Long time no see! It has been ages since I’ve written anything on this little corner of the internet. I was expecting to take at least a two weeks break before Christmas, turns out it became an extended pause. Between two part-time jobs, a 25 hours curse, the usual Holiday madness, and family emergencies, December flew by. When January arrived everything slowed down, but I still kept on delaying my come back over and over again. Hopefully, this February is going to be my return to old routines and my usual schedule. I still need to organize my mind and start to plan ahead – or at least try. Back in December, I had planned to read so many books.

Although an affair and an unwanted child aren’t the only secrets his hiding. None of his books are written by him. He is a liar, a cheater, and always has been his whole life. But now that the baby can disturb the perfect little life he has created for himself, he has to take the matter into his own hands – did I pass on the murderer vibes? ‘Cus that’s what I was looking for 😉 On the other hand, Neil Patrick Harris‘ book was exactly what I wanted to read around Christmas, a cosy, heartwarming, and magical book. Middle-grade books are great! The Magic Misfits it’s so fun to read. You have a story about a group of kids coming from completely different...
