However, we often discover the best things when we leave our comfort zone. For me, poetry is … More Atticus – Love Her Wild
The Book Thief. The Messenger. The Underdog. When Dogs Cry. Fighting Ruben Wolfe. Yes, all of these are titles of books and all of them have the same author, Markus Zusak.

The International Film Festival in Karlovy Vary. KVIFF. I believe that most people have heard of this film event. At least everyone in the Czech Republic and many people abroad. Maybe it’s because that since it has been led by an actor Jiří Bartoška and Eva Zaoralová, it became one of the A category festivals, … More PHOTO DIARY: KVIFF 2018

I moved to Derby more than 2 months ago so I had plenty of time to discover local bookshops. To be honest, I found most of these places during the last month but it does not change anything about the fact that I have already bought more than 5 books there. I really love these … More The best places for readers in Derby
