You met me at a very Hungarian time in my life

Wish to finish this chunky boy before the month is over. It will just get a bit hard as I will work 6 days a week while also having Greek classes 5 days a week 💀

This guy literally has a cameo in his own book, no way. Cervantes was really cooking when he wrote this

No way this man said “to cut a long story short” on page 66 out of 1023

Damn, this book is a banger. Also, love performatively reading this at a Greek café

Ah how many places still to see in Greece! Where to go next? But before that I have to work again for a while😳

Back in the Netherlands again, but we must keep my Greek alive somehow

Alas, my time here in Greece is almost over! Argh! At least that means that I’ll probably read a lot more. (What else can one do in Eindhoven?)

Might go to Alexander’s place of birth soon!! Argh how exciting!!!!😭😭😭😭

Had a lovely reading session here in my favourite cafe in Thessaloniki! :)

My first book in Greek! Of course it had to by my beloved Τζερόνιμο Στίλτον!

Last year was the first year in which I read more fiction than nonfiction. Who would’ve thought that I would get at this point! Still love my Romans though

Good book, but it’s taking longer than expected, since I’m not reading as much here in Greece :)

I’m afraid I won’t finish this before heading to Greece. At least I’ll try to read the chapter on the islands that I will most likely visit when I’m there :))

“You will have heard stories by now of people who came for an afternoon and stayed for a lifetime, or who came for a week and stayed a century and a half; and you will realize the danger of your position.”
Ahh so many places to see in Greece!

Hmmm how to read this as performatively as possible

Looking at my goodreads profile you’d almost forget that I’m actually Dutch

“I have to tell you about these things from the past, because they are so important. The really important things usually lie in the distant past. And until you know about them, if you'll forgive my saying so, you will always be to some extent a mere newcomer in my life.”

Discovered that I can’t read Italian for the life of me when I’m tired

Started reading this as I’m struggling a lot with my thesis and I need something to raise my spirits and give me a sense of accomplishment. It’s working, thanks dear Zweig!

It’s going very very slow, not only because of the Italian but mostly because of that accursed thesis

TORINO MENZIONATAAAAA!!!!💛💙💛💙🐂🐂🐂🐂☕️☕️☕️🚗🚗🚗 SIIIIIIIIIIIIIII🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😩😩😩😩😩

All that travelling by train is good for my goodreads goal, but not really for my thesis 😳

Pretty good book so far! But it will take a while to finish. My thesis has to be written at some point

“How beautiful Crete is,” he murmured, “how beautiful! Ah! If only I were an eagle, to admire the whole of Crete from an airy height!”
I must go there one day! Agh so many places in Greece to visit!

Got this in a lovely bookstore in Athens! Here’s the start of my modern Greek literature season!

Lol I ran into a professor of mine while reading this and he told me he knew Beaton and that he “is a dick.” Hahaha

Also, when in the history of boycotting elections has it EVER benefited the boycotters??!!??

The history Greek Revolution is so interesting! But also extremely chaotic and confusing

Ahhhh, I love Greece! I can’t believe I’m going there soon!! How exciting!

Ahhhh, I love Greece! I can’t believe I’m going there soon!! How exciting!
