Sedeo sam sinoć na terasi, sa pivom u ruci koje se polako grejalo, i zurio u nebo. Bilo je jedno od onih retkih noći kada je vazduh čist, a zvezde jasno vidljive. I onda me, kao i uvek u takvim trenucima, uhvati ona ista misao: da li još neko sedi ovako i pita se kakvi sve svetovi postoje tamo napol Read more of this blog post »

Not Quite Dead Yet by Holly Jackson

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


This is my first book by Holly Jackson. It's the premise that sucked me in, plus the need to catch a break after a slew of educational book club type books. Loved the writing style and the mystery, plus all the twists and turns. Rarely do Read more of this blog post »

When I worked for the City of Chicago, I encountered few, if any, civilian employees when I started in 1986. Sworn officers filled those roles that civilians were eventually brought in to work.
