What I Read on Top of the Mountains: Wedding Night by Sophie Kinsella!

Sophie Kinsella’s book may be falling into the category of chick lit. But hey, who cares – sometimes a girl needs a little bit dreaming away and relaxing her mind. Sitting on the top of the mountains, on a bench in the sunshine in front of an alpine hut and waiting for my friends to […]

Unforeseen Shadows

Once again Franzi’s holiday plans gave me the opportunity to write a guest post. Again it will be in Arts and Books and this time I’d like to introduce an artist who’s creating amazing pictures with light and shadow.

Goodbye Week (I Spent Most in Bed)! Hello Weekend! …With the Great Grasshoppers by Wayne Unten!

That’s it for this week. I lay in bed for 7 whole days! It actually surprised me that I am capable to do this. Thank god, I am feeling better now and already dared to go outside two times. I still have to be careful to not overdo, but I really look forward to a

The Diving Bell and the Butterfly: A Memoir of Life in Death by Jean-Dominique Bauby!

Here comes the sentence I always start a book post with: Finally a book post again! This time I would like to recommend you a book that was a freaking long time on my to-read list: The Diving Bell and the Butterfly: A Memoir of Life in Death by Jean-Dominique Bauby. Last summer I found
