Nordic Noir Recommendations (Swedish Edition)
This post is a part of the writing project called Stories from the West that I started with Christa. We’re both currently living on the west coasts (Christa in the US, me in Sweden), hence the name of the project. We want to share our experiences living as immigrants, and every month we’ll write a post each with…

Recently Read – First Quarter of 2017
Reading progress has been a bit slow this year, with only 8 books in 3 months. I’ve gotten into a reading slump, and it’s hard to get out of it. I’ll need to get back in the game soon though, as I’m behind on my Goodreads Reading Challenge. Any advice on how to get out…

April & May Read
Thanks to the frenzy of the book fair, this month I’ve been productive in reading department. It wasn’t that I fell into a reading slump before, but I found it hard to find time and battle the exhaustion I felt to pick up a book and read. But this month, with new books staring at…

Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone Illustrated Edition
*this post contains spoiler* I might have a mild obsession with the Harry Potter series. I mentioned a bit about that in here, when I went to Warner Bros Studio for The Making of Harry Potter tour. That visit itself is one of my happiest memories of all time, which never fails to make me…

Fiction Favorites of 2015
December last year, I realized that I hadn’t read many books in 2014, what with the masters, dissertation, and traveling. I read maybe about 5 books for the entire year, and I was a bit ashamed of that, so I made a resolution to read at least 30 books in 2015. It turned out, I…
