Louvre has nothing on my cat.

This Sunday I read Gretel on Her Own by Elna Holst, a novella that is so sweet and so fun I decided I want to share some words about it. And then I remembered that I still have a (creepy) gingerbread house from last Christmas so naturally I decided it's the perfect prop for Instagram photo.

I wasn't really planning on stealing @vesnakurilic hobby or her puzzles but I was searching for something do to with my hands while I'm listening to my audiobooks. And most of the time what I do is chores around house or long walks with my dog in our park. But I still needed something more so it started with helping out with escape puzzles and it ended with me chosing and starting on my own with other puzzles.

Look at that, a paperback!

It's here! The amazing necklace made by @sarena.vrana that I fell in love as soon as I saw it. "Ajde ne" is a perfect... emotion, I could call it, one I feel very regularly. (Translation would be something like "let's not" but it carries the exasperation in Croatian that is full, well, Croatian.)

Today is a day for a lot of things. It's the first day of spring, World Storytelling Day, International Day of Happiness, International Day Without Meat and so on...

It was a perfect day for a small road trip in Lika. It started with my wish to see a specific river source for my novel writing purposes (it's hard to even call it research... because it's not, not really). And it ended with sunset over the derelict fortress.

Yes, I'm using the #internationalwomensday as an excuse to show some of my favorite women authors and amazing books I loved by women authors. And I wanted to pull of Lesley Knope with her inspirational women photos, sneaking in my own book Mistress of Geese. Because I'm also very proud of it. 💅

It's a beautiful sunny sunday, so perfect for a longer walk in the park while listening to The City We Became by N.K. Jemisin.
