Kid Normal and the Super Zeroes are back and — in my opinion — with an even more sophisticated adventure than in the first book by Greg James and Chris Smith. Whilst the debut novel of Greg James and Chris Smith focused on Murph Cooper becoming Kid Normal and facing an evil but at the

Kid Normal by Greg James and Chris Smith
Forget the Avengers, forget the X-Men, forget the Justice League – the Super Zeroes are all you need! At least if you’re into heroic, cute, enchanting, funny and thrilling stories that aren’t all fighting and muscle power. Even though it’s aimed at 8-12 year olds, this isn’t just a story for kids. And to be

Bossypants by Tina Fey
Tina Fey’s autobiography Bossypants is probably the best biography I have ever read. At least so far but I think it will be hard for every other one to live up to it. For those of you, who don’t know who Tina Fey is: She is an American writer, actress and comedian. She wrote for

Annihilation by Jeff VanderMeer
I bought the whole Southern Reach trilogy as one single book, but I have only made it through the first one so far. Still, I didn’t want to keep you waiting for my review as I am not sure if I will read the rest of it to be honest. But first, here’s the blurb

Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier
The book I’m presenting today is an old one. But a good one. Probably my favourite book of the early 20th century (at least of the one’s I’ve read so far). And it’s one of those books I’ve even got two editions of, the German one I read when I was younger and the original

The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie by Alan Bradley
I’ll be honest with you: I have bought this book simply because I fell in love with the cover. It was different to all the others in the crime section of my local book store. And therefore I hoped for a likewise different crime novel. Also the blurb emphasised this first impression. Have a read:

Dream a Little Dream by Giovanna Fletcher
Sarah’s doing just fine… Sure, she’s been single for the last two years, and has to spend an uncomfortable amount of time around her ex-boyfriend, his perfect new girlfriend and all their mutual friends. And yes, her job as a PA to one of the most disgusting men in London is mind-numbingly tedious and her

Panorama City by Antoine Wilson
Today it’s all about one of the books I’ve read whilst on holiday in Italy for the last 10 days. This book is one of the most wonderful and inspiring books I’ve read in quite a while. Seriously. Actually I can’t even remember when I was amazed by a book so much. I received the

Therapy by Sebastian Fitzek
This is the first time I’m reviewing book by a German author for you. But don’t be afraid it’s available in English as well! No witnesses. Twelve-year-old Josy has an inexplicable illness. She vanishes without a trace from her doctor’s office during treatment. Four years later, Josy’s father, psychiatrist Viktor Larenz, has withdrawn himself to
