Literary journey of an office career escapee
It’s not my usual reading style to start reading from the last page of the book, neither do I have a habit to begin reading series from the final instalment. Still, I don’t regret that my acquaintance with Lady Ellen has started in this manner. First, I felt more intrigued while trying to untangle the... Continue Reading →
School wasn’t nice. There wasn’t anything particularly horrible about it. Except for a few dark episodes, not connected with the school itself but with people’s inability to handle global changes in a decent manner, it was okay. The problem was that I just wasn’t there. I don’t mean physically. There was a short period of... Continue Reading →
“God of Nothing” by Shane Scott is one of the best books I read last year. That’s why I was waiting impatiently for the author to publish the next story set in the magnificent and awe-inspiring universe of the ALL. Although “Faith” is a novella, and it certainly left me craving for more, the author... Continue Reading →
I have an issue with trains. It’s not that I don’t like them. The thing is that I had spent too much time in them. Every day, for nine years, I took a train to get to school and then back from it. Besides, it took about twenty minutes to walk from the station to... Continue Reading →

“The Copper Beech” is the ninth Maeve Binchy book I’ve read so far. And now it shares the number one place with “The Glass Lake” on the list of my favourites. Maeve Binchy writes about life in a way that makes you believe in miracles again. Not in the once-in-a-lifetime kind of miracles that happen... Continue Reading →
The sweetest word for a writer – “the end”. I typed it today, and, honestly, the emotions that filled me were incredible. I felt joy, energy, and drive. I felt that if I could do that – write a book – I am capable of doing absolutely anything. And that wasn’t the first book I’ve... Continue Reading →
Indie authors are tough. Indie authors have grown a natural armour. Indie authors are immune to criticism attacks – those at least who have stepped over the shock of publishing the first book and went on publishing more. Indie authors are used to many things that are hurtful, disappointing, and generally soul-destroying. There is one... Continue Reading →
Few things can make an indie author happier than a glowing review. I am not saying that famous and bestselling writers don’t care when they receive praise for their books, but still, I’ll allow myself the boldness to assume that there is a certain difference. Moreover, when the review comes from someone you admire, the... Continue Reading →
“Only Sometimes” by Felicia Blaedel is an incredibly warm and intense story of two people in search of equilibrium among the turbulent sea of life. While it has all the elements of a true love story that will please romance readers, it also offers a deep insight into its characters’ personalities. I liked Niko so... Continue Reading →
