PONTI by Sharlene Teo

July 25, 2018

Book cover & rating - Ponti by Sharlene TeoSharlene Teo writes well and chooses her words very precisely. Her prose is at once cutting, yet atmospheric, which fit Ponti well. Teo’s very talented and the years of hard work she put into honing her craft are evident in her debut novel.

THE CHRISTMAS MYSTERY by Jostein Gaarder

December 24, 2015

Book cover & rating - The Christmas Mystery by Jostein GaarderIt’s Christmas Eve and so the Advent season is practically over. The same goes for The Christmas Mystery. While I’ve owned it for about ten years (probably more), I’ve never actually read it. This year I finally picked it up and used it as an Advent calendar. I must say, I’m glad I did. While I forgot my chocolates half-way through last year, there’s no way I could forget a book.

· Categories: Fiction Keywords: advent, christmas, family life, history, metafiction, mystery, philosophy, pilgrimage, time travel
