The Last Flight – Julie Clark

Despite the fact that the book is literary fiction, it shows very well the problems faced by women today. In fact, they have probably been struggling ever since, only now it is beginning to get louder about it, which gives them hope and strength to fight. This story shows that if you are mobilized enough, you can fight. The book itself is very addictive, and the ending makes it impossible to break away from it…

The Opposite of Worry: The Playful Parenting Approach to Childhood Anxieties and Fears – Lawrence J. Cohen

“The Opposite of Worry: The Playful Parenting Approach to Childhood Anxieties and Fears” is a book that every parent should probably read – yes, I’ll risk it. And that’s not because there is some secret knowledge in it, whose knowledge will suddenly make us perfect parents. This reading will simply make us reflect on our own reactions to the fear of children, because they can be really different. While reading this book, one wonders, somehow from a vending machine, if he does not underestimate this topic, if he does not mock – even unconsciously – children’s fears, if he shows proper support.

Children of the Days: A Calendar of Human History – Eduardo Galeano

Focusing on forgotten, silent or unnoticed events, the author tries to warn us, the readers, in a way – to say that history does not only happen on the state level and in parliamentary rooms, but also – and perhaps above all – on the streets, in poorer places or at home. “The children of the Days” is not only a reflection on what is painful, but also a collection of many apt, ironic and funny anecdotes, interesting socio-cultural observations, as well as the affirmation of culture and the achievements of our civilization.

Someone is lying – Jenny Blackhurst

I think that “Someone is lying” is a must-have for all lovers of good crime stories. I don’t have to encourage Blackhurst fans to read, because if an author keeps this level in every book, you know you have to read this one too.

Serial Killer Trivia – Michelle Kaminsky

A long awaited review, a very specific book “Serial Killer Trivia”, which describes the shocking events, the atrocities they went to and the tools of the crime they used. Let’s start by asking ourselves who the serial killer is. The answer is quite frightening, since he is usually a normal, seemingly indistinguishable individual. The only feature that distinguishes him (or her) from the rest of the society is his or her scrupulously concealed love to track down his or her victims and then murder them, depending on the “likes” of men, women, children, and even all at once. Terrifying!

Cute Kawaii. Doodles – Sarah Alberto

“Cute Kawaii. Doodles” is a fairly small book, so you can take it with you and on a journey, and to a place where we’ll have to wait in line. Thanks to it and a few crayons we will spend this time nicely, creatively and differently than, for example, playing on the phone or watching movies, which is, after all, a common sight in various types of waiting rooms.

The Silent Patient – Alex Michaelides

“The Silent Patient” simply has everything in the world that is expected from a good psychological thriller. Addictive, unpredictable, surprising. And it’s perfectly written, the pages pass by without even knowing when, the next pieces of the puzzle are thrown to the reader in well-chosen intervals, but practically to the last pages you can’t be sure what the final version of events was.

If You’re Out There – Katy Loutzenhiser

“If You’re Out There” is the story of the struggle for a beautiful friendship. It wasn’t difficult for me to imagine how Zan feels, because I lost a friend too and I know how it hurts and how hard it is to accept reject. I think Katy Loutzenhiser wants to tell her readers that sometimes it is worth fighting for friendship or any other kind of relationship. Especially if she feels that she is special.
