I picked this up in October when I was in Denmark. It’s a nice book filled with lots of nice pictures. It details how they met, their wedding, the children, and their work over the past ten years. If you have followed them for the past ten years, there is next to little new. If… Continue reading Book review Mary and Frederik 10 years

Review: A Year of Living Danishly: My Twelve Months Unearthing the Secrets of the World’s Happiest Country
For some reason, I really seem to enjoy books where people move to another country and give their reflections on living there. In this case, British journalist from London moving to Jutland, Denmark. (Something a lot of Copenhageners I know would have had a serious problem with.) She covers topics, month for month, as she… Continue reading Review: A Year of Living Danishly: My Twelve Months Unearthing the Secrets of the World’s Happiest Country

Review: Still Reigning: Thoughts of a Queen
Still Reigning: Thoughts of a Queen by The Queen [of Twitter] I loved and chuckled often at The Queen_UK on Twitter in the beginning.

However, with this one… I… Continue reading Review: Still Reigning: Thoughts of a Queen

Book series I love: Amour et Chocolat by Laura Florand

It is fictional, but with enough facts mixed in to make it fun to read. (Not a book if you’re taking everything deadly serious.) The Queen becomes a character with… Continue reading Review: Mrs. Queen Takes the Train
