Dominika's Reading Challenge

This book is a collection of short esseys about philosophy. It's quite easy and very well-written, so even if you know nothing about this subject you may still enjoy it. I really liked the language of this book, it was a joy to read. I struggled a bit at the beginning, but I loved the second part, about Meister Eckhart, it was great. I'm very happy that I read this book.

I didn't manage to fulfil my last challenge yet (not a surprise), and it's a new week and time for a new challenge. This week it's going to be a book a friend recommended, because last week two of my friends recommended me the same author. That's why I decided to read: Wedrowki w kraine filozofow by Jozef Tischner I hope I'll like this one, I really need something exciting to read - I'm in a reading slump right now. Wish me luck!

It's a hard task this week, and one I'm ready not to fulfil - a book at the bottom of my to-read list. There is one book at the bottom, the book I could never start reading, because it's so long and I felt quite scared to start it, and it's: The Lives of the Artists by Giorgio Vasari Well, we'll see if I manage to finish it. Let's hope I will!

This book was simply charming, funny and clever and I loved it. It's a diary of a wife of a doctor and a mother of three boys in the fifties, but the problems and situations we can see in this book are eerily similar to what we can experience in our own houses nowadays. I read this book with great pleasure and I recommend it to everybody, who likes laughing.

I can't believe it's already week 30! I don't have much time this week, so I decided to read something short and easy: Provincial Daughter by R.M. Dashwood I read and loved "Diary of a Provincial Lady", which was written by the mother of R.M. Dashwood. I hope I'll like this book as well!

I enjoyed this book immensely and I was sure I would give it five stars - right until the ending, which was, I'm sorry to say, quite horrible. It was like one of those crazy, silly comedies and I hated it, so finally I gave this book only four stars. The story was simple and cute: Esme, a very poor girl from Vietnam, goes to the USA to meet and marry Khai. Khai is autistic and it's his mother who chose Esme as his future wife. He's not very happy about it at first, but soon he discovers that maybe it's not such a bad idea. I really liked Khai, he was a sweetheart. He always tried to make people happy and he was so  clumsy with people and kept saying and doing the wrong things. And the first sex scene was hilarious. I didn't like Esme. She was dishonest, she didn't tell neither Khai nor his mother about her daughter, which was a huge lie. She kept hiding her thoughts from Khai, although both he and his mother asked her not to do this. She kept taking...

This week it's a book published this year and it's a very easy challenge for me, as I just bought a book I'm dying to read! It's: The Bride Test by Helen Hoang Last year I read this author's first book, The Kiss Quotient, and I simply fell in love with it, so I couldn't wait for the book number two. It's finally here, it's beautiful and I'm very excited!
