Goodreadings: The Warehouse
The Warehouse by Rob Hart; written in 2019, and much more recognizable in 2021 than I ever hoped. Large companies deliver everything we might wish for to our doorstep as we hardly leave the house anymore: let’s hope the rest of Hart’s dystopian novel doesn’t come true, too.
Theory Snippet: Death of the Author
Death of the Author, what does that mean? In this first Theory Snippet I attempt to explain what Roland Barthes’ essay ‘The Death of the Author’ intended, and how it is relevant when trying to separate Art from the Artist.
Poor Edgy Winx – This show won’t leave me alone
It has been another week, and the Edgy Winx of Fate: The Winx Saga have not yet left my mind. So let’s dive in again, as I discuss some of the changes that were made to fit the Winx Club characters into a contemporary show for Young Adults.

I talk an awful lot about books on this blog, but let’s discuss the tomes you’re supposed to fill yourself. Notebooks! I love collecting them, but I’m often scared to start writing since my handwriting isn’t the neatest. But is that enough reason to keep those pages empty?
The Confusing Magic of Edgy Reboots: Fate, The Winx saga
Ever since I watched Fate: The Winx Saga, it has been bothering me. I can’t let it go! Let’s talk about this quite good show with an unnecessary past, and see if I can get it out of my system.
On Rereading Books
Some people make it a tradition to reread certain books regularly, while others get rid of books as soon as they’ve finished them. Is rereading just a waste of time, or is there something that can be won by coming back to your favourite books throughout your life? Let’s see what a specialist on the subject has to say! (What- no, it’s not me! I discuss what the specialist says…)
Tracing Adaptation: The Witcher ‘n such
Every medium is good at different things. While not every adaptation is always liked by everybody, they can also offer a great introduction into new things, stories and ideas. As I was reading the book the Netflix adaptated for its series of The Witcher, I realized how much we underrate the practice of tracing adaptation.
Goodreadings: I bought an e-reader
Heresy! Blasphemy! Or is it? As a little lockdown treat I bought an e-reader, since my bookcases are full but my wishlist is not.
Welcome to 2021!
It has happened! 2020 is over! While the world won’t have changed over night, it’s always good to reflect and consider what changes and resolutions would make the new year a little better.
