<br />
I saw this tag on <a href="http://thebeautifulstillness.net/to-be-read-tag/" target="_blank">Candice's blog</a> some time ago and I wanted to join. So, here it is!<br />
<br />
<b>1. How do you keep track of your TBR pile?</b><br />
mmm, if I'm being honest, I should say I don't keep track. I do have my "want to read" shelf on Goodreads but it's not up to date with all the books I own and haven't read.<br />
<br />
<b>2. Is your TBR mostly print or ebooks?</b><br />
Half and half (but mostly ebooks, since it's so easy and adictive to get them!)<br />
<br />
<b>3. How do you determine which book to pick up from your TBR next?</b><br />
It depends on my mood, on what I've been reading before, I usually end up reading something mentioned (or related) in another book or film I saw. I get constant ideas from lots of sources!<br />
<br />
<b>4. A book that has been on your TBR list the longest?</b><br />
A confederacy of dunces, by John Kennedy Toole.<br />
<br />
<b>5. A book you’ve recently added to your TBR pile?</b><br />
A room of one's own, by Virginia Woolf.<br />
<br />
<b>6. A book on your TBR strictly because of its beautiful cover?</b><br />
Lily of the valley, by Susanne Strempek Shea<br />
<br />
<b>7. A book on your TBR you never plan on reading?</b><br />
Steppenwolf, by Herman Hesse<br />
<br />
<b>8. An unpublished book you are excited for?</b><br />
I never know when books will be published. And I'm not waiting on any book in particular to be published.<br />
<br />
<b>9. A TBR book everyone else has read but you.</b><br />
The Harry Potter series! I only read books 1 and 2 and I still have a long way to go!<br />
<br />
<b>10. A book everyone and their mother is recommending to you, therefore is on your TBR?</b><br />
The curious incident of the dog at night, by Mark Haddon<br />
<br />
<b>11. A TBR book you are dying to read.</b><br />
El tiempo entre costuras, by María Dueñas.<br />
Actually I'm halfway through it and I can't seem to get back to it!<br />
<br />
<b>12. Finally, how many books overall are on your Goodreads TBR shelves?</b><br />
I opened it and it says 100. But... it is not completely accurate ;)<br />
<br />
You're welcome to join in and blog about your TBR books!<br />
Let me know in the comments.<br />

Ten books. I bought ten books in just ONE month. You might think I'm crazy and that I got a bit carried away, and you would be right but I'm not ashamed. The last two are from <a href="http://www.bookdepository.com/" target="_blank">The Book Depository</a>. I love buying books there because I prefer reading in English (since Spanish translations are awful. Dreadful) and British editions are so much beautiful than the ones I find here in Argentina. The rest of the books you see in the pics were on sale, at different bookshops. I can't pass by a bookshop sale if I see one. And I almost never leave the shop without a book.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
My 365 journal of noteworthy things keeps on going. Still alive and kicking. I had got a little behind on the collage pages but last weekend I sat at the table, with my scraps, washi tapes, scissors, stickers and such and finished them all.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
a few nice things that happened recently:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- i got a job at my local library and I'm still adjusting to the work itself and the hours. I had not have a job (apart from the freelance ones I did at home) since 2010 so it's been a bumpy road but I'm getting tthere slowly. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- on march 6th I celebrated my 10th year as a blogger. It was the 6th of march 2005 when I opened <a href="http://www.pieldegallina.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">my first blog</a> and then I opened a <a href="http://lemondeesthetique.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">few</a> <a href="http://lowqualitypics.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">more</a>. And I never stopped blogging! Now I can't remember how it was to live without the habit of writing and sharing things with fellow bloggers and readers. So, cheers for me and for you all, who keep coming back, reading and commenting. Thank you ever so much!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- Since mid December I've been reading non stop one book after another and that makes me quite happy. I'm not an avid reader but a constant one. A few pages each day. Maybe two books per month. Will tell you/show you more about my latest reads in coming blogposts.</div>
<br />
- Two weeks ago I won <a href="https://gallery.mailchimp.com/0fdf325f364f4a70d55d50a3c/images/a3c2cb57-71bd-4c77-9b11-41ba9322f1a8.jpg" target="_blank">this lovely print</a> by artist <a href="https://www.facebook.com/yelena.bryksenkova" target="_blank">Yelena Bryksenkova</a> on a giveaway. Thank you Sara from <a href="http://www.brwnpaperbag.com/" target="_blank">brown paper bag</a>!!! Made my day :)<br />
<br />
- Last, I've been enjoying <a href="http://www.goear.com/listen/da71e1e/earned-it-the-weeknd" target="_blank">this song</a> on BBC radio 2 a lot.<br />
<br />
That's it for today.<br />
Hope you are having a good week!<br />
<br />
<br />

