Last week I brought to you my thoughts about Castle and the first two books written by the one and only, Richard Castle. As you may or may not remember I was halfway through the third book and by Monday I was reading the acknowledgements. Today’s post is obviously a review (you can tell by the title) and before I go far on this is something I need to point out immediately: the original book cover is soo much prettier than the Portuguese one – this time Portugal you failed –  and I know, I know, don’t judge a book by its cover but came on… you did such a good job with the French Gardener cover! Back to the review… I leave here the Goodreader synopsis of the book: Heat rises in the coldest New York winter of a century. The bizarre murder of a parish priest at a bondage club …

Yesterday was officially the first day of Autumn which makes me so happy. The trees are changing from the intense and alive green to a delicate fiery colour. What I must enjoy is the step-by-step change we see until winter which gives us time to prepare ourselves to get cosy and layer up before went outside. Speaking of it, sweaters, big scarves, bobble hats and boots are finally back! And with them came along my birthday and Halloween for next month, I might not celebrate it since high school but I will always remember as the best memories of my friends and the time we all spent together. To end the year there is also another exciting celebration: Christmas!! Oh my… I love Christmas so much but that is for another post. Don’t ask me why but with the days getting smaller it gives me a huge pleasure wake up before the sun …

More than two weeks later I remember I still haven’t celebrated here in the blog the arrival of spring. For that reason, I decided to talk about one book that I think is perfect to read while the flowers start to blossom and the sun decides to give some kisses between the clouds.

A couple days ago I was organizing my images on my computer and found the first image of a recipe I toke where I am currently living. I’ll be honest is not the best recipe I had ever cooked but it was tasty! Also is quick and easy to do!! Grocery List: Tagliatelle (100g portion) Sausages (is up to you but be careful with the seasoning some have strong and salty flavor) Spanich, fresh or frozen (100g portion) Marron Mushrooms Sweet corn Coconut Milk Salt, black pepper, and nutmeg When I am cooking I like to do multi-taste so all of the components of the dish came out at the same time or as nearly as possible. Despite the pasta, all of the others ingredients are already ready to be eaten so they’ll take less time to cook. I’ll leave where a tip to start cooking at the right moment. …

I am one of those persons who love being at home in a comfy pyjama all day long. At the same time, I love the outdoors. When you get up of the sofa and get dressed to go out to discover the city is such a nice and peaceful activity to do. But when you are visiting your hometown is even better! You have the chance to see what is different, what changed in the past month or what you remember from your childhood. Spread all over the city of Figueira da Foz, I have memories of when I was a little girl. In the last month, I did a small trip around one of my favorite places in the city as a kid:  the municipal garden. When I was 5 years old (15 years ago), my grandparents used to take me to the garden so I can feed the pigeons, …

Hello, everyone! Happy New Year!! You’re right… I am the worst blogger EVER!!! Is 20th of January 2016 and this is my first post of the year! But if you go check my last post it as been 26 days!! Almost a month without saying a word. I will give you all the excuses in the book (FYI, this is top level procrastination) so be prepared. Frist one: University If you currently are (or have been) in a university you know the struggle when it comes to organizing and keep doing your hobbies, sometimes is a choice between work and pleasure (obviously, work wins). Especially when you have as your main subject handwork. Second one: Family time Take some days off to stay home and enjoy quality family time is great during holidays, but that means no work done. Third one: no one knows! This is true and also an excuse. No …
