Historical Mysteries Reviewed – CWA Historical Dagger Awards

A few weeks ago I wrote a post about the CWA Historical Dagger Awards longlist, and my goal to read all the books on the list. By now I have actually gotten my hands on all of them, so read they will be. When, that’s the question. But here are my thoughts on the books……

Reviews!!! The Tower of the Swallow, A Botanist’s Guide to Flowers and Fatality & The Hood

I promised more reviews, so here they are. But be warned, I didn’t really love any of these books. Some of them were fine, others not even that… I picked up The Tower of the Swallow as part of the Witcher buddyreads with Spalanz, and The Husband. And I have got mixed feelings about it.……

Some books I´ve been reading recently

This year so far hasn´t been quite what I had hoped it to be. I started it off with a holiday… which should have been lovely. But on day one I woke up with a massive headache, and I haven´t really had a headache free day since. I am also starting to stress out quite……

New year, same mess?

What’s this? A post? Yeah… don’t get used to it. December has been quite something. I DNF’ed pretty much all the books I tried to pick up, and the ones I didn’t DNF were audiobooks that ended up just being background noise. I wasn’t able to focus on anything. I also stopped tracking any of……

Hey…

So, it has been a while. I haven´t been on here for at least three weeks now, and am even further behind with reading other people´s posts. And a big part of that is lack of time… and motivation. My studies are taking over all my evenings and weekends again, and pretty anything else has……

My other October Reads

A week or two ago I wrote about the books I had read so far in October and what I thought of them. These books were: Well, I read some more books last month and figured I should let you know what I thought of those as well… I have seen many people who love……

My October Reads so far

Even though one can read ´spooky´ reads all year round, I tend to safe my atmospheric reads till October. And then usually I don´t get to all of them, and the once that are left over will have to wait a whole more year to maybe be picked up… because I don´t make any sense.……

Some Books I Read Recently

Since our trip to Iceland time has been flying by. I didn´t mean to disappear for another two weeks again, but it just happened before I knew it. What have we been up to…. I started studying for another course again. I spent a whole weekend in the kitchen cooking up Way too much food.……

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……

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…).……