I'm certain that most people are quite glad that March has begun, because for some it means the end of the cold winter and for us in the South hemisphere it brings autumn with it, which for me is a great reason to celebrate. So, in honour of new stages of life and changes of nature, i invite you to enjoy some inspiration boards I made. And tell me: what do you like most about March (in case you <i>do </i>like it, ha! if not, just tell me why anyway). </div>

I've been meaning to make a playlist for a long time and it seems this long weekend was the proper ocation. I included some soft indie songs that may be knew to some of you and some other artists that are more popular, such as Ed Sheeran and Lana del Rey. Now, let's make a cup of tea, cuddle up in bed/sofa and enjoy this 46 minutes of music. Hope you like it!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>note</i>. I may add more songs in the future, so don't forget to like the playlist and <a href="http://8tracks.com/vixpichel" target="_blank">follow me</a>! You can have a look to my other playlist <a href="http://8tracks.com/mix_sets/dj:1207078" target="_blank">here</a>. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
This year, apart from my usual scrapbooking, I started a project called <b>Noteworthy things journal</b> (inspired <a href="http://www.prettyinmad.com/2013/12/noteworthy-things-fuji-instax-moleskine_31.html" target="_blank">here</a>). I have to write down something good of each day, no matter how simple or silly it was. If it made me smile, happy for a while or have fun, I consider it noteworthy. Besides, for each week, I make a collage (or simply a scrapbook page) on the side. It's been helpful so far, to pay attention to daily nice things that would be ignored otherwise amongst the rutine and obligations. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
These pages belong to January and, as you can see, my life is not exciting at all but I still find a way to enjoy the little things, especially when it's summer and it rains or the air is cooler. I will show you more each month!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Do you keep a journal? Let me know in the comments :)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Have a nice week!</div>

I first knew about it on Instagram. Several people were talking about it (especially <a href="http://melinasouza.com/" target="_blank">Mel</a>) and I got very interested, because when a book has the words "bookshop" and "book" on its title I HAVE to find out what it is. It turned out to be an amazing book, written by Jen Campbell, a young English author and bookseller (and poet, vlogger, tea drinker and book lover) who had written a series of books about the <a href="http://www.jen-campbell.co.uk/non-fiction.html" target="_blank">weird things customers say in bookshops</a> (which are hilarious true facts she experienced and I recommend them!). So, I asked my mom -I mean Santa- to give me this lovely book as a Xmas present and it arrived 12 days later (living in Argentina is not easy when it comes to buying stuff online).</div>

As soon as I started reading, I felt terribly identified and inspired by this book. It is about out-of-ordinary bookshops of the world, and also it features several nice interviews with authors and booksellers, photographs, bookish facts and other historical information. Jen managed to make a highly entertaining book, one you start reading and want to keep on reading until you get to the end of it but at the same time you don't want it to end because that would mean the end of the bookish party. It took me 13 days to finish it, but only because I delayed it. It's a book that makes you read more books because they get mentioned in it (84, Charing Cross Road, in my case). <b>It's cake, and tea and chocolate and cream but made of paper</b>. It's delightful, funny and very very inspiring. It made me want to open my own bookshop from the very introduction.</div>

