Originally published in Australia last lear June, Wildlife hit the international arena this year — April in Germany and the past week in the USA. The German title, Wilder Sommer doesn’t deviate too much from the English titles. Translated it means “wild summer” which is pretty clear, in my opinion.

Single-ingredient banana ice cream is the best! It’s so easy to make without an once cream maker, so I’ve been experimenting with it. I especially like that it doesn’t require any addition of sugar. Plus, by making my own ice cream, I know there aren’t any preservatives or other ingredients that are questionable for health.
Book Cover Culture #5: The Archived
I’m constantly surprised when I come across translated books with covers that are so vastly different from one another, you’d hardly think they’re of the same book. It particularly baffles me when the covers imply very different genres. That’s what happened with The Archived by Victoria Schwab.
Breaking Down Book Photography
“Why are you taking photos of your books?” Certainly, I’m not the only one who’s had to answer this question. As long as you blog about books, are a bookstagrammer or post book photography on Tumblr, someone is bound to have asked you this as well.
Retrospect #36: September 7th
As you can see in the above photos, I rearranged some of my books. I share an IKEA Expedit 5-by-5 bookcase (that IKEA sadly discontinued earlier this year). Since I own way more books than my sister does, she has 10 pigeon holes while I have 15. A good number of those are used for school books, music scores, old children’s books, board games etc. I love how there’s enough space to double-stack books, such that I can tuck away books I won’t be reading in the foreseeable future.
