I fucking loved this shit!!!
- The world is super interesting, although initially overwhelming it really grips you (since I watched the show years back I feel I had an advantage so for totally new readers it would be more tough)
- Complex characters with interesting relationship dynamics ♡♡
- Cool heist with lots of different elements and "oh shit what now" moments that I love
- Pretty satisfying ending with a great setup for the next book!
I'm gonna start reading book 2 now ;))
Six of Crows (Six of Crows, #1)
Leigh Bardugo
Hey everyone I would love to know if this post is a good idea or not/at the right place!
So I'm Dutch and Ketterdam/Kech is largely based on the Amsterdam/the Netherlands and Leigh actually used a lot of Dutch names (Joost, Rutger) but also partly Dutch words so I thought I would put some translations here as I come across them in the book! These are obviously not necessary to understand the book but I figured people might find it interesting to know.
Ketterdam: ketter = heretic Geldstraat: geld = money, straat = street stadwatch: stad = city beurscanal: beurs = (stock) exchange
Ciao Bookaholics!
How is everyone?
Im currently on an archaeology placement for uni and I recently read an Indiana Jones spoof romace book for a little bit of fun
I want to know....
Have you ever read a book related to your job/degree? And how did you find it? 🤔

I'm a STEM girlie (microbiology specifically) so I actually really enjoyed The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood because from what I remember the science aspects were accurate!! I also freaking loved Project Hail Mary because Grace is literally a microbiologist and the science was super freaking cool since I also enjoy space!
So far I haven't read a biology focused fiction book that fucked the science up because that would really irritate me (like that one scene in the PHM movie lol)
