Movie review: Misbehaviour

Image
Good morning! Good afternoon! Good night! At the end of September I went to the premiere of the movie 'Misbehaviour'. I don't know whether in your country you are able to go to the cinema, but if you can't maybe you can just wait until this movie hits any streaming platform. Fortunately in my area we are able to go and on that last day of September I had an entire cinema just for myself (it was a rather weird but cool experience though).  source:  https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcR1ydYuQCjSga3wftQGWGaAKcyJr1-s_ye20mWT1ab2NCKx7v0u The movie is about the Miss World contest 1970 in London. Keira Knightley plays one of the main character, a mother and student who participates in the feminist group also known as 'Women's liberation movement'. These women fought against the role and portrayal of women in the sixties and seventies. With the upcoming beauty competition they start to plan a heckling. The movies not only portrays the story of the ...

Book review: Twenties Girl - Sophie Kinsella

Image
Good afternoon my fellow readers! I hope you are all doing well despite the quarantine most of us are in (little disclaimer: please stay at home and the respect social distancing everyone is talking about. If not for yourself than for others!!). I am staying at home too and trying to motivate myself to read a little more since I do have loads of time. My main occupation however has been to listen to podcasts and draw mandalas (it is very calming and you can easily pass hours doing it).  I thought I could throw in a book recommendation if you want to get you bootie up and stop binge-watching for a bit - even though it is perfectly understandable to do so. I hope I can inspire you to get (back) into the world of books.  It has been a little while since I read this amazing book called "Twenties Girl" by the incredible author Sophie Kinsella. It is not the first book of hers I have read and recommended and it surely won't be the last. But here's the blurb for yo...

Book review: We were liars - E. Lockhart

Image
Happy new year everyone! It's been a while since I last posted something here and I'm sorry for that but I wasn't really in the mood to write anything. However, the new year gave me loads of motivation to regularly post something (but I can't and won't promise it, we will see). I hope you had a great start into the new year and are full of joy for this new decade. One of my resolutions for this year is to read more and especially more on a regular basis (instead of using my phone or watching Netflix & co.). That is kind of the reason why I am starting this year with a book recommendation for you. The book I want to introduce you is called "We were liars" and was written in 2014 by the author E. Lockhart. It is an award-winning young adult novel and many critics consider it as a classic for teenagers to read. I bought it on a trip to London a long time ago when I wasn't even able to really read and understand it but I just wanted to buy a book a...

Book review: Finding Audrey - Sophie Kinsella

Image
Welcome back! I snooped through my bookshelf and made quite a long list of books that I want to review for you. So for now I guess my main topics for the blog will be Bujo and books.  To the book: It is called "Finding Audrey" and was written by Sophie Kinsella, the famous author of the Shopaholic-series. It is her first youth book and it was actually the first English book I read. For you to get an idea of the content, here's the blurb:

Book review: The Future of Us - Jay Asher & Carolyn Mackler

Image
Welcome back! As mentioned in my last post I also write book reviews and wanted to share one today. I read a lot of youth, romantic and fantasy books but I always try to change the genre and the language of the books (for me as a half Brazilian and half German I change in between English, German, Portuguese and I'm trying to read a book in French too). That also means I can't share all of my books since some of the authors are German/Brazilian and there is no translation available. If anyone would however be interested in knowing any of these books you can always contact me. To the book. I read it in German (Title: "Wir beide, irgendwann") so I only have a picture of the German version. It was written by Jay Asher, who is also the author of "Thirteen reasons why", and Carolyn Mackler. So that you can get an impression what the book is about here is the blurb (which I took from the Internet):
