Book review of Sherlock’s sisters
Book review of Sherlock’s sisters This book review of Sherlock’s Sisters will be highly influenced by my own taste of course. Like any literary fan with respect for myself, I appreciate a good mystery. And as a fan of the whole detective with good reasoning skills-narrative, this book had me on sight.

Sherlock’s sisters by Nick Rennison Sherlock Holmes was the most famous detective to stride through the pages of late Victorian and Edwardian fiction, but he was not the only one.…

Book review: The Cradle of all Worlds
Book review of the Cradle of all Worlds The Cradle of all Worlds by Jeremy Lachlan is a middlegrade/teen fantasy book. It’s the first in the Jane Doe Chronicles about the girl Jane Doe. I honestly picked up this book because I liked the cover (again) and the title seemed enticing. I mean, show me a fantasy-reader who doesn’t appreciate a good portal-story, right? Furthermore, the description on the back sealed the deal for me. I just had to have it. The Cradle of all Worlds “We enter the Manor at will, We enter the Manor unarmed We enter the Manor alone. Fourteen years ago, Jane Doe and her father…

Bog anmeldelse: Kvinde kend dit netværk
Bog anmeldelse af Kvinde kend dit netværk Det er faktisk allerede længe siden jeg læste Kvinde kend dit netværk af Katja Iversen. Men jeg har allerede anbefalet den til en del (ikke kun kvinder) i min faglige omgangskreds. Nu skal du høre hvorfor. Kvinde kend dit netværk af Katja Iversen “Netværk er et håndværk. Det kræver en del øvelse tilsat lidt nysgerrighed og et drys mod til at overskride egne grænser. Bliver du nervøs undervejs? Sikkert. Er det stadig indsatsen værd? Ja! Du ved det godt: Vi får bedre ideer, når længere og udretter mere, hvis vi arbejder sammen med andre. Vi har brug for nyt input for at tænke…

What I read in April 2020
What I read in April 2020 It’s time to find out what I read in April 2020. Let’s wrap up the month and see what books I read, liked, didn’t like and more. I’ll also dive into a few readathons I’ve participated in. Maybe we will even get around to see if I made any progress on my reading challenges in April 2020. First of all, I just want to stress the fact that I don’t see reading as a competition and I do have months where I don’t read anything, and other times where I read a lot of books. It all depends on my mood, my sparetime and…
