Daunt Books – 12 bookshops for 12 months – February

On February 17, 2018May 5, 2019 By bookskepticIn Thoughts9 Comments

This is very surprising, the second month and I managed to stick to my new year's resolution! I visited the second bookshop on my list - Daunt Books. I left work a bit earlier to be able to go to Marylebone on my way to the airport (weekend at home). It's been ages since I've …

January round-up

On February 1, 2018May 5, 2019 By bookskepticIn ThoughtsLeave a comment

I'm happy that January is over, as now I only have one more month of darkness to survive! January went quite quickly and despite the lack of sun relatively painlessly (especially if you consider that it is traditionally one of the two worst months in a year for me). Reading-wise it was not a bad …

On January 16, 2017January 8, 2017 By bookskepticIn Thoughts8 Comments

I know it's already mid-January and I even remember to write 2017 when I write down the date, but I just realized I still haven't shared with you my lovely Christmas gifts book haul, so here we go. As I made it public knowledge that I need to read more in Polish, almost all my …

Fighting for human rights – #AmnestyBookSale

On November 21, 2016November 20, 2016 By bookskepticIn Thoughts6 Comments

This was probably the most pleasant way of supporting the human rights cause - Amnesty International organized a book sale close to where I live and I happily took part. But after going there I decided I haven't spent my allowance, so I also went to Oxfam and to my local used books store, that …
