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

Only 15 sleeps till Christmas day. Are you already feeling festive? I am. We’ve finally put up all our decorations and I like how cosy and christmassy our house looks now. I can’t wait for the 24th, when we put up our tree. To get you into the mood for Christmas, today marks the start

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:

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 Four years later, Josy’s father, psychiatrist Viktor Larenz, has withdrawn himself to

The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins
“Rachel catches the same commuter train every morning. She knows it will wait at the same signal each time, overlooking a row of back gardens. She’s even started to feel like she knows the people who live in one of the houses. ‘Jess and Jason’, she calls them. Their life – as she sees it

The Invisible Man by H.G. Wells
“With his face swaddled in bandages, his eyes hidden behind dark glasses and his hands covered even indoors, Griffin, the new guest at The Coach and Horses, is at first assumed to be a shy accident-victim. But the true reason for his disguise is far more chilling: he has developed a process that has made
