Private Chef, Writer & Podcaster
Struggling with the translation and overstuffed details in Last Train to Istanbul, I gave it an honest shot—but tapped out by page 38. Here’s my take on why this historical fiction novel just didn’t work for me (and what might make it better).
As a chef, writer, and lifelong bookworm living with chronic illness, I’ve discovered that my Kindle isn’t just a gadget—it’s freedom. Between hospital visits, late-night writing sessions, and lazy Sundays with my pets, it lets me carry an entire library in my pocket without the weight or the guilt of unread stacks. Here’s why I’ll always choose my Kindle over physical books and why e-readers might be the best invention since espresso.
