What I'm reading + NOTD pt. 89


HHhH is a panorama of the Third Reich told through the life of one outstandingly brutal man, a story of unbearable heroism and loyalty, revenge and betrayal. It is a moving and shattering work of fiction. 

Two men have been enlisted to kill the head of the Gestapo. This is Operation Anthropoid, Prague, 1942: two Czechoslovakian parachutists sent on a daring mission by London to assassinate Reinhard Heydrich - chief of the Nazi secret services, 'the hangman of Prague', 'the blond beast', 'the most dangerous man in the Third Reich'. His boss is Heinrich Himmler but everyone in the SS says, 'Himmler's brain is called Heydrich', which in German spells HHhH. 

Lately I've been reading a lot of novels that are set during World War II and in some cases, like with the book HHhH, I came to a realisation, that I really know nothing. I shouldn't be so poor in contemporary history, I also had a subject at the university, but there are just some themes, that I don't know nothing about. Like the Operation Anthropoid for example. So HHhH is not just a brilliant novel, but it serves also for broadening the horizon. 


On my nails I have an old polish from Essence with the name Fateful desire. The colour is beautiful, but the application not so much. Most of my older polishes are ok, but this one became goopey, as you can also see from the terrible application (you can also spot my chopped nail), so I think now is the time to buy a new polish in this colour. Just your typical deep red, that is on the cooler side. 


Have a great day!

The gift


So what could be the perfect gift if you like make up, books and history? Book Facepaint by Lisa Eldridge could be one of them. 

I haven't read it yet, so I can't tell you about the content, all I can tell you now is that's really a pretty book :)


Thanks again to my sister for this birthday gift.

Have a great day :)
