Aaand another month gone! I never really know how to start these posts, to be honest. Every month it’s “oh my, how fast it’s gone” and, I mean, it’s true, but it’s also getting kinda boring, isn’t it? And actually, I don’t think this month has gone particularly fast.

Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. This week’s topic is Your Last Ten 5-Star (or 1-Star) reads! I don’t think there are ten books I’ve given a 1-star rating, and the other option is much more positive, so I’m going for the 5-star one. I try to not give too many […]

It’s March! That means it’s almost Spring time and I couldn’t be happier about that. I’m done with the cold and the leafless trees and flowerless gardens. Gimme that sun!
