Congratulations on your first doctorate year done! 😍 Limbo sounds super intriguing to me. The footage of Berlin was lovely and appreciated. ♥️

Nothing like Spargel season! Love the Berlin vlog, it's such a fun city. Congrats on finishing the first year of your doctorate! "Limbo" sounds hard-hitting and like a good read.

Happy belated birthday wishes!
So great to see Berlin, I am missing it a lot currently.
And Spargelzeit is the best!

Happy Birthday, Sophie 🤗
Loved the footage from Berlin! And I have now moved The Coming of Bad Days and Limbo further up on my TBR.

Have a lovely day ❤️

Haha little cave. Submitting a final assignment must feel good. Limbo sounds real neat! Extra dark academia?! I mean… I’m down
Ooo I have Asylum Road! I hope it’s good!
Happy birthday~~

As always, loved the vlog! I am sold on both Limbo and Metropole. Can't wait to see what you think of Sudjic's work. I'm writing a research paper on Asylum Road, and I have to say that its quality never ceases to surprise me.
