This is my third review of Bator's book on this blog, the two before were Wyspa Łza and Rok Królika, if you'd like to take a look. I mentioned before that I fell in love with Bator's writing after reading Ciemno, prawie noc/Dunkel, fast Nacht few years ago (before I started this blog). Since then …
The first quarter is gone, but I have exactly the same feeling as I had last year, that the year only just started. I hope I will shake that feeling off once the spring finally comes. Officially it is here, but I think no one told the weather. It was an average month reading-wise, I …
I already shared all the books I received and bought in 2017, apart from the Christmas ones, so here we are. I had to resort to a very 'corporate' verb acquired, as I failed yet again and bought three books in December. I do not regret this, I'm sure those will be amazing reads. What …

Last January I managed to read 10 books, a lot more than I read on a typical month. Did I start this year with a similar bang? Yes and no. I did read 12 books and liked all of them, but on blogging front it was a bit quiet, because of my new job, also …
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 …
