Never Turn The Lights Off

It is wonderful how certain book can affect mood, mind or even personality. And how much effort one needs to put when choosing what to read. Most of the time book reflects how person is feeling at certain time, what is going through person's mind.  When I started this blog I chose to read more books in English because I thought that this will help me to get more people checking my blog. For couple of months I was really happy with my blog and that I am able to read in foreign language. However, my collection of English books is very small, mostly crime novels and that is deffinitely not my favorite genre. So, naturally, I got bored, I stopped reading and writing posts. Then later, I started to feel empty without spending my evenings with book in my hands. I thought, there is no better way to bring back my love for reading, than to start one of Stephen King's books. After all, he is one of my favorite authors. For some time that was enough, but spring came, nature woke u...

Classic books are one of the greatest books ever. They are the ones which hides the biggest amount of truths about life, from these kind of books we can learn so much, especially about what is truly valuable in our lives. Sadly, not every reader can take lesson from these books. However, I'm the one to whom classic books had a huge impact. Some of my favorites are written by authors who are the part of The Lost Generation . The term was coined by Gertrude Stein and it describes generation that came of age during World War I. The Lost Generation was a group of writers and artists, including many expatriates, who helped define a larger, modernist movement after World War I. People of this generation are viewed, as a result of their war experiences , as cynical, disillusioned, and without cultural or emotional stability. Writers of this generation put their experiences, thoughts and feelings into a wonderful books. The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald F...

I believe we all have days which we spend procrastinating. This is exactly how I spent my weekend and now I have so much to do but I'm completely running out of time.

 R - Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare This is definitely not my favorite work of Shakespeare but some other of his tragedies I really enjoyed reading. Of course I did it in Lithuanian but I hope that one day I'll be able to read it in English and I'll understand everything that he wanted to say. K - Keeping the Dead by Tess Gerritsen I haven't read this book but this is in my TBR list, because this book is from Maura Isles/Jane Rizzoli series. Recently...

World is full of all kind of books: big, small, old, new, paperback or hardback. Even though we all know the saying ''don't judge a book by its cover'' , we still very often buy book because of its look, size or recommendations. Of course we all have different preferences. However, I can't understand when people say that the bigger the book, the better it's going to be. I've learned over some time that often the most extraordinary story can hide in a tiny or old and poorly looking book . This exactly describes the books in which I found some of my favourite stories. So I want to share with you my thoughts on one of my most recent but already beloved discovery. Lord of the Flies by William Golding (1954) In 1940 when England entered World War II  William Golding joined Royal Navy. This fact is very important because Golding's experience in WWII had effect on the way he saw the world. His service and all the events that happend o...
