Recenzia: Kráľovstvo podvodníkov - Leigh Bardugo

21/11/22Tentoraz sa nekonalo žiadne „pomalé dostávanie sa do toho“.Postavy som poznala a milovala, a tak som sa nedočkavo ponorila do ďalšej knihy. Akcia v nej bola opäť neustála, plánovanie tiež, vždy sa to posúvalo k nejakému novému plánu, k novému zoznamu vecí, ktoré treba urobiť a ktoré sa môžu pokaziť. Musím povedať, že čítanie tejto knihy nemusí byť zdravé pre úzkostlivých ľudí - ja zvyčajne...

Review: Crooked Kingdom - Leigh Bardugo

21/11/22This time, there was no “slowly getting into it”. I knew the characters, I loved them and I eagerly jumped back in. Once again, the action was contant, the planning was constant, always moving to a new plan, to a new list of things that need to be done and where any of them can go wrong. I have to say, reading this book may not even be healthy for anxious people - I'm not usually anxious...

Recenzia: Vrania Šestka - Leigh Bardugo

13/11/22 Kedysi som bola na fantasy závislá - ponárať sa do fiktívnych svetov bola moja posadnutosť (a často aj nevyhnutnosť na prežitie reality). Potom sa udial život a čas a veci a už na to nebolo toľko priestoru. Ale moja láska k tomuto žánru zostala silná a tak sa zoznam fantasy kníh “na prečítanie” neustále predlžoval a teraz je ich toľko, že by som sa z toho mohla rozplakať. No namiesto...

Review: Six of Crows - Leigh Bardugo

13/11/22 I used to be a fantasy junkie - diving into fictional worlds was my obsession (and often necessity to survive reality). Then life and time and stuff happened and there was not so much space for it anymore. But my love for it was still strong and so the “tbr” list of fantasy books was getting longer and longer and now there are so many of them, that I may go crazy. But instead, I finally...

Review: Hear the Wind Sing - Haruki Murakami

12/01/23This was a re-read for me and everything else apart, the main thing why I come back to Murakami over and over again is that certain feeling that you get from his work. It's the same one I often feel in life as well, but it's hard to name it or even catch it sometimes. But it's always there waiting in his books and even if they have issues or are (like here) less good than some others of his,...

Recenzia: Počúvaj pieseň vetra - Haruki Murakami

12/01/23Táto kniha pre mňa bola re-reading a odhliadnuc od všetkého ostatného, hlavná vec, prečo sa k Murakamimu vraciam znova a znova, je určitý pocit, ktorý v jeho dielach nachádzam. Je to ten istý, ktorý často cítim aj v živote, ale je ťažké ho pomenovať a niekedy aj zachytiť. Ale v jeho knihách na mňa vždy čaká, aj keď nie sú dokonalé alebo sú (ako tu) menej dobré ako niektoré iné jeho diela,...

Review: To the Lighthouse - Virginia Woolf

05/12/22The first thing that will come to my mind every time when I'll be thinking about this book will be: black tea and heartache. I drank an unhealthy amount of it, while drifting through people's minds and both the tea and the thoughts often left a pleasant, but bitter aftertaste. This is no easy book to read. It was my first experience with Virginia and her writing and I don't know what...
