Short month but that doesn’t mean I didn’t kill it in the reading and movie watching department… 18 books, 16 comics, 14 movies and some tv-series and shows… (of which I found two worth mentioning!) And as always, the lists are next. See you next month!

February was supposed to be mostly Scandinavian books – I did read 8 – but somehow I managed to surpass it with… all other kinds of books 🥴 Ah well…

Tv-show

Based on the book by Heather Morris, we have watched The Tattooist of Auschwitz. I may not have read the book (yet?) but this adaptation was worth the time spent. And I wouldn’t be a good blogger if I didn’t mention this tv-show (and of course the book it was based on). Please give it a chance!

Voor de Belgen: deze serie staat integraal op VRT MAX.

Another miniseries worth mentioning and based on true events which have been written down by John Preston is A very English Scandal with Hugh Grant as Jeremy Thorpe and Ben Whishaw as Norman Scott. Truly a delight to watch but a history that had severe repercussions! (momenteel ook te zien via VRT MAX)
