Book Review: Rules for Perfect Murders by Peter Swanson

November 30, 2021
Rules for Perfect Murders by Peter Swanson

This is one of the books that have been on the TBR for over a year, which… is actually not that long compared to other books. But basically what I wanted to say is that I’ve been meaning to read this for a while! I didn’t borrow Rules for Perfect Murders earlier because I was… Read More Book Review: Rules for Perfect Murders by Peter Swanson

My Experience @ Wine Tasting Bled

November 26, 2021
My Experience Wine Tasting Bled

When I was looking for food places close to our hotel in Bled, I came across a location called “Wine Tasting Bled.” Since we only didn’t have that many free days in Slovenia, and because the wine tasting started at 8:30, which was doable for some of the weeknights, I really, really wanted to try… Read More My Experience @ Wine Tasting Bled

Book Review: The Master Key by Masako Togawa

November 25, 2021
The Master Key by Masako Togawa

It’s been a while since I read a Japanese mystery, and I was pretty excited for this – especially since the cover uses the words “spine chilling”. Set in an ageing apartment for women, most of whom are also pretty elderly by the time the book is set, The Master Key is about a crime… Read More Book Review: The Master Key by Masako Togawa

Book Review: A Mind for Numbers by Barbara Oakley

November 24, 2021
A Mind for Numbers by Barbara Oakley

After a particularly demanding microeconomics course, I thought it would be useful if I read something on how to learn things involving numbers and graphs more efficiently. But even though I picked this book intending to learn from it, A Mind for Numbers exceeded my expectations because the strategies here on how to learn can… Read More Book Review: A Mind for Numbers by Barbara Oakley

Book Review: Right Ho, Jeeves by P.G. Wodehouse

November 23, 2021
Right Ho Jeeves by PG Wodehouse

I was reading this book while riding the bus with my roommate, and after we got off, she said to me: “I could see you laughing.” Which is totally true, but unfortunately, in the process of explaining the book to her, I realised that a lot of the humour gets lost while you explain it,… Read More Book Review: Right Ho, Jeeves by P.G.

Smooth Jazz by Renegade Tea Estate

This is the second of the three Renegade Tea Farm teas that I bought and… I have to admit that this tea taught me a lesson. But first, let’s start with the description of the tea: The Smooth Jazz’s recipe has developed over time together with new jazz tunes. We believe that this year’s batches… Read More Tea Review: Smooth Jazz by Renegade Tea Estate

It is only important what you do.” A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness Friends, this book was SO GOOD!

Ljubljana Free Walking Tour Review

I first heard about free walking tours from the Edinburgh Free Walking Tour! And then I heard about the Nice one (which I have not yet finished), so when I knew I had about two half-days in Ljubljana, I immediately went to check if there was a free walking tour… and there was! There are… Read More Tour Review: Ljubljana Free Walking Tour
