12. what size bed do you have?

An average single bed

14. if you can live anywhere in the world where would it be? why? 

Hamburg or anywhere in Northern Germany near Hamburg. I’m from the south but I prefer the north. The sea, the mentality of the people there, the beautiful hanse towns, the fact that an entire sentence can be expressed just by the word “Jo” (which can mean pretty much everything). I could go on.

25. what color socks are you wearing? 

Dark red (they’re cozy)

33. favorite actor?

Elliot Page

34. favorite actress?

Karen Gillan

55. what is your dream job?

Something with IT security, maybe databases too. If we’re talking about unrealistic dreams: Reclusive musician living on an apple farm in the Altes Land.

70. what was the last concert you saw?

all you need is love! - Das Beatles-Musical (in Karlsruhe, 2016 or so)

85. what shirt are you wearing? 

A black-red-white striped pullover

86. what is your phone background?

This pic I took in Cuxhaven.

94. favorite lyrics right now

Wer hält deine Hand, wenn es dich nach unten zieht?

Thank you for the ask!

I got a song called Neliöjuuri from Apulanta. That’s a good one, and a perfect one for this kind of ask! :D It’s in Finnish so I’m also throwing in a rough translation.

N-E-L-I-Ö neliöjuuri N-E-L-I-Ö neliöjuuri N-E-L-I-Ö neliöjuuri N-E-L-I-Ö

4. Did you discover any new authors that you love this year? I read Nastassja Martin ("In the Eye of the Wild") for the first time this year, and I loved it!! I really want to pick up her more indepth exploration of her anthropological work now.

6. Was there anything you meant to read, but never got to? I VERY MUCH set the goal of reading Vita Activa by Hannah Arandt this year and didn't even touch it once. I really hope I'll be brave enough to pick it up this year.

14. What books do you want to finish before the year is over? I managed to finish "Trost: Vier Übungen" by Hanna Engelmeier, and "Wo der Name wohnt" by Ricarda Messner, which I am very happy about! The two books I carried with me into the new year are "Bread of Angels" by Patti Smith and "Babysitter" by Joyce Carol Oates.

15. Did you read any books that were nominated for or won awards this year (Booker, Women’s Prize, National Book Award, Pulitzer, Hugo, etc.)? What did you think of them? Oh, let's see if I can think of that from the top of my head - I read "Russische Spezialitäten" by Dimitrij Kapitelman before it was nominated for the Deutscher Buchpreis, and I absolutely adored this one. I feel like "Perfection" by Vincenzo Latronico was also nominated, maybe for the International Booker? But I didn't like this one that much. It's fun and quite 'real', but to me, it really lacked any deeper layer. A much better fun-yet-deep-book to me was "Single Mom Supper Club" by Jacinta Nandi, which was also nominated for the Buchpreis, and I adooored this one. It's absurd but it still touches on real things and actually explores them, which made a very captivating read. 23. What’s the fastest time it took you to read a book? I read a lot this year, which means I finished a bunch of short books within a day. I like being immersed like this and it's obviously fun when you cannot put down a book, but it also makes the memory quite blurry, unfortunately. thank youuuu darling, I wish the same for you and hope you are feeling comfortable and optimistic about this new year!!
