Review Alcatraz vs the Evil Librarians – Brandon Sanderson

Everything I’d known about the world was a lie. On my thirteenth birthday, I, Alcatraz Smedry (yes, I got named after a prison, don’t ask) received my inheritance: a bag of sand. And then I accidentally destroyed my foster parents’ kitchen. It’s not my fault, things just break around me, I swear! I thought the sand was……

My first week of holiday

I am now a third of the way through my holiday. Most of my time has been spent studying, though I managed to squeeze in some other things. The weather has been lovely over here, so I have tried to go for a walk in the park each morning/evening/study break. And on Saturday The Husband……

CWA Historical Dagger Award Shortlist

A few weeks ago I shared with you the longlist for the Historical Dagger Award. There were several books on that list that did catch my interest and some of those I have already been able to read. Although I had a good time with The Cannonball Tree Mystery, it definitely is the weakest in……

Holiday!!!

Even though this was my first full week at my new job, I now have the rest of the month off because the whole place will be closed. I have fallen quite behind on my studies, so I will most certainly not be bored the coming three weeks. This week the county celebrated Memorial day……

And so it ends, again

In January I decided to quit my job at the zoo. And this week I worked my last day at the vaccinations. And it feels quite weird… but having a job that basically fully relies on there being a pandemic isn’t a very sustainable. I’ll be working mon-friday now… which means I’ll have weekends for……

Review Nettle & Bone – T. Kingfisher

After years of seeing her sisters suffer at the hands of an abusive prince, Marra—the shy, convent-raised, third-born daughter—has finally realized that no one is coming to their rescue. No one, except for Marra herself. Seeking help from a powerful gravewitch, Marra is offered the tools to kill a prince—if she can complete three impossible……

The CWA Historical Dagger Awards Longlist

It is no secret that I like my historical mysteries, so when I found about this award last year I was intrigued. I usually don’t care about book awards, they rarely cover my taste in books. But I have decided to follow this one. And maybe even read the nominated books… I have read a……

We ate too much… again

Last week I told that The Husband and I would go on an exciting city trip. And how lovely it was!!! We went to Rotterdam, probably best known outside of the Netherlands for its port. We went there to see a show of Russell Howard, and seeing as was Easter Monday and The Husband hadn´t……

I ate too much…

Happy Easter to all who celebrate! We celebrated the way we celebrate everything… by eating too much. We stayed home this time though (but will be leaving for an exciting city trip tomorrow), and I spent quite some time in the kitchen (listening to my audiobook). And the results were great… though I definitely made……

Rather exhausted…

What a week it has been. I started working my second job, as well as a new study. A lot of new impressions, and I have found myself rather tired in the evenings. Which is great when working evening shifts as well… So on my Sunday off I decided to take it easy. Not. The……
