“Many a book is like a key to unknown chambers within the castle of one’s own self.” ― Franz Kafka

I'm an avid reader and sometimes a writer, so you'll find book posts and writing advice here, mixed with some random posts about my life and whatever else catches my interest.

My favourite genres are fantasy and sci-fi, but I'll read pretty much everything and books for every age group. Some of my favourites are YA or children's books. If it's well written, I'll read it, if not, I'll put it aside for someone else to love.

If you want to see me fangirl about things other than books, have a look at my main blog. All follows, likes and messages will come from there as well, so don't be surprised.

What else is there to know about me? I'm a single mom, a lifelong fangirl, geek, goth (yes, I love black with red and purple, even if my blog might now reflect this), love to knit, crochet and sew (the results of that can be found on my craft blog).

I love languages: German is my native language, I'm fluent in English, know some French and very little Spanish. Recently I started to learn German Sign Language. My dream job would be as a translator and I'm working up towards that goal.

Coffee or Tea? Why not both? First thing in the morning I prefer my coffee, but otherwise I'm an equal opportunites kind of girl.
