The Smell of Ink/Lukten av Trykksverte

(Dette innlegget inneholder affiliate linker.) Tatt i betraktning at jeg deltar i POC Reading Challenge og jeg hadde  I am Malala av Malala Yousafzai med Christina Lamb i bokhylla, endte jeg opp med å lese den. Nå kommer omtalen. Beskrivelse fra Goodreads I come from a country that was created at midnight. When I almost died it was just after midday. When the Taliban took control of the Swat Valley in Pakistan, one girl spoke out. Malala Yousafzai refused to be silenced and fought for her right to an education. On Tuesday, October 9, 2012, when she was fifteen, she almost paid the ultimate price. She was shot in the head at point-blank range while riding the bus home from school, and few expected her to survive.  Instead, Malala's miraculous recovery has taken her on an extraordinary journey from a remote valley in northern Pakistan to the halls of the United Nations in New York. At sixteen, she has become a global symbol of peaceful protest and the youngest-ever Nobe...

It's yet another Wednesday, which means it's time for a new My Favourite post, thanks to  Maureen's Books  and the theme of the week was museum. There's so many fun and interesting museums around the globe, but one that I really like is Victoria and Albert Museum in London. There's so much to see there, that it's almost impossible to get over everything in one day. One museum, two grand entrances. Swipe right to compare our two very contrasting, but equally extraordinary, grand entrances. In 1891 a competition was held for the rare opportunity to extend the V&A and create a truly huge façade in South Kensington. The huge sculpted museum entrance along Cromwell Road today was a competition-winning design by the young architect Aston Webb. More than a century later, Amanda Levete’s architecture firm AL_A similarly won an extensive international competition to do the very same: to physically transform the V&A, and to continue the Museum...

(This post contains affiliate links.) I remembered that I had joined in on Foodies Read Challenge and I ended up reading the manga  Food Wars! Vol. 1  by Yuto Tsukuda and Shun Saeki as a result and here comes the review. Description from Goodreads Soma Yukihira's old man runs a small family restaurant in the less savory end of town.  Aiming to one day surpass his father's culinary prowess, Soma hones his skills day in and day out until one day, out of the blue, his father decides to enroll Soma in a classy culinary school!  Can Soma really cut it in a school that prides itself on a 10 percent graduation rate? And can he convince the beautiful, domineering heiress of the school that he belongs there at all?! My Thoughts On The Book Even though some of the characters might seem a bit one-dimensional it was still an entertaining read, especially if you're into manga and food. Food Wars also deals with social class and the expectations projected onto people in ...
