_______________

this is disheartening to me!! you can see the trail off when I started my new job in July...works out to just one and a half books a month. I don't even have the excuse of an annual doorstopper or something mega dense to really cut my teeth on, like the past couple of years (magic mountain - moby dick, I guess). I told myself a year ago 2023 would be the year of ART but ended up being "year of financial worries & bizarre work drama/year of getting onboarded physically and emotionally at new, economically viable job" so I could tell myself Fair Enough! but I yearn for more.

Fantasy Book Recs

For the people who asked for book recs, muhahaha...

(You may be interested in my book tag or my goodreads) The tag definitely repeats some of my favourites because I keep recommending them, but in my defence, they are excellent and I need no defence. 

Anyway, fantasy book recs my love...I know I have a type. We all know I have a type. I was not kidding about the fairytales/retellings obsession.

Also, let’s get it out of the way. Literally ANYTHING by V.E Schwab. I cannot stress that enough. My favourite is The Invisible Life of Addie La Rue, but like. God tier.

I’m just going to go and add Leigh Bardugo here as well. Slightly less god tier, but still great. Especially Six of Crows/Crooked Kingdom which is god tier.

Human traces of steel, concrete & synthetic material have a formative influence on the alpine landscape. Some accrued for use, some others left thoughtless.

Refused they contrast the frontier to stone, ice and the alpine flora.

December Book Recommendation

The Sisters of the Winter Wood, by Rena Rossner

Raised in a small village surrounded by vast forests, Liba and Laya have lived a peaceful sheltered life - even if they've heard of troubling times for Jews elsewhere. When their parents travel to visit their dying grandfather, the sisters are left behind in their home in the woods. But before they leave, Liba discovers the secret that their Tati can transform into a bear, and their Mami into a swan. Perhaps, Liba realizes, the old fairy tales are true. She must guard this secret carefully, even from her beloved sister. Soon a troupe of mysterious men appear in town and Laya falls under their spell-despite their mother's warning to be wary of strangers. And these are not the only dangers lurking in the woods... The sisters will need each other if they are to become the women they need to be - and save their people from the dark forces that draw closer.

modern-typewriter says: So...magical realism and fairytale elements are my jam. This was a great story, about culture and expectation, and a girl who would do anything for her family. I just loved the concept and the delivery! It was great!

If you liked this try/you might like this if you liked: The Cruel Prince by Holly Black, fairytales in general, Jewish influences in fiction...

Recently i had the pleasure to join photographer Tony Schuller & make-up artist Isabell Klause on a  photoshooting with model Melanie Näser.

It was my first time ever to follow an in studio photoshoot.

I focused on illustrating the process itself and leading the beholder step by step to the final photo. The intension was to stay in the same aesthetic as the final photo.

This video marks the beginning of series we shot together. Looking forward to expose the upcoming clips.

Can you geek out about books for a bit?

I can always geek out about books. I love reading. If you want book recs, let me know your thing, and I will get back to you if it’s anywhere near my area of reading obsession.

I just hit 100 books for 2018! 

Currently reading: The Coldest Girl in Coldtown by Holly Black

You can see my full list so far for 2018 here.

My 2018 favourites so far: Anything by Leigh Bardugo (new fave, like dear god, fave), Spinning Silver and Uprooted by Naomi Novik, Girls Made of Snow and Glass by Melissa Bashardoust, The Winternight Trilogy by Katherine Arden, The Cruel Prince by Holly Black, Deathless by Catherine M Valente, the All for the Game series by Nora Sakavic…

With favourites contenders on the long list: A Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue by Mackenzie Lee, Peter Darling by Austin Chant, Summer of Salt by Katrina Leno and Fen by Daisy Johnson. 

I’m also currently reading The Invisible Orientation by Julie Sondra Decker which is a book about asexuality, as I tend to mix my non fiction and fiction. 

Others that I loved less but still enjoyed or really enjoyed in 2018 but are still worth a read…Eleanor Oliphant is Perfectly Fine by Gail Honeyman, I am Heathcliff by Kate Mosse, The Last Romeo by Justin Meyers, The Hazel Wood by Melissa Albert, Through the Woods by Emily Carroll, The Belles by Dhonielle Clayton… 

You can find my full book recs tag here. I also tag various things under books or book-recs!

I will also always rec as a matter of good book principle the Darker Shades series by V.E Schwab, the Portable Shelter by Kirsty Logan, anything by Gillian Flynn (but especially Gone Girl and Sharp Objects), The Secret History by Donna Tart and The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller.

Just like life. Skateboarding happens to go vertical. The difference is you can choose to attend. Still in both realms you have to land it. Land it by yourself. This one is landed. It’s a make.

There is always treasures hidden to be found. Andi and Bobby literarily turned every rock around at their natural Habitat. What they showed us was a abandoned leftover hideout from world war 1.
