Into the Unknown by Alice Reeds - Playlist

   Hey guys!

   For some time now I've been dwelling upon the idea of creating a playlist that would suit Into the Unknown, which you guys could listen to while reading or simply listen to it in general. The thing is just that how do you find the perfect songs that seem to fit the entire book, a chapter or particular scene? I remember that while writing the first ever draft of Into the Unknown I used to write down what song or album I was listening to while writing BUT sma...

The Music TAG

   Hey guys!
   I came across this TAG a while ago and thought it would be fun to try it. I grew up listening to a lot of great music like Pink Floyd or Queen, so music is a big part of my life. I listen to music while writing and quite a number of songs has inspired various scenes or moments in Into the Unknown and We the Hunters.
   The Music TAG consists of 11 questions. Check out the video below to see how I answered them.


   I hope you like the video...

Questions for a Reader

   Hey guys!
   So I saw this little survey/question thing over at Bookables blog and thought it looks like fun so I want to do it too. Hope you'll find it interesting!
   Let's go!

1. Which book has been on your shelves the longest?    I would say this has to be my German copy of Happy Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by J.K. Rowling which I've had for the past 10 years, I think.

2. What is your current read, your last read and the book you'll read next?   ...

July Wrap Up

   So July kinda sucked in terms of reading. I mean, I only managed to read one book throughout an entire month! I don't even know how that just happened. I was doing a lot throughout July, which meant that I didn't have much time to read - like almost none at all. 
   I've been trying to read Isola by Isabel Albedi, which is a book in German, as I wanted to get back into reading books in German a little more, but ... we'll that somehow isn't happening. I used to only...
