#BBAW – Summary

On February 20, 2016 By bookskepticIn Thoughts2 Comments

Book Blogger Appreciation Week was hosted by The Estella Society. It's a great event bringing together wonderful book bloggers. I decided to summarize my first event. I'm not even sure I can say I participated, I used 2 out of 5 prompts, but let's say that counts. One thing I learned during this event is that …

#BBAW – Day 3

On February 17, 2016February 15, 2016 By bookskepticIn Thoughts12 Comments

Book Blogger Appreciation Week is hosted by The Estella Society. I chickened out and didn't participate in Day 2 interview, but here I'm back for Day 3. What have you read and loved because of a fellow blogger? Tough one, I joined the blogging community recently and my fellow bloggers for now keep on adding …

#BBAW – Day 1 Introduce yourself

On February 15, 2016February 11, 2016 By bookskepticIn Thoughts18 Comments

Five books that represent me as a person or my interest/lifestyle. Not easy, why only 5! This is me at this point in my life as seen through 5 books 🙂 Catch 22 - Joseph Heller - this book never fails to make me laugh and at the same time it is almost tender with …

Book Blogger Appreciation Week

On February 14, 2016February 14, 2016 By bookskepticIn Thoughts5 Comments

Another first this year! I'll take part in an event! Book Blogger Appreciation Week is hosted by The Estella Society and I came across it thanks to Deepika from Worn Corners. I will use some of the prompts for the posts next week. Not all of them, because I never wanted to post daily, I really …

January Round Up

On February 2, 2016April 26, 2016 By bookskepticIn Thoughts3 Comments

This is my first round up, but, hey!, it's January, time for new things. Short and sweet - what have I read this month and in few words what do I think about it. Where you see a link it links to my review - no link - no review - for now at least, …

#ReadYourOwnDamnBooks

On February 1, 2016January 31, 2016 By bookskepticIn Thoughts2 Comments

Unknowingly I actually participate in a challenge! Who would have thought! #ReadYourOwnDamnBooks comes from Andi and what's awesome about it is that there's no rules other than not buying books and making a serious dent in your TBR. I am not very competitive and tend to avoid challenges, so also in this one I won't …

London Lights – Lumiere London and others

On January 21, 2016January 17, 2016 By bookskepticIn Thoughts3 Comments

Last Friday, like everybody and their dog, I decided to go and see Lumiere London lights festival. Despite the cold it was a great walk all through the central London, a place that I generally tend to avoid, but as I discovered I miss it too. It was great to rediscover some long forgotten places. …

Copenhagen Christmas Market

On November 30, 2015December 5, 2015 By bookskepticIn Thoughts1 Comment

For once not about books. Almost every year some time before Christmas I travel to a Christmas market, usually in Germany, but this year I decided to go to Copenhagen. I must say Christmas markets are a serious thing in Denmark! I've never seen something like the one in Tivoli. Christmas market has to meet …

Harry Quebert yet again…

On November 3, 2015November 3, 2015 By bookskepticIn Thoughts1 Comment

That’s probably a low thing to do – a post referring to my previous post, but I really have to share my surprise with you (and I’m still reading ‘Did You Ever Have a Family?’) When I write my reviews I tend on purpose not to read other reviews, I don’t want to be biased …
