Pic by Franzi. It took a while to finally get a copy of Some Men Are More Perfect Than Others by Merle Shain into my hands (I finally imported one from the U.S.). I once saw it on a website and was instantly hooked by its title, the content and the raving reviews: It’s ‚a […]

Pic by Franzi. I may be the last person in Germany who read Darm mit Charme (aka ‚charming intestines‘) by scientist Gulia Enders. Honestly, even my mother did it before me (after all, I read her used and highlighted copy). I just was not interested in a whole book about my intestines. But then I

Did you already read The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins? If not, it’s a must-do! The book was a big success in the year 2014 and was on my ‚X-Mas book wish list‘ back then. I planned to read it in between the years in December 2015, but it was too exciting to

After quite a long time, I went to the cinema again: Autumn has officially started now ;). I watched Ich und Kaminski and now I cannot stop thinking about it: It’s about a wanna-be biographer who has the plan to write the biography of the old & famous blind artist Kaminski …and then he only

Pic by Franzi. Yes, I read another book: Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Alborn! This one was the summer read of my literature club. Actually, the book lay already unread in my flat for several months. So I was extremely happy to finally be forced to make it through it. The story is incredible, but

Pic by Franzi. A colleague of mine gave me this book: Capital by John Lanchester. Since I follow the good-old book-nerd-rule to always give orange/yellow books a chance, I started to read it. This is what it’s about: The residents of London’s Pepys Road regularly receive postcards with pictures of their own front doors and

Pic by Franzi. Joachim Meyerhoff’s book Wann wird es endlich wieder so, wie es nie war was the first book I’ve read with my NEW book club in Hamburg. Since my old book club back in Osnabrück read only nonfiction, it was an experiment to start with a novel. It’s the story of Joachim Meyerhoff’s
The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion is a book that honestly haunted me. When it was released a few years ago, I read the summary: „Don Tillman, professor of genetics, has never been on a second date. He is a man who can count all his friends on the fingers of one hand, whose lifelong difficulty

Pic by Franzi. Since I read Every Woman Loves A Russian Poet, I am on the hunt after novels starring independent women struggling to be content with themselves and realizing their dreams. One may guess that the book shops are full of them but it isn’t the case at all. Luckily, I recently stumbled over
