First things first; if you have stopped by “The Infinite Shelf” since yesterday, you might have noticed there’s been a change in the looks! I felt the need for something more colorful, with the spring and the sun and all, so I made a new banner and here it is! Hopefully it won’t scare the readers away! 😉 * * * The Artsy Shelf is a new feature I’ve been wanting to add to my blog for a while, and which consists in...

Hello, fellow readers! I’m now 24 hours away from getting on the plane to Cuba! We will take off at 6 in the morning, and land there around 10 am – which means, I’ll be dipping my toes in the water around 11 am on Saturday morning!

I read a lot, and many kinds of style; mostly I love historical fiction, fiction, classics, fantasy and non fiction about ancient history.
