A few weeks ago a reader asked me to write a blog post on how to choose which books to read. I replied to her that I can’t really give advice on that topic because it’s choosing what to read is such a personal process. Everyone has an individual taste and likest to read different…

Book Review: Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer
I have to tell you that my review of this book is probably extremely biased because for me its connected to this special nostalgia we feel for things that brought us joy during our childhoods. I first started listening to the audio books of the “Artemis Fowl” series by Eoin Colfer when I was a…

The Hanau shootings: Kein Vergessen
As the Germans or German-speaking readers probably know today, the 19th of August 2021, marks the one and a half year anniversary of the Hanau shootings . So I wanted to spread some awareness for those of you who don’t know about it. A year and a half ago Hanau, a small city in the…
Book Review: Save me the waltz by Zelda Fitzgerald
I’ve struggled to write this review for a while now and I procrastinated it again and again. Mainly because it’s been a while since I read “Save me the waltz” by Zelda Fitzgerald and also because when I read it on vacation, I devoured it in a day. So the details have become a little…

Small Things that helped my Mental Health (that might help you too)
Last week I’ve had a bad day. For the first time in weeks I felt anxious and stressed and was simply not in a good mental state. I didn’t take good care of myself that day, I neglected my morning routine and that immediately affected my mental health. Although I’ve become mentally stabler and happier…
Book Review: Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe
I find it hard to find the right words, the right phrases to write this review. I’ve been trying to start it for a while now but somehow I feel like my words can’t do “Things Fall Apart” justice. I feel like I as a European with my limited eurocentric perspective might not be the…
How to get (back) into reading
A few weeks ago a reader asked me to write a blog post on how to get (back) into reading and how to enjoy it more. I’ve been in the same situation as the reader who reequested this post. I have experienced this sort of reading fatigue many times in the past few years, both…
Book Review: Wenn wir alle gut wären by Irmgard Keun
“Wenn wir alle gut wären” (If we all were good) is definitely a case of social media made me buy it – more specifically, the wonderful review by Frederike from “A Feminist’s Shelf”. But I am so grateful that Instagram brought this amazing collection to my attention because otherwise I might’ve missed out on it….