If you love books and bookshops, and people who love those two things more than life itself, you should get this book (I ordered it from <a href="http://www.bookdepository.com/Bookshop-Book-Jen-Campbell/9781472116666" target="_blank">The Book Depository</a>). It is such a joy to read! You won't regret it.<br />
You can buy it from here: <a href="http://www.bookdepository.com/Bookshop-Book-Jen-Campbell/9781472116666/?a_aid=vixpichel" target="_blank"><img alt="buy the book from The Book Depository, free delivery" src="http://banners1.bookdepository.com/accounts/default1/banners/BuyFrom_purple_delivery.jpg" height="44" title="buy the book from The Book Depository, free delivery" width="191" /></a><img alt="" src="http://affiliates.bookdepository.com/scripts/imp.php?a_aid=vixpichel&a_bid=72871fce" height="1" style="border: 0;" width="1" /><br />

<i>disclaimer: it's very annoying when I try to track back the original source of a photograph and all I get is a bloody weheartit link or a tumblr home. I take the time and effort to look for the author's proper link but sometimes I just can't do it. So forgive me if I fail completely on the task! In the meantime, enjoy these beautiful pics :)</i></div>

This time of year our backyard becomes a beautiful garden. My mom's plants bloom in wonderful colours. I take pics of them almost everyday! The succulent is mine, though. And of course my mom is who takes care of it. I love having plants and flowers but then I forget to water them. The cactus are strong creatures that survive even in spite of my negligence.</div>

That you read a book by a certain author, you enjoy it quite a lot, and after finishing it, you go and buy *another* book by the same author and... it doesn't quite live up to the first one you have read? I bet it's happened before. Well, I got that feeling with John Green's Paper towns. I liked "The fault in our stars" very much (maybe because I saw the film first?), read it in a week (which is quick for me) and then I wanted more of that style of writing, humourous and sensitive at the same time but Paper towns was not the proper follow up. I keep reading and reading and it doesn't get any more interesting. I'm not the kind of person that quits on a book. I put a lot of effort in finishing them, even though I might hate it either way in the end. But, how would I know if it was worth it if I don't read it till the very end? besides, I invested money on it. It SHOULD pay off, souldn't it? haha. </div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">I though I'd show you some of the pages on my new scrapbook. I only started it last August. I really enjoy spending time with it, sticking bits of paper, ephemera, labels, clippings from magazines mostly. i sort of lost count but I guess this is my 7th scrapbook. When I sit down, spread all my scrapbooking things on the table... </span>I lose track of time <span style="font-family: inherit;">and spend hours on it! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

"<i>You won't hurt me... will you?</i>"<br />
<br />
I loved this film so much. Must have watched it five times in three days.<br />
Such sweetness, simplicity and a funny pair of characters. His young face shows such true, honest feelings. He's like a puppy that just can't help but being one.<br />
<br />
I'm glad I discovered it. It warmed my heart during this weekend and forever.<br />

Don't you just hate when you realize you are procrastinating like a champion? I don't like procrastinating. However, I seem to keep doing it. And it puts me on edge because I'm in a moment of my life when I have lots of free time (actually, all of it) which allows me to do EVERYTHING I want (well, sort of. The free ones). Yet again, I don't do it. I spend hours (if I was to put them all together, they would be days in a row) sitting in front of my laptop (or iPod touch) watching what others do and make instead of actually doing something myself. For instance, I love Pinterest and flickr. Oh! and Instagram -the Holy Trinity-, which are all image-based. I get wildly inspired. I get so many good ideas, I can even feel them bubbling inside my head. But do you see me taking pics or attempting any craft projects? Nope. Neither do I. Reading is another delicate matter. I run a Facebook page for others to show their books (in case you don't know it yet, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/showmeyourbooksdevix" target="_blank">here it is</a>, likes are welcomed!, also pics) but I don't seem to be able to actually <i>read </i>one book from front to back. I download and buy books constantly, as I find topics of interest (biographies, historical, novels, that's my stuff) on my daily internet surfing/readings, but I read one chapter, just a few pages and I need to leave it and jump to the next best thing, which is another book I'm eager to read (and I have tons of them). Repeat endlessly.</div>

