far, I’ve read 13 books for COYER, but I haven’t posted reviews for all of them. If you’re interested, you can check out […]

2014 in Bookview

2014 in Bookview Can you believe we are starting a new year already? Where did 2014 disappear to? I have no idea, but I do have some fun statistics to share with you about my year here on (un)Conventional Bookviews. I was up to a lot of different things, but mostly, I posted reviews, and I had a pretty fantastic year, enjoying most of the books I read immensely. I am happy to share my year in bookview with you, but it’s also a great way for me to start to organize things for 2015. As I was preparing this post, I realized that I have posted 240 reviews here on the blog in 2014 – that’s an average of […]

The Sunday Post #12 – nice and easy

The Sunday Post #12 – nice and easy

The Sunday Post #12 – Weekly Wrap-up Welcome to my weekly wrap-up post. I am signing up with Kimba over at The Caffeinated Reviewer, who is hosting this weekly event. This week has been pretty busy – not that that’s really new, but still – we took the two youngest kids with us to Spain to finalize the purchase of a vacation home on the Costa Brava, and I totally wish I was still there! Milder temperatures, the Mediterranean Sea, excellent food, and just a slower mood to things. We got back home on the 23rd in time to celebrate Christmas at home, and it was so nice to spend a few lazy days all six of us hanging out, […]

The Sunday Post #11- The Holiday Edition

The Sunday Post #11 – Weekly Wrap-up Welcome to my weekly wrap-up post. I am signing up with Kimba over at The Caffeinated Reviewer, who is hosting this weekly event. I’m sharing all the reviews and other posts I’ve added to the blog this week, and as you can see, I’ve been very busy signing up for several really great-looking challenges. Like several other bloggers, I’ve also opened an account with Tsü – it’s a social network (kind of like FB) that doesn’t hide any posts! We’ll see how it works out, I’m sure. If you want to check it out, please come and find me on Lexxie’s Tsü Profile. This week was my last week of classes, and I […]

The Sunday Post #10 – A Long Week!

The Sunday Post #10 – A Long Week!

The Sunday Post #10 – Weekly Wrap-up Welcome to my weekly wrap-up post. I am signing up with Kimba over at The Caffeinated Reviewer, who is hosting this weekly event. This week feels like it’s been going on forever! On Monday when I got home from class, I felt great, then suddenly my sinuses started hurting and I felt pretty sick instead. The rest of the week I’ve been fighting a sinus infection, while still having loads of things to do and no real chance for rest. I did manage to read some great books, though, so I guess that’s a nice bonus to a week that wasn’t the best ever. I haven’t even started my Christmas shopping yet, and […]

The Sunday Post #9 – Finally Got my Diploma!

The Sunday Post #9 – Finally Got my Diploma!

The Sunday Post #9 – Weekly Wrap-up Welcome to my weekly wrap-up post. I am signing up with Kimba over at The Caffeinated Reviewer, who is hosting this weekly event. This past week was pretty amazing! I finally got my Bachelor’s diploma, as the official ceremony was this past Monday. It’s so nice to be able to touch it, see it, and know that I’ve been able to sign up to be a substitute teacher now. I’ll hopefully be able to find a position for about four hours per week in a high-school close to my home starting in January. Can you tell how excited I am? We don’t do the capes and hats here in Switzerland, but we did […]

The Sunday Post #7 – Visit from my mom

The Sunday Post #7 – Weekly Wrap-up Welcome to my weekly wrap-up post. I am signing up with Kimba over at The Caffeinated Reviewer, who is hosting the Sunday Post every week. This week has been pretty good, I’ve advanced some in the stuff I have to read for classes, and I have started to think more about my MA thesis as well. My mom arrived on Thursday, and is leaving later today. It’s so nice to see her again! We have always gotten along really well, and we’ve had a great time. Yesterday, we went to a sound and light performance at the university, and it was spectacular. It was about the planets, science and evolution, and both the […]

The Sunday Post #5 – ‘Reading’ Week

The Sunday Post #5 – ‘Reading’ Week

The Sunday Post #5 – Weekly Wrap-up Welcome to my weekly wrap-up post. I am signing up with Kimba over at The Caffeinated Reviewer, who is hosting this weekly event. Life in general: This past week, I didn’t have any classes, it’s called the ‘reading’ week, kind of to help us read some of the things we haven’t had time to keep on top of during the semester so far. And I had planned on finishing the book I have on Semantics, as well as reading the rest of The Faerie Queene so I’d be all ready for next week. I also wanted to read an article on verb-movement in Faroese, because I have to hand in a paper on […]

The Sunday Post #3 – Weekly Wrap-up

The Sunday Post #3 – Weekly Wrap-up Welcome to my weekly wrap-up post. I am signing up with Kimba over at The Caffeinated Reviewer, who is hosting this weekly event. This past week I didn’t really do much here on (un)Conventional Bookviews, as we were in Spain for our fall vacation. We had awesome weather, and I swam in the Mediterranean every day. We also managed to find some really nice restaurants, where we had tapas, local wine and other goodies. Now, we’re back home where it’s pretty cold and gloomy, but it’s OK, since we’re all stocked up on sun 🙂   This week’s posts: This week’s reviews: What have you been up to this past week? Don’t forget […]
