Last year I read 100 books! I can't believe it myself, but I somehow found the time for all of them! However, I didn't have enough time to also talk about each one of them here and that is quite a shame. Hopefully I will soon do them justice, but, in the meantime, these are the highlights of my year:
If you want to read a beautiful memoir about growing up as a woman in a muslim culture in the 1940s and 1950s, look no further! This is the book for you.
If you love historical fiction set in the First and Second World War, strong, daring, remarkable women who force the society limits, this is the book for you!
Middlemarch is a fascinating read! I wrote about five tips on how to read it so that you can fall in love with it. One of the tips is to read it as it was originally published, in 8 volumes. These appeared almost monthly, throughout an entire year. This is the first article in a series about Middlemarch, discussing each book individually.
These books...These books are so good! I read them and then immediately proceeded in buying whatever else the author had written. I will also buy and read everything else their author wants to write. They are THAT good!
Because of this book, I better understand the struggle of immigrants from other continents trying to enter in European countries today. Just a few years ago Romanians were in the same situation!
If you're looking for a challenging American classic read with beautiful, striking and dark imagery, this is the book for you.
In total, around five hundred thousand Sinti and Roma fell victim to the Nazis' frenzy of racial hatred.
These are wonderful books I was so lucky to stumble upon in my twenties! They influenced me and the way I viewed the world in so many ways...
I read this book because I wanted to learn how to better engage with a text I'm reading, how to better understand it. I also wanted to learn better how to help my son fall in love with literature and reading. This book was great for both!
