It is always difficult to share your thoughts about classics. Especially when you’ve struggled with some aspects of the book. At least this is the way it is for me. I don’t think my critical opinion holds any value on a global scale. Legendary books will be read irrespective of my subjective impressions. Still, on... Continue Reading →
“A Canoer of Shorelines” by Anne M. Smith-Nochasak
This is the kind of book that makes the reader think. Not only about the story it tells on its pages, but also about your own experiences.

“A Mother’s Loss” by Caroline Rebisz
The story of two women divided by time totally pulled me in. “A Mother’s Loss” by Caroline Rebisz is a beautiful, but also heart-breaking, story of how it feels to go through the most painful loss a woman can experience.

Reasons why you should give indie books a try
In May 2022 I posted about the first 50 indie books I read. I am happy to announce that since then, this number has grown. Eight months later I can add 31 indie books to my list. So, 81 indie (or published by small press) books later, I’m not ashamed to confess that I’m even... Continue Reading →

But it absolutely won’t do to leave “Calixta” without a proper review. The intense, imaginative, gut-searing, and thought-provoking story... Continue Reading →
