Today I'm sharing a bit about my favourite Sloveni

Today I'm sharing a bit about my favourite Slovenian festival, Floating castle, instead of my usual #erraticbookwednesdays. 👒 The Floating castle festival is an international ethno/folk music and theatre festival, which is essentially an eclectic mix of concerts, art installations, improvisational theatre, interactive shows and other performances. 🏰 Several shows are usually happening at once around the gorgeous Snežnik castle, and all sorts of artists from across the world come to participate. It's truly an experience worth having, with the best possible vibes and community. Obviously, this year was a bit different than usual, but the good vibes were still there. 🧡 Come check out my blog post (link in bio) with some photos from the past 3 years of the festival to give you a feel for it - trust me, you'll want to visit next year. 😎 And, fear not, my book recommendations will be back next week. 📚

Have you ever wondered what Jesus's childhood was

Have you ever wondered what Jesus's childhood was like before he became the famous miracle worker? 🙏 Now, I'm personally not religious, but today's #erraticbookwednesdays recommendation is Lamb: The Gospel according to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal by Christopher Moore. It's a humorous, somewhat absurd book, where Biff is resurrected in the 20th century and ordered to write down his account of the missing years of Jesus's life under the watchful eye of angel Raziel, who has a weakness for chocolate and TV. 📺 While Jesus (or Joshua) displays godlike powers and maturity well beyond his years from the start, Biff is your typical rowdy teenager full of stupid ideas, so the pair get up to all sorts of adventures while Jesus learns to become the Messiah. Even if you are religious, this book is actually not insulting to the figure of Jesus in any way, unless you categorically object to the idea that he might have been a young boy with a crazy best friend once. 🤷‍♀️ In that case, don't read, but otherwise it's a great bit of satirical fun, although there are some swear words in there if you're sensitive to that. 📚

Summer vibes and books! 🍹Last week lounagia wan

Summer vibes and books! 🍹Last week lounagia wanted a silly, light summer read in the comments, and for me it doesn't get much sillier or funnier than Terry Pratchett. So, today's #erraticbookwednesdays recommendation is Wyrd Sisters, one from his Discworld series. 🐢 Featuring three witches trying to put the right king (who is also entirely wrong for it) on the throne, it's one of his best books in my opinion. It also contains one of my favourite literary characters: Granny Weatherwax, a snarky old witch with anger issues. 🧙‍♀️
Pratchett's works never disappoint with their deeper meanings, hilarious characters, ironic social commentary and Easter egg pop culture references in a medieval fantasy setting, but this one goes a step beyond that and is also a satire on classic storytelling and Shakespeare's works. 😅
It will probably have you laughing out loud even if you're generally not into fantasy books. At least I hope so, because I'm a huge geek and I can't help myself. 🤷‍♀️ #noshame

'Granny Weatherwax was not lost. She wasn't the kind of person who ever became lost. It was just that, at the moment, while she knew exactly where SHE was, she didn't know the position of anywhere else.' T. Pratchett - Wyrd Sisters
