A few months ago, I read 'The Subtle Art of not Giving a F*ck' by this author and I really enjoyed reading it (you can read my review by clicking "book reviews" on the homepage menu). However, I didn't t really feel the same way about this one. There were some good points here but … Continue reading Book Review: Everything is F*cked – A Book About Hope by Mark Mason
Welcome to the second half of 2019!

Historical fiction is my favorite genre and it is always a delight to read. However, this is my first experience with stories about the holocaust and maybe I have actually avoided them prior to this time as I do not have the stomach for horrifying stories of wickedness, suffering and death. "The Tatooist of Auschwitz" … Continue reading The Tatooist of Auschwitz by Heather Morris

This audio book took me much longer than I anticipated. Having read 'Girl Stop Apologizing' last month, which I enjoyed a lot, I decided to go for this one. I guess I may spent more time listening to this book because it almost served as some sort of devotional I listened to everyday, therefore I … Continue reading Book Review: Girl Wash Your Face by Rachel Hollis
