Hello and Happy April Fool’s Friday!\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

So my husband asked me today if I detected any April Fool’s pranks so far. Well looking at the “news” blankly while shaking my head I have to say that most articles I read or saw are a joke anyway. \u00a0If you are in need of some ideas for a prank, check out this link.\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>I also realized that I don’t have to move to the Bronx or Brooklyn to see street\/gang fights, drugs and crime. The police just patrolled the area here in this otherwise quiet, children-friendly neighborhood and almost arrested a bunch of kids who were drunk, screaming and beating each other up. I wonder sometimes what is happening in this world. I try to stay sane and don’t worry or judge too much but I think at the same time to what extend I am able to influence who my son hangs out with when he gets older. As parents one\u00a0should be a role model and show children the right<\/del> way that is least harmful for them while leading by example. I want to protect him of gangs like this, you know. But will I be able to? Time will tell. My week was full of awesome things otherwise. Read on if you would like.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Reading:\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>I read <\/span>Der Trick by Emanuel\u00a0<\/a>Bergman<\/u>\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>and this book kept me up reading until late at night. It is seriously that good. I found out about this wonderful book \u00a0one evening at my favorite bookstore Riemann<\/a><\/span><\/strong> when the owner Martina Riegert introduced it to a room full of passionate readers. Ulrike Radecker (Riemann Team) introduced \u00a0Sally Andrews’s Recipes for Love & Murder<\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>that evening and I love love love this book. This is my first book by a South-African writer<\/a> <\/span><\/strong>but will most certainly not be my last one. Book reviews will follow soon!\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
