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!

This book - JG Ballard's 'High-Rise' - shook me to the core. It is a dystopian novel, set in an giant apartment building with more than 1000 flats. Tensions start to rise slowly due to blocked garbage chutes and escalate quickly when the first floors experience power shortages resulting in mayhem, violence, destruction and the social collapse within the building. Stripped from social morals and rules what remains are the basic human needs: Shelter, food and sex. But for some residents this moral free zone offers the possibility to give in to the more sinister things lurking inside them: Cruelty and perversion. The microcosmos that Ballard shows us in this book is a terrifying view onto the fragility of society as a whole. A couple of years ago I would have found this absurd. But after seeing people fight over toilet paper, my opinion on humans has decreased somewhat. #bookstagram #books #reading #instabooks #novel #highrise #bookwithaview #booknerd #buchliebe #berlin #goodbooks #bücher #booklover #igreads #classics #booksofig #buchtipp #bookblogger #buchblogger

No more Loki-Wednesdays, no more new episodes till (probably) 2023...*sniff-sniff*

You know what makes me happy? Murder! No, that sounds wrong! I mean: A good murder mystery! Not a gruesome one - no, a good old cosy whodunit. That's why I was looking forward to Maureen Johnson's new book 'The Box in the Woods'. I loved her previous 'Truly Devious' series. It had the whole package: Suspense, mystery, a cosy setting, which stands in contrast to the creepy crimes committed there, red herrings and a cool detective - Stevie Bell - and lots of other quirky - and suspicious - characters. I'm halfway through 'The Box in the Woods' now and it has been lot of fun! And by fun I mean: it's extremely intriguing, suspenseful and a bit creepy (it takes place at a summer camp, which is the classic horror film setting). I have a lot of theories, but basically I have no clue who the culprit is yet, which is a good thing. Nothing spoils a whodunit more than finding out who did it in the first half of the book. If you'll excuse me now: I have to read on. Have a nice day!

We're halfway through 2021! Time for a little recap! I read 25 books so far - which isn't as much as I wanted, but that doesn't really matter. What matters is that I had a lot of fun reading. Sometimes though reading is more than just fun and books manage to sweep me off my feet completely. These are the 4 books that managed to do this in 2021 - the highlights of my reading-year so far:

Happy Turing-Day! On this day, 109 years ago, Alan Turing was born. He was a logician, mathematician, codebreaker, computer scientist and one of the great thinkers of the 20th century. His ideas were truly revolutionary. In fact, he is the reason you are able to read this text here right now on your smartphone. This little computer you carry with you everywhere exists because Alan layed the groundwork for it in his research paper 'On computable numbers' - in 1 9 3 6, when no one else could have imagined such a thing.

Looking for an existential crisis? Then you have come to the right place! Read 'The End of Everything (Astrophysically Speaking)" by Katie Mack and find out all about the cool apocalyptic routes our universe could take! Learn all about Heat Death, the Big Rip, Vacuum Decay and many more. But don't let the end of the universe scare you. The earth will possibly no longer exist when and if this happens. Our sun will have burned the planet by then. So....YOLO, I guess?

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.'
