Joachim Meyerhoff’s memoirs about his childhood, his teenage year in the US and now also his recent book about his time as student on the drama school are always great! I read the first book together with my literature club. The second one I listened to as an audio book. For his third book Ach, […]
Another book I am listening to instead of reading it: Wild – A Journey from Lost to Found by Cheryl Strayed, the wonderful presenter of my favorite podcast Dear Sugar Radio. Wild is her second book and actually a memoir about her trip on the Pacific Crest Trail when she was 26 years old. After

Actually, the title of today’s post should be changed into “The Books I’ve Listened to….”. Bretonische Flut (Breton Flood) by Jean-Luc Bannalec is the fifth book of the „Commissaire Dupin“ series. I only read the very first book and then switched to the audio versions read by Gerd Wameling, who is a fantastic reader and

Pic by Franzi. Ein Araber und ein Deutscher müssen reden is the current book we are reading in my literature club. The last book we were reading was about Muslims in Germany. This was extremely intresting but also not always easy to follow. That’s why we decided to read more about the topic Arabs/Muslims/Christians/Germany. Ein

The Botswana-based crime novels about the ‚No. 1 Ladies‘ Detective Agency‚ owner Mma Ramotswe by author Alexander McCall Smith were among them. I
The Signature of All Things is a book I wanted to read for quite some time. First, because it is written by the wonderful Elizabeth Gilbert, whose name is reoccurring regularly on this blog (read my reviews about her book Eat, Pray, Love or about her podcast Magic Lessons, if you like). Then – as a

Pic by Franzi. Hello again, it’s Stephan. After talking about drinking last week, an even more important summer holidays activity for me is… reading! Travelling and holiday afternoons are the perfect reading time for me and I want to present the best of several books I read this summer holidays. ***Zwei Herren am Strand (Two
Pic by Franzi. Since Elizabeth Dunkel’s 1980s novel Every Women Loves a Russian Poet is one of my favorite books, I had to read her second novel Under the Mosquito Net as well. Again, the story is about a single woman: Maia Rose is a successful beauty editor living in New York. She seems to
Pic by Franzi. The last weekend was rainy and grey in Hamburg – the perfect conditions to lay on my sofa and read a good book. I picked Petra Hartlieb’s Meine wundervolle Buchhandlung (My wonderful Bookstore). The story is about author Petra Hartlieb’s own experience to – more or less by accident – have bought
