Update: 2020 – Relaunch?





So, I realize I’ve been silent for quite a while. Well, I mean not really if you check out my Twitter. I haven’t posted any book reviews since February and not even a single writing/reading update since then either. I wanna talk about that and what I hope to do for the future of my book blog and this site in general.

The Frog in the Throat by Markus Werner

A rather brilliant little book that does several things at once while remaining almost singular in tone and of place. My first introduction to Werner, but not my last!

Fyodor Dostoevsky

“What is hell? I maintain that it is the suffering of being unable to love.”
Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov

“People despite their struggles, flaws and faults are honestly the most beautiful creatures. We are wonderfully-broken pieces of art.”
