2017 was a year of a book-buying-ban. It didn't work that well, I had few bouts of buying books (here, here, here and here), altogether I bought 18 books, I got some as gifts, probably more than I bought, but then I also read 90 books last year, so I did make my TBR smaller. …
I'm sure all of you are super busy preparing for the Christmas celebrations, but if you found a second to do some blog reading I wanted to wish you Merry Christmas! Wishing you calm, lovely and warm time, time to read, time to focus and think, but also time to relax and have fun. Enjoy …
I happen to have birthday ten days before Christmas Eve, which as it appears is perfect, as I get to get presents twice in December. My dear friends and family recognising that ten days difference is too much to allow for bundling the birthday presents and Christmas presents into one. I have been shamelessly exploiting …
I was in my family home last weekend and in Poland we celebrate St. Nicholas Day on the 6th of December. It is in a way a prelude to Christmas madness of gifts, on St. Nicholas Day usually children get sweets. My mom firmly believes in treating me like a child, at least partially, I …
I wrote few weeks ago how I finally caught up with all the reviews, that is now officially in the past, I am three books behind again and surely soon it will be four. This however is a common state of affairs, one may even say it was highly unusual to be caught up with …

I'm reading now White Teeth by Zadie Smith, so it will probably take a while and all of the past reviews have been written and scheduled to be published over the coming week, so unless suddenly I somehow make more time for reading there …

This was unexpected, but the unexpected sometimes happens and it's not always a bad thing. I officially completed my #20booksofsummer reading on Saturday, more than a month early. Last year I struggled a lot more to finish on time, so what was different this year? No teeth problems to start with, not that those months …
Last week I came back from my vacation, the weather was not perfect, but I managed to really relax and read a lot (I'm now reading book #19 of #20booksofsummer). Once my brain rested a bit, it also got hungry for buying new books and, as you all know, I am still trying to stick …
