    Book review Goodbye Things by Fumio Sasaki

    Book review Goodbye Things by Fumio Sasaki Book review Goodbye Things by Fumio Sasaki – a book on minimalism and simplifying life. “Fumio Sasaki is not an enlightened minimalism expert or organizing guru like Marie Kondo―he’s just a regular guy who was stressed out and constantly comparing himself to others, until one day he decided to change his life by saying goodbye to everything he didn’t absolutely need.” This blurb is borrowed from the Amazon description of the book. Regular guy – just like you Fumio Sasaki is just that. A regular guy on a path towards freedom from things cluttering his home. I had heard a lot of good…

    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.
