New Music 10/2022 – Rosalía, Torres, Nilüfer Yanya

October 18, 2022June 7, 2024yggdrasille

I kinda slowed down on the new music in the past few months, and music in general to be honest, because for some reason I’ve preferred listening to YouTube creators and podcasts lately. However I did find time for a few great releases from this and past years.

The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller – Book Review

October 13, 2022June 7, 2024yggdrasille

This exquisitely written novel re-imagines Homer’s epic tale as a touching love story between two childhood friends against the backdrop of the Trojan War.

Top Ten Tuesday – Books I Read on Holiday

October 11, 2022July 6, 2025yggdrasille

Another great topic from That Artsy Reader Girl that combines reading and travel.

Though I will readily admit the practical advantages of Kindle, I remain old-fashioned and always prefer to take a physical book with me, even if it occupies valuable luggage space. Quite a lot of space at times: looking at the list, I really tend to go for massive door stoppers when it comes to a long overseas holiday.

Moonage Daydream – Film Review

October 6, 2022June 7, 2024yggdrasille

An ambitious, kaleidoscopic David Bowie documentary that’s both intoxicating and exhausting, Moonage Daydream is a glorious feast for the eyes and ears that throws everything but the kitchen sink onscreen.

Drive My Car – Film Review

October 4, 2022June 7, 2024yggdrasille

Despite the slow deliberate pace and three-hour running time, I was completely captivated by this beautiful, layered adaptation of Haruki Murakami’s short story about infidelity, grief, art and the impenetrable mystery of other people’s lives and secrets.

Top Ten Tuesday – Typographic Book Covers

September 27, 2022May 25, 2025yggdrasille

As a graphic designer, I just had to do this week’s topic from That Artsy Reader Girl – Typographic Book Covers.

They say you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, but it is after all the first thing you notice. Even when I don’t end up buying a book, it gladdens my heart to see typography that’s beautiful, fun and creative. To make it a bit more challenging, I decided to restrict the covers to science fiction, fantasy and other works of imagination.
