I never expected it but having a Kindle completely changed my reading habits. I’ve read a total of 18 books this year, out of which 17 were on the Kindle. For comparison, in the last few years I’ve averaged somewhere around 10 books/year. So receiving a Kindle as a birthday present from the Mr. back in January was definitely a […]
Book Review – WomanCode
Continuing to work through my 2021 reading list, I am ready to share my review of the second book I read in January. Same as the first book I’ve read in 2020 (see review here), it’s also a book on the topic of health, but this time specifically focused on women’s health. As I shared in the past, accumulating knowledge on this […]
Book Review – Gut: The inside story of our body’s most underrated organ
As I shared in my 2021 reading list post, I have a goal for this year: to make my way through the 21 books on the list. That amounts to reading about two books a month, which seems doable.

I have to start this post by saying that the name of the post “21 books to read in 2021” was not planned. It just ended up this way. I actually had 22 books on my 2021 reading list but I was too eager to get started on it, so I read Bob Iger’s “The Ride of a Lifetime” in […]
The books I read in 2020

The Boys Club – Book Review
I just finished reading “The Boys Club” by Erica Katz and it left me a bit shook. I was super excited to read the book, expecting a „Devil Wears Prada“ meets „Suits“ kind of fun and entertaining story, but it took a bit of a turn in terms of the impression it left on me. Allow me to explain it: […]
Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance – Book Review
I have recently finished reading “Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance” by Angela Duckworth, and I thought it would be interesting to do a book review. On the one hand to share the learnings with you, but on the other hand to also put my thoughts together and in order (I might as well put all those notes and […]
