I’ve always been an extensive planner. I’m that person with the gorgeous, colour-coded revision timetable that doesn’t even remotely get followed and only has the purpose of making it look like I know what I’m doing.

I have written and deleted multiple versions of this blog post because even when typing feels louder than speaking, I don’t know if I can always find the words that really reflect what I want to say.

I know we’re in October already, and I hope that’s a testament to just how much I procrastinate sometimes, because today I wanted to share a few of the books I read over summer. I’m only two months late! I’ll try not to spoil any of the books and just share a little overview, along …
