Finally a book that I did not buy in Stanford's! This one I bought when my mum visited me in London and we went for The Great British Seaside photography exhibition in the Maritime Museum in Greenwich. It was really great fun, with photographs by Tony Ray-Jones, David Hurn and Simon Roberts and Martin Parr, it …

Another one from the Stanford's book haul, out of eight I already read six books (two more review will be coming up), so I promise not much more left. It is also another book I bought in preparation for my Spanish vacation in September, as is quite obvious from the title one of the cities …
It is yet another book that I bought on my crazy shopping spree at Stanford's, one thing I must say I am making my way though this book haul, slowly but surely. The reason I bought this book is that I am going to Valencia in September for the first time. Spain for few years …
Yet another book I bought in Stanford's, you'll have to be patient, I got eight books that day and am working my way through them as fast as I can. This one I bought because last year together with the Bigger Half we spent our vacation in Portugal, we visited Porto and Lisbon and our …

My 20 Books of Summer challenge this year began with a false start for two reasons: I'm publishing my first review at the end of June, so a month late (backlog of previous read books got in the way), and I did not finish my first book. Maybe it is because in my May round-up …
After finishing Lovecraft Country I struggled to immediately focus on another book, so I got one of my mum's photography books, Slant Rhymes. It had cleared my head enough for me to start roaming the bookshelves in search of something to read and that's how I came across After You'd Gone. We must have bought …
I wanted to get this book since it was published, but my book buying ban got in the way last year, so I was happy to come across it during my trip to Stanfords in May. I even mentioned it in my review of the American Gods, hoping that it would do justice to Norse …
I could not help myself, I have to share some of those quotes with you 🙂 But promise me this: next time the government takes its pickaxe to the NHS, don't just accept what the politicians try to feed you. Think about all the toll the job takes on every healthcare professional, at home and …
