What I read in September

Wow, I only read two books in September. What does that tell you? It tells you that I was busy with other things. Good things. Like, road tripping and running half marathons (ok, just one) and eating good food and enjoying lovely company. So, while this monthly review will be...

What I read in February

I am quite impressed with myself, I must say. I read another eight books in February. It feels like I just had to get my act together and voilà, reading is part of my everyday life again. If I had known that it would be that easy, I would have...

What I read: January

So, looks like I just have to put an actual reading goal on Goodreads and – surprise, surprise – I read. Who knew?   I read (and listened to one) a total of NINE books in January, which means, I already read more than half the number of books I...
