Wer bloggt hier?

Hi! Mein Name ist Karo und ich blogge über gute (und weniger gute) Geschichten. Ich liebe Sherlock Holmes und seinen Deerstalker, würde gerne mal mit Doctor Who ins viktorianische London reisen, teile meine Mitmenschen gedanklich in Hogwarts-Häuser ein und bin immer auf der Suche nach der nächsten packenden Story.

YIPPIEH!

I really don't think it's fair that there is only one episode of the new #Loki series per week... If, like me, you can't get enough of Asgard's famous trickster, I can highly recommend reading this book. In 'Loki - Where Mischief Lies' by Mackenzi Lee a young Loki is sent from Asgard to 19th century London, to investigate a series of (possibly magical) murders. But while action, excitement and even romance await Loki on earth, the most pressing question is this: Can he escape his fate?

When Dan Howell announced he was going to write a mental health guide I was a little concerned. Had Dan, from being relatable, inappropriate and sarcastic in his Youtube-videos, gone to being one of those mental health gurus that would tell me that I can climb Mount Everest if I meditate daily, do 600 downward dogs and simply stop worrying? Well, luckily, no - this is not what this book is about. Phew! It is, I found, a great introduction to the topic of mental health. It also is - and this is the important bit - focused on being helpful. Like actually helpful. When it says 'A practical mental health guide' on the cover, it is absolutely telling the truth. From explaining how your mind and body go into overdrive when you're anxious, over making you question and unterstand your thought patterns, to introducing mental and breathing exercises you can use when you need them. Some of these I already tried out and found extremely power- and helpful. This book does not turn you in a mental health superhero over night. It aims to make you understand yourself and your thoughts better, it encourages you to seek (professional) help if you need to and it gives you tools to make you happier. Step by step. #bookstagram #danielhowell #youwillgetthroughthisnight #bookreview #bookish #mentalhealth #booklove #books #danhowell #bookblogger #instabooks #igreads #buchblogger #mentalhealthawarenessmonth #reading #bücher #newbooks #review #bookreview #rezension #whatiread #nonfiction #goodbooks #goodreads #igreads #thisnight

'The plants were the most luxurious, verdant, and beautiful in London. Also the most terrified.'

I think it's safe to say that, generally speaking, 2021 is a shitshow. But my silver lining is that there are a lot of great books coming out this year. Honestly, I pre-ordered more books in 2021 than in the previous 5 years combined. It is as if authors and publishers are trying to spread as much joy as possible in these shitty times - and I am grateful for this. One of these books I was looking forward to was the new Sherlock Holmes adventure by Bonnie MacBird: The Three Locks. It arrived today and boy, oh boy, does it look pretty! I enjoyed MacBirds previous three Sherlock Holmes pastiches, so I can't wait to start reading this newest installment. I can't remember what happened in the previous books in detail though, if I am honest (this happens when you read a lot of Sherlock Holmes pastiches, sorry). But I can remember two things very vividly: 1. I had a lot of fun reading them. 2. I enjoyed MacBirds versions of Holmes and Watson very much. They reminded me of the Cumberbatch and Freeman interpretations of the characters, which, combined with the victorian setting in these books, offered a slightly modern twist. So, these books were thoroughly entertaining and this is exactly what I need in lockdown-land right now: escapism and entertainment. So bring it on! #SherlockHolmes #SherlockHolmesbooks #pastiche #bakerstreet #Sherlockian #newbooks #bookrelease #prettybooks #bookblogger #sherlockiansofinstagram #booklove #bookstagram #instabooks #booksbooksbooks #bookblog #buchblog #bonniemacbird #mystery #krimi

