⭐⭐⭐

This was a short #audiobook that told a poignant yet inspiring story. Not my favorite book ever, but it was better than expected. A good reminder to live in the moment and to be present. (I will never completely stop taking pictures and trying to make physical memories either though because when life goes awry those are sometimes all you have left besides the memories.)

I chose this as my most recent #audiobook after really enjoying another book by the same author. Sadly, I quickly realized this wasn't going to hit the same way as its predecessor, and I even stopped reading multiple times thinking I'd just DNF it. But then I'd tell myself I should give it more time. So I did, and while I hated every single character, I didn't end up hating the book itself. Truth be told, the storyline was reasonably decent. ⭐⭐⭐

Max Havelaar, Or, The Coffee Auctions of a Dutch Trading Company | Multatuli

It‘s the final week of January and I finally chose a book by a Dutch author from the 1001 list. Yesterday, I thought to check LibriVox and started the tagged book. I also made hopjesvla, and this morning I had coffee custard that tastes much like a caramel latte for breakfast.

Daisey @Larkken This was a recipe I just stumbled upon when perusing Pinterest for Dutch recipes, but it was a winner I‘ll definitely keep for a different kind of sweet treat. (edited) 2d

More of a ‘feel good‘ book than I usually go for but it was cute and I enjoyed it 😊

I finished this #audiobook while organizing my knitting stuff. Onto the next audio and knitting project!

This book is one of the shorter ones by Dickens, and I enjoyed listening to the entire story within a month. I appreciated the stories of the different characters and the growth of Louisa and her father. I‘m looking forward to the discussion for this one.

Murderbot, you've grown so much! All the accolades to Kevin R Free, whose majestic #audiobook performance is absolutely perfect. He IS Murderbot, as far as I'm concerned. Can't wait til the next one!

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Picked this #audiobook for two reasons- it was available to borrow immediately and the cover was eye-catching. Was a great decision too because this fast paced story pulled me in from the start and kept me invested til the last word was read.
