The Cat Who Saved Books “Who doesn’t read, at 70 years will have lived only one life. Who reads, will have lived five thousand years.” – Umberto Eco When did you recently read a warm, emotional and at moments touching book that talks… well, about love for books? About what those books do for…
The Girl Who Leapt Through Time For a large number of people, “The Girl Who Leapt Through Time” (jpn. “Toki o Kakeru Shōjo”) is probably associated with the animated film from 2006, which won audience sympathy. However, this title reaches far back into the past. “The Girl Who Leapt Through Time” was originally published in…
Rebel (The Legend Series) *(Note: This book connects quite closely to the original Marie Lu trilogy. If you haven’t read the previous books, or read them long ago and forgot, here you can read my reviews of the previous three books to remind yourself what happened. The reviews follow the chronological order of the books:…

As I was returning “Silence” to the shelf, my gaze accidentally fell upon “BATMAN: Nightwalker” by Marie Lu. Marie Lu… why did she seem familiar to me even before? The answer emerged after a brief rummage through my library. The “Legend” trilogy. Neatly lined up and ready to be read. Hmm… should I write…
Some books you seek out, and some books find you… especially those with hard covers and sharp edges… and it’s precisely that edge that drops onto your foot.
