> January Books <
→ Robert Ziębiński "Wspaniałe Życie" (in English the title would be: Wonderful Life)
This was actually my reread. I read it for the first time over a year ago. It's a dark comedy + drama, and when I say dark, it's darker than a black hole. It's about an alcoholic starting his "alcohol free journey".
→ Jane Borodale "The Book of Fires". As goodreads put it "a captivating debut novel of fireworks, fortune, and a young woman's redemption". This is definitely not a book I would usually read, and I bought it only coz I liked the summary at the back cover, coz it legit said nothing about the plot. Now, it's one of my favorite books in the past few years.
> February Books <
→ Robert Browne "The Paradise Prophecy". It's about a "war" between Heavens and Hell, but that's about to take place on Earth, and the main characters (dude who knows hella lots about religions and a detective) are trying to figure out the heck is going on and how to stop it.
→ Pearl S. Buck "The Living Reed". Goodreads: The Living Reed follows four generations of one family, the Kims, beginning with Il-han and his father, both advisors to the royal family in Korea. Honestly, not a book I would usually read so we will see. It was bday present I've got like in high school? So years ago lol
→ Arkady Vaksberg " Łysina Lenina: Wspomnienia Adwokata" (in English the title would be: Lenin's boldness: Memories of the Lawyer). Basically bunch of real court cases that happened in Soviet Union. Either they are suppose to be funny or hella crazy.
→ Bogdan Wojciszke, Marcin Rotkiewicz "Homo nie całkiem sapiens" (in English the title would be: Homo, not quite sapiens). It's an interview styled book. A journalist (Rotkiewicz) talks with social psychologist (Wojcieszke, hella famous polish psychologist) about many social issues like: politics, morality, power and psychological aspects associated with them.
So, to be transparent with you all, I already started reading February picks few days ago, since I finished my January books earlier than expected. + I'm always reading one YA book in English, as a side thing. But it's never "one per month" but rather": read when you are outside (like bus) since it's on my phone. Right now it's Amanda Hocking's "Switched".
