Blog Tour Review: Errors of Evaluation – Paola Pica

On July 30, 2016July 29, 2016 By bookskepticIn Reviews3 Comments

Let me start with the physical side of this book. I was very pleasantly surprised when I got it, because it is one of those rare cases of a paperback printed on a very nice paper. It was a pleasure to touch and read. The book is divided into four parts, first three are narrated …

Beloved – Toni Morisson

On July 22, 2016April 10, 2020 By bookskepticIn Reviews8 Comments

March round-up

On March 31, 2016September 2, 2016 By bookskepticIn Thoughts6 Comments

I cannot believe it's almost April! Somehow it still feels like the beginning of the year, maybe because I didn't have many resolutions I could break as time passed. March has been full of travels for me, so I didn't have much as time for reading or blogging as I'd like. I love travelling so no …
