It’s about time I paid some well-deserved attention and gratitude to Reese Witherspoon. She will always remain, to a certain degree, Elle Woods, the ambitious smart blonde, underestimated systemically for her good looks and carefree behavior, who showed everyone where to shove their opinions when she graduated valedictorian from Harvard Law School (and solved a…

Books and Coffee – A Modern Love Story
Nothings stops me in my tracks as often as a gorgeous photo of a book beside a steaming cup of coffee. Kudos to all the patient souls who not only take a brief snap of their cozy moment, but take time to set it up in a lavishly bookish way. You have all been an…
A Year in Books
Happy New Year, fellow book nerds and stray literati! May it bring you subtle meanings, clever turns of phrase and a rainbow of exhilarating character arcs! One of my favourite things to do on the 1st of January (after strolling around a silent hangover-battling city and listening to the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra New Year’s Concert…
Reading Like a Writer – Different Points of View (POV)
A determining factor for the story and tone in every book is the POV, or point of view. This is certainly no news to any reader. When you read like a writer, though, the POV can help you predict how the story will develop and with what pace. Being aware of the pros and cons of the different…
A List of To-Reads, If You Ever Saw One
Autumn has always been an especially favorite time for me to snuggle with a book. Not to mention Black Friday is upon us, which means quality time at a couple of local bookstores, and not few online ones. I have amassed a huge number of new books I have no time to tackle; and an as impressive list…
Underrated Books To Read And Love
It’s been a while since I have done a Top Ten Tuesday post. What luck that the topic for this week – Books I Enjoyed That Have Under 2000 Goodreads Ratings – should be so fun and so different! (Also, tbh I love that I don’t have to rattle my brains to figure out what books…
Pocketbook Ultra 650 eReader Review (long read)
I bought my first ever e-book reader last week. It took my mom less time to catch up on the Facebook fever than me – on the whole e-book thing. And that’s saying something. To me actual books made of actual paper will always be preferable, but I can’t begin to tell you how many times I’ve wished…
Time for NaNoWrimo!
It’s that time of the year again – time for us writers (new, old, good, bad, chocolate-obsessed and not so much) to bleed over the keyboard. Three, two, one – go! and see you after November 30th! So I am…
Liebster Love
I am very grateful to Hannah of lazy girl’s beauty guide for nominating me for the Liebster Award for new bloggers. My little blog baby here definitely needs a boost and attention lately, with me busy with a new job and all that. I believe blogging is all about connecting. In days when I connect through my…
Top 10 Tuesday – Authors I’ve Read The Most Books From
This week’s Tuesday Top 10, hosted as usual by Lauren and Julia at The Broke and the Bookish is such a no-brainer that I bet I can write it in less than ten minutes. Three, two, one – go! (Just let me open Goodreads). I am pretty certain which three names will pop up at the top, since I devoured…
