Glued to the Pages – 5 Unputdownable Books

21st May 2019 by Norrie

It’s always nice to find a book that sucks you in from the first page. Entertaining, immersive, exciting, you just want to know what happens next. Unputdownable, we can say. The only drawback of such books is that often life gets in the way. I can’t help but get annoyed when I’m at a particularly juicy part in the story, and I have to stop, ‘cuz you know, someone’s gotta work. (Yeah, that someone’s usually me in these cases.) Now, […]

I Can’t Even… The 10 Best Books I Read In 2018

28th Dec 2018 by Norrie

I’ve never in my life managed to read as many books as I did this year. 106 until now, and we still have three days left. The plot thickens! I’m still wondering how I actually pulled this off, because I’m still watching TV series and true crime documentaries like my life depended on it, I went on holidays and hung out with my friends like before. Must be the insomnia or something. If I’m honest, I’d rather be sleeping. #1 […]

Book lover, cat hugger, coffee drinker, wiseass, capable of eating half a cheesecake in one sitting. Best not to approach before she had her breakfast. Loves a good thriller, but would probably not touch romance with a stick. Based on the amount of crime fiction she’s read, could probably solve a crime. Or not, but she would certainly try. Loves science fiction and secretly dreams about joining the Starfleet since she was fourteen. Hates ignorance and anything with coriander. Doesn’t operate well below 25 degree Celsius.
