My Summer Reading List 2016

Hi Everyone!

I love to read and every Summer I love to organize a little reading list to keep myself busy. It's really cool how all the books I have in my little collection this Summer are all so different to one another.
Last year, I did the same and I was so glad I did. Sometimes being busy with work and everyday stuff, I find that I don't have much time to read, relax and have a bit of down time. It's actually easy to find the time to read; you just have to find the right moment. I usually read before bed, on public transport or on a nice afternoon outside on a patio.
I got most of my books at Chapters Indigo in-store; but you can also find them online.

Here are some of the books I am reading during the Summer:

Best Kept Secrets of Paris by Michael Kerrigan

This book is so COOL! It always reminds me of my trip to Europe (which was almost 3 years ago!!!).
This book has all the best places to go to in Paris; and since I plan to go back soon, I want to see more of Paris. There are famous Monuments that we all know about; and some that I didn't even know about?!

 
Lonely Planet's Best in Travel 2016

I was really excited when I found this book. I was looking for something that would inspire me to go to a lot more place in the World. This book has section about all the best countries, cities, and regions and more around the World.



Rick Steves' ITALIAN Phrase book and Dictionary

I have been trying to learn Italian for a while now with the help of the Duolingo app; and I have to admit that I had a bit of trouble. So when I found this little dictionary, I was relieved to have found such a handy tool. This book helps you with situations where you might be stuck with language barriers if you are travelling to Italy. They have sections from greetings to ordering food. They even have little section where you could learn a few cuss words; if you are annoyed with something or someone.


J'Adore Rome by Isabelle Lafleche

This might seem familiar because I mentioned the 2 previous books of this series in last year's blog post about "My Summer Reading List 2015". This is the third book in this series written by Isabelle Lafleche; but instead of it being written in English, it is written in French. The story follows the adventures of Catherine and her loyal assistant Rikash; as they embark on an extravagant adventure in Italy.


Tanya Bakes by Tanya Burr

Yes! This is a cookbook but all about BAKING!!! I had pre-ordered Tanya Bakes when it was first announced; and I had received it only about 2 weeks ago in the mail. Since then, I have been flicking through and list which sweet I will try to conquer (once the temperatures get colder). So, expect some Recipes (made to my liking) t
o be posted soon on this blog soon!


Style at Home Magazine

I have been subscribed to Style At Home for a few months now, and I just love how these magazines are giving me inspiration about how I could be decorating and renovating my future home. Some of the magazines I have collected, have good tips on how to make the most out of a tiny space (which is great considering that a lot of people live in tiny spaces).



I really hope you've enjoyed reading my post!
I hope you have an amazing weekend!
See you soon!

My Bucket List

Whenever I think about all the things I would Love to do; I realize that it seems quite difficult to achieve all of them, but it is NOT Impossible. Sometimes you might think that bucket lists are for people who expect to leave this world soon. They are not for that purpose. A Bucket List is a list of things that you would Love to do during your time on this Earth. It is not morbid or depressing. It is a list that is full of adventure and new experiences; inspired by life and made by your brain. Here is My Bucket List! I would Love to: 1. Go on an African Safari 2.
