Child of the Library

Hi, welcome to the "Child of the Library" podcast, where we discover the words on our shelves and in our hearts. I am Mareike, a 30-year-old book lover living in Germany, but mostly reading literature in English. In this podcast I share bookish stories, news and recommendations. Additionally, my two friends Jordanne from the "Books To Last" podcast and Ruby join me in talking about popular books and series in our "International Committee" format. If you would like to send me a collaboration request,

#44 - Spring Reading Recap - On-the-go in Tuscany...

Child of the Library ·

2024/07/31

Hi everyone,happy summer! I hope you have transitioned well into the (too) hot season. To wrap up spring I am bringing for my reading recap from a very special location - the little family-run hotel in Tuscany (Italy) that we love so much. Author Mark Tullius and his family joined us in our travels and I took the chance to record an on-the-go episode in this beautiful surrounding that makes my heart feel so at peace. I had to laugh so hard editing this episode because I leave my original recording

2024/05/05

Hello everyone, winter is over and we are well into spring - nature is blooming, temperatures are rising and falling back and forth and I would say this means it is time to do a little reading recap of the past season! I can't wait to share my more in-depth thoughts on the books I read in winter. We have strong 5-star-books, books that almost catapulted me into a reading slump, easy-to-consume manga and historical dramas in the mix. AND on top of that I also wanted to chat a bit about my recent

Welcome to the 'Child of the Library' podcast?! More likely welcome BACK! I know it has been a while, but let's return with a banger. First of all, it was really fun to record this episode during our holiday in Greece. I had my little traveling microphone with me that I had used for my first two episodes. And it was very rewarding to go to the beach afterwards, haha. But please excuse any background noise made by playing children or hard-working cleaning staff. And sorry for the spiking in the

Yet again I was reminded why it is important to read. You sometimes stumble upon works of literature that just touch you, make you reflect and you never would have thought it would have the impact it had beforehand. 'Kim Jiyoung, born 1982' was one of these books for me. I loved it and can wholeheartedly recommend it. Go check it out!

2022/03/06

Hey guys, 'Bridgerton' took the world by storm when Netflix decided to adapt its first book 'The Duke and I'. So I was very keen to make up my own mind about what I think of the 8 book series and its screen adaptation. While Netflix decided to intentionally do a few things differently, I will also dive deep into what I liked and maybe found a bit problematic with the book source material. I hope you enjoy this episode, because I clearly had a lot of fun with! My Goodreads:
