Hello dear reader(s) and welcome to another (quite spoiler-y) episode of Nessa reads and reviews. Spooky season is upon us, so in today’s instalment I’ll do my very best to write a concise and coherent review of Katherine Arden’s horror series Small Spaces. Most likely I will fail on both fronts, but we’ll see how it goes yeah. 🙂 As I mentioned in the very first sentence of this text there will be spoilers in this review. If I can, I usually do my very best to avoid spoilers while writing a review, but sometimes they are necessary. The most important thing is that everyone is aware of this fact at the very beginning so they can skip ahead to the opinion part of the text, or skip the text entirely. Ye have been warned. 🙂

Hello dear reader(s) and welcome back to the blog! I mentioned at the end of my last review that I’ll be participating in Dewey’s Readathon that would be held on Saturday April 6th. The official start time was on Saturday at 8:00 EDT, or 14:00 CEST for Croatian readers. April’s Readathon ended a couple of hours ago and since it’s raining this afternoon in Split I decided to write down some musings about the event and review my to-read pile in one go. Two birds, one blog post. 😀

Hello dear reader(s) and welcome to another instalment of Nessa reads books and writes reviews (NRBWR). I’m writing this review ahead of my biweekly book club where we’ll discuss Joe Hill’s Heart-Shaped Box, the book we chose to read and talk about. Furthermore, I managed to finish the book 4 days ahead of schedule which is a miracle in and of itself. 😀 I usually finish it the day before ‘cause you know I have 2 weeks to read the book… Holly shit how is it Sunday before the book club already and I’m only halfway through! 😀

Eto ti ga na! Još je jedan mjesec prohujao s vihorom, doslovno i figurativno u ovom slučaju! Ne kaže se zaludu da je veljača prevrtljivica. S obzirom da je 2016. prijestupna godina veljača dobiva još jedan dan za svoju prevrtljivost. No usprkos svemu i ovaj mjesec donosim listu stvari koje su mi život činile boljim. A kako sam ovaj mjesec dosta čitala to će uglavnom biti knjige. Neću vam prepričavati sadržaje knjiga, već ću staviti linkove na Goodreads ili Amazon, tako da tamo možete pročitat kratak sadržaj svega što vas zanima bez da ga ja masakriram ili nedajb[l]ože spojlam. 😀 Recenzije će više bit orijentirane na moj dojam i komentare, a znate kako već ide kad ja krenem o nečem pričat. Uzmite grickalice, piće po želji, udobno se smjestite i nastavite čitat.
