Sometimes, when you‘ve got a lot of stuff going on IRL, you just want to read a hilarious romp about “rich people problems” and this book was absolutely perfect for that! All of the characters were likable, no matter how completely out of touch they were, and it helped distract me from some intense events.

For some reason I keep picking novels that include footnotes 😅 Thank goodness it‘s always on my kindle.

Emily and Wendell and some new friends get into all sorts of fairy predicaments in the Alps! I‘ll be counting down to the next entry in February.

“The problem is not the packing, I admit; I simply dislike travelling. Why people wish to wander to and fro when they could simply remain at home is something I will never understand. Everything is the way I like it here.”

I feel ya there, Wendell.

Otherlands was like watching a series of Nature documentaries moving further and further back in time. I‘m very glad I read this on my Kindle so I could easily look up the strange creatures described, I do wish there were more pictures in the book though.

Omg I loved this book! Emily and Wendell are delightful and I need to know more about his “terrible cat”! Looking forward to starting the second book.
