May favourites

Every month, I write about three things I really liked as a way to reflect upon the good things. In May 2022, I like the new Kobo Elipsa e-reader, Intimations by Zadie Smith, and It Came from The Glass Curtain! by Adam Paxman.

Kobo Elipsa e-reader
Review

Like many people I know, I tend to keep my electronics for as long as possible, because (1) I always find that everything is too darn expensive — a trait I've inherited from my dad, I'm afraid —, and (2) I feel guilty whenever I have to replace them because there is no real way to know what sort of damages discarded electronics cause on the environment. So I still had my first Kindle, a 4th generation device from 2011, which I still loved, but lacked some features I really needed.

Château de Seneffe

I don't typically write about Belgium, and it is a shame, to be honest. If I may say so myself, my (tiny) country has a lot to offer, and I'm not just talking about chips, chocolate, and beer (though they are ok, I guess). Take those random castles you've never heard of, for example.
