Sometimes I really need some me time with a (good) book, a (crispy) glass of wine and a (hearty) bowl of something delicious to keep me company. I can be very anxious at times with or without reason and I have found that this combination helps me relax and unwind. So as I have been…
I loved reading The Fault In Our Stars and I know many of you have as well. I don’t know what it is with this book, it is overly sad and painful, however it seems to have touched and inspired so many people! I often come across beautiful illustrations of various quotes from the book…
While I was translating the fourth book in the Selection series, The Heir, by Kiera Cass, I have been listening to various tracks, depending on the mood of the book and the narrative pace. It really helps me create an atmosphere and I feel its a nice way for my translation will be in harmony with…

I do use them for work, though, so I try to pick colorful fun…
Literally, I spent the weekend with a fever, feeling awful every waking moment (and the very few sleeping ones, too) ! I got the cold a) because we went to the movies on Friday and it was so hot in the room I couldn’t bear it! I always get sick after being forced to stay…

Although I designed my office myself, with simple, elegant touches including some of my favorite elements, I cannot deny the fact that I have since transformed it into a messy hell of printouts, files, knick-knacks…
