I guess the story of Black Dahlia is pretty well known, so I'll skip the summary, for those interested here is the link to the source of all knowledge 😉 Dwight 'Bucky' Bleichert narrates this story and for me the most grabbing part is not the story of Black Dahlia murder, but the story of …
Let me start with the physical side of this book. I was very pleasantly surprised when I got it, because it is one of those rare cases of a paperback printed on a very nice paper. It was a pleasure to touch and read. The book is divided into four parts, first three are narrated …

This is a year of 'firsts' for sure. Welcome to my first blog tour post. The main character of Sugar and Snails is Diana, she is an academic psychologist and has a secret. Her life dramatically changed as a result of a decision she made when she was 15. We meet Diana when her boyfriend, …

I bought this book during my ‘innocent’ Sunday bookshopping spree few months ago, inspired by great review by The Reading Bug. Before I start the review let me explain one thing I am European, which means that bulk of my modern history education focused on WWII and the atrocities that happened then. Which I must …
This book will not count towards my 20 books of summer because I finished it at the end of May. Last few weeks have been pretty  busy, so I had to choose between reading and writing and reading won. The main character and narrator of this book is Stevens, a butler at Darlington Hall, that has …

I think I first read about this book on Simon's blog back in December. I could not buy it for a while because of my book-buying-ban, so I only got it at the beginning of May, shortly before Man Booker Prize 2016 was announced. However, I didn't read the book until after the announcement. Let …
I read the Notes from a Small Island years ago. Years before I ever set foot in UK, or even had the plan to do so, and I'm sure this book partially formed my ideas about Britain. I remember I enjoyed it a lot and laughed out loud numerous times while reading it. Because of that …
I only know Kate Atkinson’s Life After Life that I read two years ago and enjoyed a lot. This is why when I saw beautiful hardback edition of Not The end of the World in a charity shop I couldn’t help myself and got it. It’s a collection of twelve short stories, they are separate …
The full title of this book is one of the longest ones  I've seen (not counting academic books of course), so I had to cut it down a bit in the post title, here is the whole thing: Stuff Matters: The Strange Stories of the Marvellous Materials that Shape Our Man-made World. I don't read many …
