Let's take a look at another victim of my Cyprus crime/thriller reading spree. Earlier I read The Winner by David Baldacci, Camino Island by John Grisham, Run Away by Harlan Coben and Agent Running in the Field by John le Carré. Now it’s time to go back to Grisham and this time in a setting …
Another victim of my Cyprus holiday streak of crime/thriller reading. The first one was The Winner by David Baldacci. I've mentioned a few times already that John Grisham is one of those writers who I fall back on if in need of a decent, but no too challenging entertainment. He has ups and downs, but …
Yes, I know I am pretty much a month late for the Q3 round-up party. What can I say? The pandemic has messed up with my internal calendar and my brain still thinks it is July, despite the weather trying its best to bring me to reality. Another factor may be that I was lucky …
In the second half of August I finally managed to get from the UK back to my family home in Poland. For a well deserved two weeks of holidays. With my mum we decided to lazy in our lovely house, instead of risking going anywhere. As it was vacation it was also time for lighter …

For the first time in my life, I felt like something other than a young person. I was thirty-two, but in the last seven years I had worked more than most people do in twenty. I was tired, not old but bearing down hard on middle age, and I admitted that I was no longer …
I cannot pretend anymore that it's still summer. The time has come when I wake up before sunrise and that makes it official for me - autumn is upon us! Being in Spain for the last two weeks of September helped to sustain the illusion that summer is not over, but the UK kindly welcomed …
I hope you all had wonderful Christmas, that you managed to find time to relax, breathe and think, but also to be, fully consciously be, with your family and with yourselves. I have a feeling I'm late to the party on this one, or at least cutting it very fine, but here's my list of …
I mentioned several times before that when I need decent entertainment I have few authors I turn to and John Grisham is one of them. His books are reliable, some better, some worse, but all meet a certain standard. This time with The Rainmaker I struck gold, it was a fantastic book. Our protagonist is a …
I read this after finishing the awful A Family Affair, because I needed something light, but not stupid or horrible and I remembered Grisham from my early twenties to be dependable in that respect. It was the same this time, while it's not the best Grisham I've read, it was still readable (and didn't include any …
