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.
