22 - a book more than 100 years old

This week it's going to be a book more than 100 years old. I chose

Ein Landaufenthalt von Onkel Titus by Johanna Spyri.

As far as I know, the author died in 1901, so any book written by her must be over 100 years old. 

So far I've read three books by this author. I loved "Heidi" and "Mazli", but I was not a great fan of "Cornelli". Let's hope I will enjoy this book :)

Ein Landaufenthalt von Onkel Titus by Johanna Spyri

I was bored to tears.  It's a story of a girl called Dora, whose father dies and she must live with her aunt and uncle. They are quite old, insensible and selfish and poor Dora almost dies under their care. Luckily for her, they need to go to Switzerland and Dora's life gets much better. The main problem I had with this book was Dora herself - she was so quiet, obedient and completely uninteresting! I'm sorry to say that, but I didn't care about her at all. The other children in the book were quite irritating, especially this boy who kept creating riddles, I forgot his name already, but I really wanted to throw something heavy at him once or twice. The ending seemed very false and unreal for me and I generally didn't enjoy this book much.  I can't recommend this book and I'm not going to read it ever again.

16 - a book your mom loves

This time the choice was very easy for me, because it's my mom who chose a book! Unfortunately, she chose the author of whom I'm not a huge fan, but - who knows, maybe I'll love this book? It's going to be: Trzymaj sie, Manka! by Malgorzata Kalicinska. We'll see. Wish me luck! :)

15 - a book by a female author

I had a problem with my challenge this week, as I am at hospital and I don't have too many books to chose from with me. I decided to do "a book by a female author" challenge, because - let's be honest - it's the easiest one from my list :) And the book this week will be: Stone Guardian by Meave Greyson, which is probably a paranormal or historical romance and should be very easy and quick to read. I'm sorry for cheating a bit, but I feel very tired right now.
