My relationship with non-fiction books is ... complicated, especially with the self-development ones. While I acknowledge their potential usefulness, I miss the plot twists that I enjoy so much in fiction books. However, from time to time I find a self-development book I actually like reading - and this is the case with "The Code … Continue reading Book recommendations to upgrade yourself (cc: The Code of the Extraordinary Mind by V.

I'm part of the generation who grew up with J.K. Rowling's stories from Hogwarts. I was about 7 years old when I read the first Harry Potter book and I was graduating high school when last Harry Potter movie was released. Ever since I heard that J.K. Rowling wrote also other books I wanted to … Continue reading A Casual Vacancy by J.K. Rowling (book review) – political struggles and social issues in a small British town
Three blind mice ...See how they run ... It seems that each play I see by Agatha Christie features a creepy song, and "The Mousetrap" was no exception. After almost 1 year from seeing "And Then There Were None" by Agatha Christie, I did it again 🙂 Of course, I went to the play without … Continue reading Theatre review: The Mousetrap by Agatha Christie

After reading "Never Let Me Go" by Kazuo Ishiguro, a book that became one of my favourites, I knew I have to read more books by the same author. So I randomly picked up "The Remains of the Day" from a lovely bookstore in Cambridge ... and it did not disappoint!
"Becoming" my Michelle Obama was another book I received this summer, along with other 17 books (the joy! <3). This book was the most surprising one to receive, as I had already strong plans to read it (meaning that I had borrowed it from Bookster just 1 week before actually receiving my own copy). It goes without saying that I read my own book, which also had a lovely wish written on it ❤
During this summer I was so fortunate to receive 18 books (as a surprise!) from dear friends of mine ❤ Fiction stories, memoirs, personal development books - a wonderful mix that will keep me busy (at least) for the rest of the year. One of these books was "Educated" by Tara Westover, an incredible story that immediately caught my attention.
I am back in business! Book blogging business, I mean 🙂 Today's review is about a book I randomly chose this book while browsing Bookster’s digital shelves.
As one of my favourite childhood books was "The Legends of Olympus" - a collection of stories about the gods and heroes of Greek myths - it's no wonder I was very keen on reading "The Song of Achilles". It was also very convenient that I was able to borrow the book from Bookster.
As someone who did not enjoy learning about history at school, I find myself surprisingly intrigued by historical fiction books. When I saw "The Tattooist at Auschwitz" on the shelves of Nautilus bookstore, I bought it immediately and read it only few days after.
