Reading recommendations in the Time of Corona

Reading recommendations in the Time of Corona

Hello dear reader(s) and welcome back! If you haven’t read my previous blog post Reading in the Time of Corona – you can click on the link and have a read. Basically I muse what kind of texts (books, audiobooks, comics, manga, magazines) one should look for and what to avoid like the plague. 😀 This is the continuation of that text in which I’m going to give a few lots and lots reading recommendations.

The Historian’s Apprentice: The Birth of a Thesis

The Historian’s Apprentice: The Birth of a Thesis

Hello dear reader(s) and welcome back to my blog! I hope you had a nice summer, that you’re ready for autumn and some cooler weather. Instead of the usual instalment of Nessa reads & reviews, today I’m going to write about something else. In case I didn’t bore you to death with this on Twitter (shameless plug – you can find me @NarratriceNessa 🙂 ) I recently graduated from the Faculty of Philosophy in Split.

Kad bi mogla naći krimiće koje se događaju u antičkoj Grčkoj vjerojatno bi i njih čitala, zapravo ne vjerojatno nego sigurno. Jednostavno volim krimiće, dobro volim krimiće ako su dobro napisani (kao i sve knjige uostalom). S krimićima uvijek možeš radit dvije stvari: uživat u uzbuđenju čitanja i čekat kraj dok se otkrije počinitelj/ica zločina ili uživat u čitanju i pokušat pogodit počinitelja/icu prije kraja. Ponekad uspijem u ovom drugome, ponekad se i ne trudim, jednostavno uživam u čitanju.
