I was under the impression that it’s been a long time since I read Rebecca, but turns out it was just four years! But because I watched the Alfred Hitchcock adaptation of the book and wanted to refresh my memory. Plus, I found a copy of Rebecca for 1 euro and it’s autumn so I… Read More Rereading: Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier
I only had about a day and a half in Ljubljana, but that was enough for two excellent meals and a tour (review of the tour coming soon).

Mary… Read More Book Review: The Beautiful Cigar Girl by Daniel Stashower
So I coincidentally finished another roll of Gudak photos a month after the previous one. And since I wanted to write a short update post saying: “hey, I’m leaving on a school trip and only have two scheduled posts, so you may not see me as much” (this is the whole update), I thought I’d… Read More Another Month in Photos
