My favourite pics from our trip to the North-West of Germany. That church tower on the top left is the most tilted tower at 5°, even more than the one in Pisa, Italy.

Blackout | Marc Elsberg

Started this book yesterday. A European wide blackout caused by black hat hackers.
The whole scenario sounds familiar with last winters warnings about blackouts due to gas shortages. And also the ransomware catastrophe in a German town administration in 2021.
I hope I can still sleep tonight! 😅

The bunnies are keeping me company for my reread of the second book. I finished the second season of the HBO TV series. And I think it's a really good adaptation so far!

1) Yes, several.
2) It started off alphabetically for the ones that I've already read. And however they came for the tbr. But now they're all squeezed into every bit of space on the bookshelf 🙈

It was too much...to many details and definitely too much wine tasting! And I'm still not sure what the plot is. Don't get me started on the main character, she got soo annoyingly dependent on the live interest, who was super bossy and a stalker. How is that supposed to be sexy?! Long story short, DNF

Last read this as a child. And I didn't remember much of it except for the ending. It's written very differently to modern children's stories, more like a myth retelling. Anyway it's a quick read and a great adventure.

The font size of book three (on the right) is just absurd! It's so small! And that makes it tbh really hard to read and hard not to loose your place. The line spacing is smaller too. Really annoying!!

SusanLee I know right! Nowadays they like to squeeze small fonts for smaller paperback which is so irritating! 7mo

A really good read! I was pleasantly surprised as the friend who gave the book to me didn't like it much. The best thing in my opinion was the MC's choice of partner and why. Oh and lovely horses too! Though the author forgot some aspects of herd life, like the lead mare.

I'm having trouble getting into this book. It's mislabeled in my opinion, I don't really see a Pride&Prejudice connection here. The dragon world is well thought out and the troubles of the characters very real. But I have trouble connecting to the world and the characters.

Hubby said: "why don't we get some chicken?" My quick research with tagged books shows, yes that's a possibility. But I want to wait til after the bunnies and repurpose their shed. Seeing as with the bird flu, the chicken would have to stay inside for a while. I'd like for them to have a bit of room.

TheAromaofBooks I absolutely love having backyard chickens. They have so much more personality than most people expect, I think. And they are walking garbage disposals!! 😂 9mo
Deifio @TheAromaofBooks I bet! We'll just wait a couple of years, then we'll get ourselves some for sure. What kind do you have? 9mo
TheAromaofBooks I love being able to tell them all apart at a glance, so I have a BUNCH of different kinds (25 chickens total), including a rooster & hen of a German breed gaining popularity here in the US, Bielefelder - the rooster is SUCH a sweetheart and SO pretty. I have several varieties of colored-egg layers (they all look different instead of having a standard coloration), a few varieties of Leghorns (that is what I showed back in my 4-H days!), and one ⬇ 9mo

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) each of probably a dozen other breeds. We always had chickens growing up and I was quite excited when we bought our own house several years ago and could finally get some of our own. You won't really save any money raising them, but they are fun to have around, eat tons of scraps, and the eggs really are so much better when they are fresh!! 9mo
TheAromaofBooks Sorry, I get carried away. I'm a chicken advocate 😂 9mo
Deifio @TheAromaofBooks That's cool, a chicken advocate! I was leaning toward an easy starter breed, the dwarf Wyandottes. 9mo
TheAromaofBooks Oh all the bantams are so cute!! I only have standard-sized chickens right now, but when I was growing up we had a mixture of standards and banties. I have a silver-laced Wyandotte who is six years old and still laying away! 9mo

I didn't like. DNF. In my opinion it's just badly written. I stopped at page 54 when the MC was asked if she knew the way and given the option of a map, because of course there's a map maker in this tiny village. Last straw of stupid things in this book.
