This year I have been trying out new types of blog posts, namely the monthly reading diary and then a post in the middle. I haven’t posted an individual book review since early December. For me I felt that reviewing each book I read in separate posts put too much pressure on me, and on… Continue reading A little update – taking a break from blogging

So here goes: What I recently finished reading: The Handmaid's… Continue reading WWW Wednesday, 1st March 2017