Being a Sherlock Holmes nerd means that you probably own a variety of editions of Sherlock Holmes stories - and loving all of them for different reasons. I have a leather-bound complete collection with gold rimmed pages (my greatest treasure), the complete works as an e-book (this is how I read the stories for the first time - best 50 cents I ever spent), an edition with the illustrations by Sidney Paget (which I got for my thirtieth birthday) and even a collection with the shittiest german translation you could imagine (which I originally bought for research (fail) and now scroll through from time to time to amuse myself). These paperbacks however are the books I actually use when I'm in the mood for a little re-read (I'm currently revisiting 'The Return of Sherlock Holmes'). They are from the Pocket Penguin Classics collection from 2008. I love the striking cover-art and they have a great format. I'd like to get the other Sherlock Holmes books from this collection, too. But they are quite hard to get (at least here in Germany) and let's be honest: 'The Adventures', 'The Memoirs' and 'The Return' feature the best Sherlock Holmes Stories anyway. So I can live with it for now 😊 What are your most treasured Sherlock Holmes editions? 🕵️‍♂️ #sherlockiansofinstagram #SherlockHolmes #classics #Sherlock #bookstagram #igreads #favouritebooks #lesen #books #bibliophile #reading #booklover #buchliebe #221b #reread #instabooks #currentlyreading #leseliebe #beautifulbooks #bookblogger

Some silly little Sherlock Holmes themed lino-prints I made.

Oh happy day! Nothing brings more joy to the common bookworm than the delivery of a pre-ordered book by their favourite author. 🐛

Ever since the movie 'The Imitation Game' came out in 2014 there was a surge of people who became aware of and wanted to know about the life and work of Alan Turing. The standard work for this topic is of course 'Alan Turing: The Enigma' by Andrew Hodges. Hodges' biography stands unchallenged for almost 40 years now and nearly all other biographies stand on its shoulders. Hodges' book can feel a bit overwhelming though - it is so very rich in detail. So, if you felt a little discouraged by the sheer mass of information and mathematics in 'Alan Turing: The Enigma', this here might be the right book for you. 'Prof: Alan Turing Decoded' was written by Alan Turing's nephew, Dermot Turing. It gives a good overview, is engagingly written and manages the balance between detail and simplification. I would recommend it as an introduction to the topic as well as a recap for 'Turing-fans' (I include myself in this latter group). But don't set your hopes up too high to find some completely new insights here, if you already know a thing or two about Alan Turing. True, there are some chapters that contain information that was classified when Hodges wrote his book. But they're no big revelations. Still: This is a good read. #alanturing #turing #bookstagram #igreads #instabooks #biography #bookreview #review #whatiread #theimitationgame #reading #bibliophile #books #lesen #bücher #bücherliebe #goodbooks #goodreads #bookblogger #buchblogger #lesetipp #enigma #imitationgame

There are lots of books called 'Lock and Key'. Most of them are steamy love-stories or erotic novels. This however is not one of them. 'Lock and Key' by Ridley Pearson is a detective story featuring Sherlock Holmes and James Moriarty as teenagers at a boarding school. The story is narrated by Moriarty's younger sister, Moria, who is torn between the allegiance to her older brother and the friendship with the brilliant, yet annoying, Sherlock Holmes. The story, which revolves around secret societies, hidden clues and - yes - murder is fast paced, entertaining and really exciting. Especially towards the end I couldn't put this book down. There are, however, some things that bothered me here. Firstly the characters lacked a bit of depth. But since this book is written for a younger audience, I can overlook this in favour of a thrilling mystery. But the thing that didn't work for me at all was that the story was supposed to take place in our present times but didn't feel like it. Firstly everybody in this book talked in a very outdated way - especially Sherlock, who seemed to be a victorian gentlemen trapped in the body of a teenaged boy. Secondly the setting at an old fashioned school took away everything that could feel modern - mobile phones aren't allowed there for example. Why then bother to put the story in our times at all? I think, setting Sherlock Holmes stories in the present day does only ever work or make sense if the protagonists interact with the times they are put in. Meaning: If you tell a Sherlock Holmes story in the present day, Holmes should make use of the tools this time-period offers, instead of relying on methods and manners from victorian sleuthing. For instance: using the internet or mobile phones to get information and communicate etc. This doesn't happen here, which is a shame.
