The Black Dahlia – James Ellroy

On August 4, 2016July 29, 2016 By bookskepticIn Reviews2 Comments

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 …

July round-up

On August 2, 2016October 30, 2016 By bookskepticIn Thoughts2 Comments

July just flew by, I still struggle to focus on anything for more than 15 minutes at a time (still fighting not to read news so much), so I'm a bit behind with 20 Books of Summer hosted by Cathy at 746books, I finished 11 books, working on the 12th, there's still a month to go so …

Blog Tour Review: Errors of Evaluation – Paola Pica

On July 30, 2016July 29, 2016 By bookskepticIn Reviews3 Comments

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 …

Blog Tour Review: Sugar and Snails – Anne Goodwin

On July 28, 2016July 20, 2016 By bookskepticIn Reviews1 Comment

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, …

Beloved – Toni Morisson

On July 22, 2016April 10, 2020 By bookskepticIn Reviews8 Comments

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 …

June round-up

On July 8, 2016October 30, 2016 By bookskepticIn Thoughts3 Comments

Time for a late round up. June was not great reading wise, I have been busy with other things and trying to spend every second when the sun showed up outside (this is not that many seconds in London). I managed to read only five books, but I liked them all, so that's a good …

Special Topics in Calamity Physics – Marisha Pessl

On June 18, 2016June 25, 2016 By bookskepticIn Reviews10 Comments

To re-read or not to re-read? This is the question we all probably ask ourselves quite often. I have only a few books that I re-read over and over again. This book was not one of them, but Kira at Sorry Television and Cathy at 746books have reminded me about it and how much I enjoyed reading …

May round-up

On May 31, 2016September 2, 2016 By bookskepticIn Thoughts3 Comments

  May was a good month, spring has finally started so I had my first days spent in the park with a book. I'm slowly working my way through all the books I have, no longer on a book buying ban, but still managed to buy less than I read in a month, I'm very …
