I’ve just finished reading Profesor Wilczur by Tadeusz Dołęga-Mostowicz (in Polish). It’s a sequel to Znachor, the book I read in September and I really enjoyed this story!
I think, these are the kinds of books that everyone should read. Highly recommended!

My second hand book haul from today. ❤️ Books in English! 🇬🇧 🇺🇲
🔹The Light Fantastic by Terry Pratchett. An interesting comic fantasy novel.
🔹Agent of Byzantium by Harry Turtledove. Alternate history, fantasy and more!
Эдвард Станиславович, спасибо за Ваш труд!
Страшная книга! Отлично написанная, но очень тяжелая. Из числа тех, которые сначала долго читаешь, а потом долго обдумываешь прочитанное.
Здесь не только жизнь и судьба Сталина. Здесь вся Россия с начала XX века. Люди, судьбы. Жизнь и смерть…

Thank you, author, for such an excellent book! This was a long, tough and very important read.
This book really opened my eyes to much more I had known not only about Stalin but also about the history of Russia in the first half of the twentieth century.
I finished reading this book some days ago but I’m still thinking about it. Highly recommend!
El secreto de Lena (Lena’s Secret) by Michael Ende. Book in Spanish. ❤️🇪🇸
Un libro muy interesante que he leído recientemente y me ha gustado mucho. 👍
I’d like to read these books someday:
Treasures of Morrow by H. M. Hoover (1976)
The Delikon by H. M. Hoover (1978)
Away Is a Strange Place to Be by H. M. Hoover (1990)
Прочитала When the Ashes Fall by Jacqueline Druga. Сначала было очень интересно, но потом интерес начал угасать и дочитывала до конца уже без особого энтузиазма. Хорошая книга, но я ожидала бОльшего.
Выписала только две фразы:
T-bone = broadside (collision) = врезаться в бок автомобиля;
jack = самая малость, чуточка (You know jack…).
3 interesting books I’m reading this October:
When the Ashes Fall by Jacqueline Druga (in English) 🇺🇲
Profesor Wilczur by Tadeusz Dołęga-Mostowicz (in Polish) 🇵🇱
Сталин. Жизнь и смерть by Edvard Radzinsky (in Russian) 🇷🇺
Впервые в жизни прочитала “Собачье сердце” Михаила Булгакова. Много раз смотрела фильм, но до книги добралась только сейчас.
Замечательная повесть! Вроде небольшая, а с разбегу не проглотишь. Переворачиваешь последнюю страницу и хочется просто посидеть тихонечко, помолчать…
Цитата из книги:
“Never commit a crime against anybody whatsoever. Live to old age with clean hands.“
– Mikhail Bulgakov, Heart of a Dog
I’ve just finished reading Znachor (Znachor #1) by Tadeusz Dołęga-Mostowicz (in Polish).
I really loved this book! Actually, it’s one of the best classic books I’ve ever read! Well-written, deep and very emotional story that gripped me from the very first page and didn’t let go until the end. Amazing, absolutely amazing! Highly recommended! ❤️

I’ve finished reading the seventh and final Harry Potter book in Polish 🇵🇱 ❤️ – Harry Potter i Insygnia Śmierci (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows).
The Polish version was really good! I thoroughly enjoyed the story and I learned a lot from the book. 👍
