"North and South" is one of the books I knew nothing about before reading it. However, I received it from a very dear friend of mine who is as passionate about books as I am, so I had high expectations from Gaskell's novel. North and South in a nutshell Think of the story like an … Continue reading North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell (book review) – about division and coming together

My history with "The Goldfinch" went through all seasons: somewhere during Winter ❄ I found out about the book, then during Spring 🌸 I waited for it to be delivered from Bookster, during Summer ☀ I read it, and during Autumn I write its review 🍂.
I started reading "Where the Crawdads Sing" with no expectations and I was completely swept off my feet! It got me hooked up from the first pages and I managed to read it in only 2 nights - the classic "one more chapter and then I go to sleep" until 2 AM ...
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
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.
