film, music and books by carla

This time some recommendations for books, films and music from my wonderful friend carla gröppel-wegener. translator, blogger and pastry chef  (warning: extremly delicious picture, from extremly delicious pastry).

Now, this is really hard for me. I’ve been meaning to make a list of my recommendations for weeks, but could not decide on what to put down. So many great books/music/films I want to share with you and read/listen to/watch again… So finally I decided just to randomly take five examples each from my all time favourites. My choice yesterday might have been different and tomorrow I most probably would take a different pick. Depends on ones mood, I guess. Anyway. I hope you’ll enjoy these! – carla
