Literary journey of an office career escapee
How do I start…well, for all that’s fanged and holy, what am I supposed to do now when the last book of the Caldwells’ saga is out and I just finished it? On the one hand, it feels extremely satisfying since the author gave every Caldwell brother and the world she created a well-deserved ending.... Continue Reading →
I love historical fiction. The full volume collections of Jane Austen, Leo Tolstoy, and Jack London are only a few of those nestling on my bookshelves. And they aren’t simply gathering dust; I do reread some of them from time to time. The times long gone always fascinated me. Historical settings described in detail are... Continue Reading →
I loved the previous poetry collection by this author and could not miss the opportunity to read what she has written next. “(mostly) good thoughts” by Elena Carter did not disappoint. The hurricane of emotions swept me off my feet, and there I was, swirling amidst myriads of thoughts, memories, flickers of my inner light,... Continue Reading →
Finally, after crossing the deserts, hiking in the canyons and in the mountains, walking among the mighty sequoias, we arrived at the coast. The first thing we did after unpacking was, of course, heading to see the ocean. It was magnificent! Even though we are used to the vast expanse of water - we live... Continue Reading →

I am beyond happy to share that "The Accidental Cop" has won a silver medal in the 2025 Global Book Awards. It will always remain a very special book for me, no matter how many more I write. I am grateful for all the recognition it has received in the two years since it was... Continue Reading →
I am not going to enter the discussion about AI in general. Whether it is our future or just another stage which will pass by fleetingly, I have no means of knowing. Maybe it will become an integral part of our lives just like mobile phones with their endless apps to assist us in virtually... Continue Reading →
This book celebrates the kind of friendship all of us dream of experiencing and which, if given a chance to experience, we would cherish all through our lives. True friendship, like true love, according to Erich Fromm, is based on care, responsibility, respect, and knowledge. Such a powerful bond goes far deeper than chatting, sharing... Continue Reading →
Just as it happened with each book of the Americana series by Will Tinkham, after finishing “The Teddy & Bara Show”, I immediately wanted to grab the next one and keep on reading. It is a futile endeavour to try to retell the plot. Its structure is so unique, and there is so much more... Continue Reading →
This book pulls you in and doesn’t let go. The author has a magical component that she adds to her writing, which makes you live the characters’ lives rather than simply read about them. “Sky Watcher: A Shadow in Time” by Heather Lynn is a story about Charlotte. At twenty-two, her life has thrown too... Continue Reading →
