March Reads
March was a huge month for books at the Treehouse. I read quite some novels, and it would have been more, had part of the month not been devoted to my midterm exams and essay writing. Most of the reading I did for this month […]
February Reads
Hello there, It’s time for another book post. February was a better month for reading in many ways. It was also a month of classical reading. I never considered myself the kind of person that liked this particular genre. I blame this prejudice partly on […]

Swish & Flick: the fanfiction
If I would have been able to go to Hogwarts, I know for sure that Hermione and I would have been great friends. I mean, I’m pretty sure my parents are muggles, just like hers. We also both love cats. Whereas other wizzards let their […]
