Literary journey of an office career escapee
The words that came first to my mind when I started writing a review of Tina Turner’s autobiography “My Love Story” – simply the best. I know it’s incredibly lame and exactly what can be expected when discussing the queen of rock & roll. But Tina Turner was so extraordinary, with her volcanic energy that... Continue Reading →
I have mixed emotions after reading this book. I did enjoy it. Mariah Carey does what she promises at the beginning of her memoir: she tells her story as she has lived it. She shares, I believe, honestly, how different situations and different people in her life made her feel and what she was thinking... Continue Reading →
Last year, I visited the Kon-Tiki Museum in Oslo, Norway. Despite having visited the Nordic capital many times since my very first visit back in 2001, for some reason I had never ventured to the so-called ‘museum island.’ I am glad that travelling with my family forced me to look for the entertainment opportunities my...

This book was a perfect comfort read I needed to take my mind off too many things I have to deal with at the moment. I enjoyed the sweet love story and the small-town setting. I am not a fan of books or movies with writers as main characters, but this time, it didn’t bother... Continue Reading →
In the middle of a self-inflicted break from writing, this book is exactly what I need to keep my creative spark crackling. “Let's Write a Six-Word Story or a Poem” by M.A. Quigley is a wonderful source of inspiration for everyone for whom words are the way of expressing themselves. I like the method the... Continue Reading →
One book separates me from a sort of a milestone. When I finish the book I am currently reading, I’ll have read 150 books by indie authors or published by small press. It has been an amazing journey, which I don’t plan to stop. A few years ago, I found that I didn’t feel the... Continue Reading →
“The 31 Days of May” by Helen Aitchison is about grief and hope, the two sides of an intricate coin we call life. It is going to be challenging to share my impressions about this book without giving away any spoilers, but I will try. May is twenty-four. She isn’t the most sociable person, and she struggles...

Have you found the books to read in May? Here are some suggestions from me. Three different books tackling different themes. I have read more than one book by Julette Caron and Susan Cochran, and I plan to read more of Sheila Fowler's as well. “Niagara Falling” by Sheila Fowler is a perfect combination of...

Are you ready for a wonderfully disturbing and spine-tingling reading experience – for some, probably to the extreme? If so, don’t hesitate to grab book two of the Banished series by T.R. Hamby after finishing book one. “Queen of the Immortals” picks up right where book one “King of the Wicked” ended in a massive cliffhanger.... Continue Reading →
I like books that have the elusive quality of lulling you into the story. You can’t explain it with logic. The inexplicable pull is just there, and you fall under its spell. “The Unexpected Queen” by A.R. Kaufer had this quality for me. Once I started reading it, it felt as if gently rocking waves...
