My autumn reading list


I think we can all agree that autumn is the season of warm tea, blankets and books. At least for me it is. There’s nothing that I’d wait more that to cuddle with a blanket after a long, crisp fall day. I’d usually burn my scented candles, make myself a huge mug of tea and binge read crime stories or thrillers. Therefore I put up a list of my recommendation for you 😉
1.     Jakub Żulczyk, Wzgórze psów
Although it may not be the model example of a crime story, you can still sent the dreadful atmosphere. There’s an unsolved murder from the past, complicated family relationships, an author is search of inspiration and mysterious disappearance. The main character is a writer, who succeeded in the past by writing a bestseller about his hometown in which he exposed all its pathologies. Ever since he had troubles with drugs and lack of inspiration, his marriage is in a crisis and he’s so broke that he has to come back home and confront his father and all the unsolved issues from his past.

2.     Flynn Gillian, Sharp Objects
You might have heard this name recently due to success of  HBO’s adaptation of the book. But if you haven’t: it’s a story of a journalist that after many years comes back to her home town to write about mysterious disappearances of two young girls. She has to figure out what happened to them, while confronting her own demons from the past.

3.     B.A. Paris, Behind closed doors
Jack and Grace seem to be a perfect couple, basically inseparable. They have a beautiful house, they are young, wealthy and attractive. On the surface it doesn’t appear that something might be wrong with them. But the truth is far from this impression. What is the secret that they hide? You have to read the book to find out 😊

Must read

Hi, guys! How's life? What have you been up to? If you by any chance found out how to be a productive person, please make sure to let me know, cause I'm still having difficulties with adopting to the fact that the academic year has officially begun. I, personally, have spent most of my summer reading crime stories and I just must admit that there's one, in particular, I enjoyed. Have you ever heard the name A.J. Finn? No? OK, so you have to change it, cause I can assure you, it'd be worth it. The book is called The Woman in the window . Anna Fox, the main protagonist,  is a middle-aged woman, living on her own in the beautiful house in the suburbs. She spends most of her days drinking wine and watching people. Yes, she's literally spying on her neighbours. And there wouldn't be anything interesting about that, were it not for the discovery she's about to make. The key word in describing this book would be: the truth. While reading it, we have the...

Larry the bird

We all know what Twitter is and most of us either used or uses it. We all associate the little blue bird in the logo but does everyone know that it has a name? Cause it has and its name is Larry. The little guy may have been named after former NBA player, Larry Bird, who played for Twitter co-founder Biz Stone’s home-state team, the Boston Celtics. Larry’s name was confirmed by Twitter in a tweet made in 2011. Moreover the social networking company’s former creative director, Doug Bowman, said in a 2012 announcement that Larry is resembling a mountain bluebird with a dash of hummingbird thrown in and that the Twitter bird has a beak and body that point toward the sky in what Bowman called “the ultimate representation of freedom, hope and limitless possibility.”
