About a month ago I published my quarantine reading list to share the books I read during the first four weeks of quarantine in Norway. It was part one of an uncertain number since I did not know how long we would be stuck inside. Though the government still recommends social distancing, normal life has […]

I have decided to compose full reviews of my favorite book read each month. January 2020’s first place prize goes to The Plot Against America by Philip Roth. Review: The Plot Against America Setting: New Jersey, USA/1940 Readers know Philip Roth as the man who fictionalizes reality. Or turns reality into fiction. Wait, or is […]

Here in Norway we have officially been in quarantine for just over four weeks. What that means for us is that we don’t congregate in groups of larger than five, most businesses are closed, we must stand 2 meters apart, a guard stands at the door of the wine shop to control how many people […]

These are a few lovely bits lately that have held onto a space in my mind, memory, or mouth. School Girl: Chapters 1 & 2 by Caroline Calloway Okay, if you haven’t met Caroline’s Instagram account yet, you need to. I’ll wait while you do it right now. Done? Right, so she’s been writing a […]

Ann Morgan always believed herself to be a well-rounded, well-informed, well-read person… until she realized that a majority of the books on her shelves were written by American and British authors. Without a doubt, there are some phenomenal works of literature from these areas of the world. Some would argue that many of the world’s […]

It’s been a while since I have done one of these and I think it’s time to share what’s on my bedside table with you. In all honesty, my nightstand is an absolute chaotic, poetic, mess. But that’s okay. There are nearly too many books, loose jewelry, and a pile of notebooks because, well, I […]
