Literary journey of an office career escapee
What a remarkable lady was Clementine Churchill! Here, I guess I am supposed to add ‘and not because she was married to Winston Churchill.’ But, even risking causing the wrath of strong and independent women of today, I won’t do that.

A beginning and a continuation at the same time. That’s how reading this author’s newest release felt like to me. Having read all Lubov Leonova’s novels set in the magical setting of the land inhabited by mages and the Incapables – people without magic powers – it was gratifying to learn about the fates of the characters...

And that, in turn, transforms a book into... Continue Reading →

Thanks to the author’s immaculate skill, each story fuels my desire to learn more about the diverse set of characters he created. On the pages of this... Continue Reading →
Well, something doesn’t feel right here. Just a short time ago, I declared the previous book that I’d read in the Americana series to be my absolute all-time favourite. And now I loved the one I’ve just finished so much, racing through its pages like a horse set on winning Royal Ascot, laughing and crying... Continue Reading →
Reading this book was painful. I felt sad and angry. At some point, all the negativity so overwhelmed me that I almost decided not to finish. And it says something, for very seldom do I not finish my reads. The reason wasn’t that I condemn addiction and don’t believe that it is a disease. The... Continue Reading →
