Since I took a hiatus for a year, now I have some catching up to do. I can’t say I read a lot but don’t worry, I have a few books I need to talk about. And as you have read in the title, today I’m going to tell you – or try to – why I loved What She Found in the Woods by Josephine…
One of the top apps for the past few years to learn any language is Duolingo. People seem to be obsessed with this smiley-faced-but-actually-wants-to-murder-you Owl. While I’m on my long journey to learn Japanese all by myself, I want to try the more hip and helpful free apps on the market. To be completely honest, I just haven’t found the right app or source that allows…

Summer has come early this year, and while I’m sweating over here, I might just sit down with some ice-cold tea and write about every book I read in May. Wrap-Up I was expecting to finish A Game of Thrones by George R R Martin in the first week, but no. I left it there on my nightstand, judging me, while I was happily doing a…
The days might be cloudy and rainy, but one thing is undeniable: Spring has arrived. And the small taste o sunny weather brings out the gardener in me. It’s beautiful to watch something grow day after day, taking care of it, and then harvest the hard work. For the longest time, I wanted to create a small garden with vegetables and herbs to feed my little…
How is it possible that April is already over? March felt it had 365 days and April had like two weeks? What is happening? We are one month away from the middle of the year and from a new Sims 4 Expansion Pack – sorry to plug that in, but I just found out the news! But before I start to care about what is yet…
OWLs 2020 is officially over – it has been over for 4 days already – and I decided to compile the last two weeks into one post. After the second week, it started to get a little complicated to keep the momentum. These are some exceptional times we are living in, and not every day is a good day. Also not having a book like Pachinko…

Another week of reading books for the OWLs 2020 is done. It wasn’t as productive as the first one, but I’m still reading and that’s all that matter. Wednesday, 8th April 2020 Last night, I entered the third and last part of Pachinko. The book is divided into three parts, each one sort of following each generation, and now I’m in the final round. This part…
Back in 2017, I did a little readathon of my own to countdown the days until Christmas, and I was posting updates of my reading regularly. And last month, when Noura from the blog The Perks of Being Noura did a reading blog where she documented her weekend while she was reading Chain of Gold by Cassandra Claire, she got me thinking that maybe I could…
In 2020, March had 365 days instead of the ordinary 31, and being at home in lockdown didn’t help. But I’m not here to talk about these bad days we are living in. No, for that you can turn on the news. In this house, sadness stays outside the door, and if it dares to come in, I’ll fight it with a movie, a game, and…
I'm Joana, the girl behind Miss Known. You can find me sipping a hot cup of tea while unravelling mysteries, playing games, baking goodies, crafting loads, and report it back in posts.
