We went on an Adventure!!!

Last post I told you all you could get excited to get jealous. Well, the time has come! Jeey. On the 27th of July The Husband and I celebrated our 10yr anniversary. Of course we had to do something special for it, so somewhere last year I booked us a trip through Iceland. After a……

Review A Bride´s Guide to Marriage and Murder – Dianne Freeman

On the eve of her marriage to George Hazelton, Frances has a great deal more on her mind than flowers and seating arrangements. The Connors and the Doyles, two families of American robber barons, have taken up residence in London, and their bitter rivalry is spilling over into the highest social circles. At the request……

Home alone with all of the books…

Last week The Husband got on a plane to visit his family back in South Africa. He hasn’t seem them since BC (before Corona) times, and some of them even longer than that. I didn’t join him (plane tickets are expansive, and we are going on holiday at the end of the month as well…).……

Review Farilane – Michael J Sullivan

Being an unwanted twin in the imperial line of succession, Farilane becomes a scholar, an adventurer, and—in a time when reading is forbidden—a hunter of books. Her singular obsession is finding the mythical Book of Brin, a tome not just lost but intentionally buried. Although she is respected and beloved by the Teshlor Knights, not……

What a month…

So, that was June. Wow. It was Hectic (but great)! We started the month off with a hiking weekend. I want to try to walk the Dutch part of the Roman border this year, but seeing as I started it only this month, and really don’t walk all that much anymore I may not succeed.……

CWA Historical Dagger Award – Winner

I have written posts on the Historical Dagger Longlist, as well as the shortlist. But let’s do a quick recap of the shortlist. I listened to the whole series that ends with Sunset Swing, and it is very good for what it is. Mobster books aren’t really my thing, but I did enjoy these. A……

I read a Bunch of Comics

As I announced in my previous post, my June is BUSY so I am not able to be very present on here. But on Saturday I sat my first exam (I am still waiting for it to be graded, but I had an 8.5 for the practice exam so I should be fine), and decided……

Wrapping up my Holiday

After sitting at home for three weeks I am going back to work today. I am kinda excited, but also stressing out a fair bit (more on that at the end of this post). I have spent most of my time off trying to catch up with my studies, but on Friday afternoon I finished……

A short but exciting post…

This week´s wrap up should be rather short, seeing as I have read exactly nothing this week. I spend most of my time studying, but also some life stuff got in the way… When The Husband finished work on Thursday we packed our bags and left for Utrecht, where he had booked us tickets for……
