“it’s a fascinating blend of genres. It’s an historical novel. It’s a murder mystery. It’s a spy thriller. It’s an adventure. It’s a comic romp (sort of). And on each of these levels, it works a treat.” #summerreading @severnhouse #crime #crimewriting

Bezsenność i lęk

 

Przez lata łóżko miało kolce i kły. Leżało mi w mieszkaniu, milczące i wrogie jak smok. W domu zawsze znajdował się mebel, który był mi nieprzyjacielem.

Nie przyjmowało mnie do siebie. Kaleczyło palce i drapało w oczy. Wiłem się na jego białym języku. Szarpałem się z nim i pro...

Вчера за пръв път влязох в църква в Швеция. Манана и Георгий ме заведоха, ако не бяха те, можеше да пропусна, защото аз отивам в църква само когато имам силно желание за това и ми се струва прекалено повърхностно просто да се отбия от любопитство.

Щях да сгреша, ако не бях отишла. В 10 започна не...

I’m posting this late. Today’s been a bit of a whirlwind.

My dad, whose picture with me I’m sharing above, fell outside and broke his hip—or his femoral neck, to be more specific. He went out to weed-eat, because he likes to putter and do things for himself, but he fell and hurt himself. I found...
