My last book recommendations blog post was a bit long, so today I'm going to try and keep it short. Nakon prošlog podužeg posta s preporukama za čitanje , danas pišem nešto kraći.  After finishing The Truth about Melody Browne, I started reading Final Girls by Riley Sager and finished it while I was on my vacation. It's actually a really good beach read. Then I've read In a Dark, Dark Wood by Ruth Ware. I gave both books four stars on Goodreads. They were good, I'm not sorry that I've read them, but they didn't leave me speechless. Quincy is the main character in Final Girls, she survived a massacre and became known as a final girl, just like Lisa and Samantha who have also survived a massacre. Quincy finds out that Lisa committed a suicide which turns out to be a homicide and Quincy's life turns upside down. Nora, the main character in the book In a Dark, Dark Wood, goes to a hen party of her friend Claire who she hasn't seen in ten years. Something ...

Instead of publishing another book recommendations post, I decided to write about some new things that I got. Every year, when my parents, sister or boyfriend ask me what I want for my birthday, I can't think, it's like my brain decides to switch off. This year I made some progress and actually thought about what I need and what I would buy for myself anyway.  Umjesto da odmah nakon što sam objavila post s preporukama za čitanje objavim još jedan, odlučila sam malo razbiti monotoniju i s vama podijeliti neke nove stvari koje sam dobila. Obično, kad me moji ili dečko pitaju što želim za rođendan, zablokiram i ne mogu se sjetiti ničega. Ove godine sam napredovala i razmišljala što mi treba tj. što bi si sama ionako kupila. At the beginning of summer, when it was still not too hot, I started exercising with Chloe Ting. One of her exercises, called the knee walk squat, was a bit challenging because I didn't have the right mat so I told my boyfriend that that could be my birthda...

This summer I've decided to invest more time in something I love - reading. I love the possibility of escaping from reality with a good book and to be honest I needed to take a break from reading for uni. When reading for uni I try to stay focused and concentrated the whole time and now I was reading for pleasure. I didn't bother with remembering details and with thinking is something important or not and I can confirm that this was a great change for my brain. Ovo ljeto odlučila sam se više posvetiti čitanju. Volim čitanje i volim bijeg u svijet mašte s dobrom knjigom, a trebalo mi je i malo odmora od štiva koje čitam za fakultet. Kada čitam nešto za fakultet trudim se biti fokusirana i koncentrirana cijelo vrijeme, a sada sam čitala za opuštanje i nisam se opterećivala pamćenjem detalja i razmišljanjem je li nešto bitno ili ne i mogu reći da je to bila odlična promjena za moj mozak.  The first book I've read this summer is The Hate U Give . I've heard about this book ...