I would love to dabble a little in water colours, learn the technique, improve it. And keep on making my scrapbooks, which are an instant source of joy and entertainment. And I'd love to finish, sorry, <i>start </i>some projects that have been sitting on my mind for months. And test some handmade designs for the covers of my notebooks. And I don't do any of those things. Instead, I procrastinate. I am massstering it. I also believe I have some kind of ADD, because I can't spend more than 15 or 20 minutes focused on ONE thing. Or maybe it's just my anxiety saying "Hi!" (most definitely).</div>

Sometimes I wonder how did I manage to read so many books -or even study!- years ago and the answer was at hand: there was no social media around to "waste" time in. Because only having internet access didn't use to feel like a giant hoover had sucked me and my whole attention in. No. Sometimes I even felt like it was of no use (up until I opened my first blog in 2005). Social media is my poison, the soft drugs (when did I get this dramatic? chillax!). They are supossed to serve me as inspiration and connection with people but lately I am more of a viewer than a participant. Not to mention a maker, and that worries me. I dislike it tremendously. I want to do and make stuff, not just watch, sitting on a chair, what others achieve.</div>

Anyway, sorry for the rant. I needed to get it out of my system somehow. Question is: are you a viewer or a participant? Allow me to make me a cup of tea and I'm all yours!</div>

I love galettes. They are so easy to make and they can be filled with virtually anything. That buttery smell, mmm, tasty! It's one of the few things I can bake in my silly oven (which works disastrously). The only aspect I dislike about making galettes is the waiting. The dough must spend an hour or so in the fridge before rolling it. I don't do well with waiting, but if at the end I'm gonna stuff my face with some apple galette, I'm willing to make an effort. So, galettes, yes, I do love you!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
(sorry, no recipe, it's just a "<i>praise of the galette</i>" type of post. you should search for a recipe in Pinterest, there are loads of them!)</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Early in July, I treated myself with some days in Buenos Aires, which is always a joy. There's so much to see, visit, buy and taste that I get a bad case of anxiety. This time I wanted to enjoy more, forget about the things i would not be able to do, walk a lot, take pics, look around, write on my travel journal, drink lots of coffees. Thankfully, I managed to do all that and more. You see, I live a bit far away from Buenos Aires. It's 9 hours by bus (and I never sleep on buses) so when I plan a trip to the capital city i have to take advantage of time and money. Now, it's time for me to shut up. Feast your eyes, for Buenos Aires -though expensive- is beautiful!</div>

<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I know, I said I had come back, and then I stopped posting altogether again. Blogging is just a hobby for so many of us. I've no idea if there's someone really there, reading, except the two of three people I know for certain (because one even asked me to come back, thank you!, kiss kiss!). Anyway, do I have anything worthy to tell? Uhm. Oh, I could tell you about my latest obessions. I'm always obsessed with something. An album, a film, an actor, a topic, Instagram, you name it. Anything can obsess me out of the blue. It catches me off guard and suddenly I'm full on googgling, spending insanely amounts of time listening, watching, reading about the obsessing item of the hour. For instance:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">- i spent an entire day listening to <a href="http://grooveshark.com/s/Take+Me+To+Church/6Yf88d?src=5" target="_blank">this song</a> on repeat. If I had to leave home for whatever reason, I would listen to it on my mobile. Yes, on repeat. And <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYSVMgRr6pw" target="_blank">its video</a> is also very interesting.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">- since July 15th, the very day I discovered <a href="http://www.focusfeatures.com/worried_about_the_boy" target="_blank">this film</a> on cable TV (on a random zapping frenzy post nerve wrecking and disappointing world cup final) to today i guess I must have watched it like 3 dozens of times. Crazy, I know. I even watched it twice one day (<i>or more</i>). I can't help it, i love it with all my heart. His performance is brilliant (he was only 17!), and why not say it? he's so handsome. I also discovered I had a instant liking for that musical era and style, which wasn't new to me but I learnt more about it. I dig it. Hand me some eyeshadow, will ya?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">also.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It was my birthday on Tuesday. I turned 30 flipping 4. How can this be possible? So, that came along with a proper obsession (which had began a few days before). Sort of a mid life fashion crisis, and I went to get myself <a href="http://instagram.com/p/rVRZbopsp-/?modal=true" target="_blank">a nice out-of-the-ordinary hat</a> to show and prove that I may be older but i will not tolerate anyone calling me "mrs". I hate when people refer to me as "mrs". <i>Step aside and think of what you've done, mister!</i> Awful.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The next day, already a mid 30's young lady, my obsession said present! and made me - I swear, it has a life of its own!- <a href="http://instagram.com/p/rW8v1hJsuo/?modal=true" target="_blank">go buy a trench</a>. It had to be mine. It fits so perfectly (my budget begs to difer) that it would have been a shame not to get it. It had been waiting for me in the shop window for days. I love when things wait for me. Because people don't.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">ok, 34, let's hear it. what do you have aligned for me? it'd better be mind blowing, you bastard!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

