Purezento – Joanna Bator

On April 4, 2018April 4, 2018 By bookskepticIn Reviews1 Comment

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 …

March round-up

On April 1, 2018May 28, 2018 By bookskepticIn Thoughts2 Comments

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 …

Books I acquired over Christmas

On January 13, 2018May 5, 2019 By bookskepticIn Thoughts2 Comments

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 …

Rok Królika – Joanna Bator

On May 22, 2017April 1, 2018 By bookskepticIn Reviews2 Comments

I had such high hopes about this book, that I guess, some disappointment was certain. I got hooked on Bator few years ago after reading Ciemno, prawie Noc and Chmurdalia. Earlier this year I read The Teardrop Island, a literary travel memoir from her trip to Sri Lanka, which, despite horrible reviews it got, I quite liked. Rok Królika …

April round-up

On May 1, 2017June 4, 2017 By bookskepticIn ThoughtsLeave a comment

April didn't necessarily bring spring to London, but it certainly did to Madrid, where I spent a wonderful weekend. Reading-wise the month started so well that in the last week I decided to finally tackle It by Stephen King, at almost 1400 pages it is a bit intimidating book. Luckily I have it on my Kindle, …

Wyspa Łza – Joanna Bator

On February 18, 2017April 1, 2018 By bookskepticIn Reviews3 Comments

I mentioned in one of my previous posts why I rarely review Polish books I read, but this may change a bit in the next few posts because majority of the books I read in January was in Polish and they are worth sharing, so I have no other choice but to tease you a bit. To make …

January round-up

On February 1, 2017March 26, 2017 By bookskepticIn Thoughts1 Comment

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 …

What I got for Christmas and some plans

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 …
