I am still very diligently preparing for my vacation in Spain in September, you will notice that over the last few weeks books based in Spain or about Spain seem to be a bit of a theme. This book is yet another step on my journey to understand the complex country that Spain is. Jan …
This was one of the gifts my dear mum got me when she came to visit coincidentally close to International Children's Day, the funny thing was that she bought it at the airport because she actually wants to read it herself. No pressure... but read and review faster, dear child 😉 It will be a …

So an entire coastal gastronomic tradition, it could be argued, stems from that once widespread English trait, unadventurous eating. George Orwell once wrote that it was usually in the most blissful circumstances - Sunday afternoons on the sofa, a belly full of roast dinner with a pipe of shag on the go - that the …

Finally a book that I did not buy in Stanford's! This one I bought when my mum visited me in London and we went for The Great British Seaside photography exhibition in the Maritime Museum in Greenwich. It was really great fun, with photographs by Tony Ray-Jones, David Hurn and Simon Roberts and Martin Parr, it …

Another one from the Stanford's book haul, out of eight I already read six books (two more review will be coming up), so I promise not much more left. It is also another book I bought in preparation for my Spanish vacation in September, as is quite obvious from the title one of the cities …
It is yet another book that I bought on my crazy shopping spree at Stanford's, one thing I must say I am making my way though this book haul, slowly but surely. The reason I bought this book is that I am going to Valencia in September for the first time. Spain for few years …
My 20 Books of Summer challenge this year began with a false start for two reasons: I'm publishing my first review at the end of June, so a month late (backlog of previous read books got in the way), and I did not finish my first book. Maybe it is because in my May round-up …
May has been very gracious with the weather, it feels like from early spring we jumped right into summer and I am not going to complain about this. I love the sun and the warmth and I really hope it'll stay this way for another few months. What I cannot believe is that only 3 …
My last, long overdue review from #20booksofsummer. It is an interview with the author of Snow White and Russian Red, Dorota Masłowska. I bought it out of curiosity, Masłowska is my age, she had her breakthrough as a writer quite early on and I was curious how she felt ten years later (the interview was …

It took me a while to review this book. I could not make up my mind about it, to be honest, I still cannot, but I've been procrastinating for so long that finally I decided to start writing and see what happens. The first book by Atwood I read was Lady Oracle, when I was in …
