How I organize my home library
Our home library is our little corner of the world that we have brought into our home. Come to think of it, the books we have at home are (somewhat) a slice of our world as individuals - that is, the information we've absorbed, the interests we have. There's an awful lot of information, in all sorts of formats, that we absorb and [...]

"Charlie and the Chocolate Factory", Roald Dahl
I've heard that if you read a children's book again when you're all grown up, most times you're either disappointed or you don't feel the magic in the same way. Well, I think that's a complete lie. Or at least not in this case. I read Charlie and the Chocolate Factory let's say (because I don't remember for sure) when I was seven, which means [...]

"Lullaby in Auschwitz", Mario Escobar
Book: 'Lullaby at Auschwitz' by Mario Escobar Rating (1 to 6): 5 There are books that are difficult to talk about. The horror between these pages, sings a sad song. A melody that chills the heart and isn't like those tunes from scary movies about monsters and ghosts. A heavy book that shows you the truth, fate and history, [...]

"Midnight Library" by Matt Hague
Author: Matt Haig Genre: Novel, Science Fiction Rating (1 to 6): 5 "Who are we? Where do we come from and where are we going?" These are the eternal human questions. What is beyond us? What is the meaning of life?" is how I began my short story for Midnight Library in December, and I can't think of a more appropriate introduction. The book [...]
International Children's Book Day
Do you remember that when we were children we constantly wanted to be big - to be able to decide for ourselves what to do, where to go, to have responsibilities. We were always playing mothers and fathers, newlyweds, adults with amazing jobs. Just to get to the dreams of every adult, to their dreams of the most magical time - childhood. [...]
