Stadtbad Reloaded
The art you find in Berlin is unlike anything other place I have been – it focuses on something gritty and forward and uses unique spaces to filter feelings and reactions to it. One of the more recent exhibitions takes place in Lichtenberg, in a 1920s Stadtbad (for all my non-Germans that is a public pool house or bath). Additionally, Lichtenberg is in East Berlin, and for the last century…

February Reads
Hello friends and fellow readers, We have our leap year month! And I’m keeping good progress on reading and this month I focused on the books I had, instead of purchasing new books. This includes all my Net Galley reads and I was able to work through that backlog decently this past month. Although, there is something about the gray winter weather that makes me want to hold a physical book rather…

January Reads
The first month of 2024 – and what a month! It was busy, starting off with the Wolle Festival in Berlin (for all you yarn lovers out there) and finished with several books lately read. My tentative reading goal for the year is 80 books, which is roughly six a month. I feel confident this is a do-able goal for me, and so with the first month of 2024 over, here is what I read. So technically, I’m…

All I See is Violence - Angie Elita Newell
New Book Review
As many of you know, part of my bookish goals every year is to read more diversely. I do this for many reasons, I value differing perspectives, new ideas, and continuous learning. I recognize the country I come from is one born of conflict, and that conflict is far deeper and wider than what we learn in grade school. This book highlights that in a stark, unflinching way. It is a hard book, one…

December Reads
Happy Holidays and another year come to a close! December was a heavy reading month for me as I squished in the remainder of goal. I did cheat just a little by listening to some short stories via Levar Burton Reads, the podcast. I cannot recommend this podcast enough, especially for anyone with childhood recollections of Reading Rainbow. But that’s another blog post for another day. Since I did…

What's up in Deutschland?
Hello my Lieblings! It’s been a number of months since a proper Germany update. As some of you know, and maybe some of you don’t, my partner and I moved to Germany this past summer. The last few months have been both slow as molasses and a whirlwind, and somehow, it always amazes me how time can be both things at once. Some days crawled by while others felt like a storm. Everyday, I learn…

Swallowed by History, Resurrected for the Modern Reader
Review for an anticipated new book release!
Good evening my lovelies, I tried out a more dramatic (and longer!) title than usual, I hope you all enjoy. I recently requested and was approved for an advanced reader’s copy of the upcoming novel, Neferura by Malayna Evans. As we have seen over the last few years, retellings, ancient myths, women from the depths of history have captured the hearts of many readers. Neferura is one such woman,…

November R.E.P.O.R.T
Hello my Lieblings, and welcome to the early days of December. And that means a final rundown of November and that means the monthly report. Overall, it was another busy-ish month, I’m still in taking intensive German classes, but also participated in NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month), and guess what! I actually, hand to God, wrote 50,000 words. Hence the lack of blog posts, there is only…

October R.E.P.O.R.T
Tiktok trend turned blogpost
I might be turning this TikTok trend into a blogpost, but let me tell you my guilt is zero. It’s a fun trend and I think it makes for a great idea and a nice summary for the month. As many of you know, I’ve been taking the time to explore Berlin amidst attending German classes during the week. The month has been a little chaotic, a little cold, but still full of new things and experiences. The…

October Reads
It does seem that some semblance of normalcy has returned as we settle into delicious autumn here in Berlin. Finally, after waiting with bated breath, the leaves are turning – into brilliant oranges, reds, and yellows. Although the sky has shifted to low gray, cloudy and damp, which lends to a air of coziness and tea. I’m still hip deep into my German classes, but now bundled up against a chill…

Saturday at the Bode
We spent a Saturday at the Bode Museum
We are finally settling into our life here in Berlin. And even as I write this, I know it will be many more months before that actually happens. Over the last few weeks, my partner and I have been exploring the beautiful Museum Insel in the heart of the city – the tiny little island that holds the Pergamon, Berliner Dom, Neues Museum, and many more. The only museum we fully explored thus far is…

October in Berlin
My most recent thoughts on hitting two months in Germany.
Here we are, folks, eleven days into the lovely month of October and almost two and half months since moving to Germany. There has been so much and so little, I hardly know where to begin, how to describe the various emotions I feel during any given day. I don’t think anyone can really prepare you for the experience of moving abroad. There are a lot of reasons to do, but also a lot of reasons to…
