    This post includes a list of five authors I’d like to finally read in 2023. These five authors have been on my bookshelves for years. Instead of making unreasonable New Year resolutions, I figured I will try to read at least one book by each author on this list. It is a much […]

  These are 10 of my favorite Nordic Noir shows on Netflix I’ve watched recently. Last year, or it could be earlier this year (time flies), I made a list of my favorite Netflix shows. But since the list was getting a little too long, I decided to keep my favorite Nordic Noir series for […]

  This post is about my book-buying hobby, and it includes more books I purchased in 2022. Last month I started a tally of the books I purchased in the first half of the year. Book Buying Is a Hobby Now it is time to show you the rest of the books that I have […]

  Book buying as a hobby is completely separate from reading, so don’t confuse the two. People who are not readers don’t understand the need to keep buying books.

    Bookish challenges are one of my favorite hobbies I partake in from time to time. For today’s post, I thought I would get my inspiration from a recent challenge on Instagram.

Re-reads: Yay or Nay? What say you, friends? Reading has always been part of who I am. Ever since I can remember, I’ve enjoyed reading. And yes, every now and then, I will re-read a book I’ve absolutely loved or a series I’ve started and want to get reacquainted with. On rare occasions, I had […]

    These are my 14 favorite Netflix shows, so far. If you haven’t watched Netflix at least at some point in your life, you really are from another planet. If my 70-year-old mother has heard of it and indulged in a few of her favorite shows, then I don’t understand what you’re waiting for. […]

  These are some of the best master classes to try in 2022. What better way to start a new year than to learn something new? I’m not one to make New Year’s resolutions, but I like the idea of continuous learning. There was a time when an old friend called me a professional student. […]