hello!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I was gonna start this blogpost by apologyzing for my long absence and then I started wondering: is there anyone reading at all? Has this blog any new readers? I know I haven't done much to promote it, I just let it be discovered by itself, by chance. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I know just a few of you, who comment now and then or have added yourselves to the friends gadget but what about the rest? I would love to know who's on the other side, where are you from, what do you like to do, your names, ages, preferences, dislikes, etc. Anything you would like to share with me! :))</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
have a good week (I'm still dealing with dental issues, have not fully recovered. dang!)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

After spending several days without my laptop (it got rained on and had to take it to the shop to be "resuscitated" ) I'm back on my usual posting. Mostly about the beauty of autumn, because it's just so colorful and fleeting...</div>

This picture above was taken with a Fuji roll I got in Febreruary as a present from <a href="http://www.apronsandbirds.com/" target="_blank">toi</a> :) and now I'm taking some more! Can't wait to take it to be developed and discover some surprises! </div>

I saw these two kitties a few days ago, on my way to the dentist's. So cute!<br />

I really loved this book. Such a classic, now. After so many years of being aware of its existence, I finally found the proper motivation to read it in two weeks, quite a short time for my standards. I started enjoying it as soon as I read the first pages. I got really attached to Holden and his questionings. And now that I finished reading it, I'm gonna read it again, or at least some chapters. I was able to rent it from my local library (and in English!), which is always a good thing. I love going to the library.</div>

One of the first trees to show autumn around here is the ash (fresno, in spanish) and we have quite a lot of ashes in my neighborhood. My parents planted two of them, ages ago, to protect our house from the heat in summer. Their leaves started turning yellow early in March and the view is so amazing... by mid April they will be totally golden. I could spend the whole season taking pictures of them...</div>

I went for a walk around my neighborhood and came back with a few pictures of the view. They were taken with an iPod touch so... sorry for their poor quality. While walking and breathing in the fresh air, I listened to Vance Joy, a young Australian singer who has just released his EP "God loves you when you're dancing". I like the first single, "Riptide", in particular. Puts me in a good mood and makes want to dance. You can watch the song's official video (very bizarre) <a href="http://youtu.be/uJ_1HMAGb4k" target="_blank">here</a> or... <a href="http://youtu.be/t7RXFadHu6M" target="_blank">see him singing it and playing the ukelele</a>.<br />

This time I share with you an ongoing project of mine. Recently I started collecting leaves and flowers I find on the street and my backyard -we are seeing more and more dead leaves around here, clear sign of the arrival of Autumn- and I created this little herbarium to keep them together. It's literally little, that notebook is 5x8cms or smaller, which is perfect for this task. I'm doing it with no rhyme or reason. I don't even know the names for most of them. Just for the sake of it. Because I like to spot those fallen pieces of nature on my walks and see what they look later on. It does make you stop and admire your surroundings.<br />
