How do we experience love?

Slika
Hey everyone!  This is not really a typical blog post, just some of my thoughts, but let's try :) I decided to talk about love, because I've witnessed so many unreal and toxic relationships or just real love at the wrong place at the wrong time. And that bothers me, why can't there be just love and everything is perfect from that moment on? Nowdays, in this "new age" era people don't even know what love is, or I better say they now exactly what love is, but they don't want to have "problems" with it.  Some people say: "Oh my god, I'm so in love with this person, but I can't get into a relationship because I don't want to have problems." Wait a second, if you don't want to have problems you are not in love with this person. You just want to have a quick romance, because you are lonely. This is not love.  But does love even exist? We all know what love feels like, butterflies, heart beating and stuff. But is it r...

Movie review: Tempestad

Slika
Hey peeps! As you know I'm a volunteer at Amnesty International and I got to see one of the movies on the Festival of documentary film 2017, that compete for an award for human rights. Tempestad by Tatiana Huezo (2016) The story is about two different women in Mexico, that had been the victims of the country and cartels. Miriam was arrested with her other colleagues in her job at the airport, because they were accused of trafficking with people. But she didn't do it, the government just needed somebody to accuse. She was transferred to prison run by Cartel, but it wasn't really a prison, more like a torturing hotel without any bars. She got out after 8 months for the lack of evidence. She felt stigmatized and she lives in fear ever since. The other woman Adela has a marvelous family that works in a circus. Her daughter was abducted by people that worked with the police. They sold her forward. Adela and her family were threatened to stop searching, but the family stil...

Haul: Just some random books

Slika
Hey readers! I've been around some bookstores these days and of course I bought some books. I couldn't help myself. What can I say in my defense, I'm a bookworm. Firstly, I've bought a book by Ildefonso Falcones , a spanish author of historical novels. I've first read his book Cathedral of the Sea and now I've decided to read another book of his.It's called The Hand of Fatima and it's about a man who falls in love with this muslim girl called Fatima, their love is, of course, forbidden. Then I've bought two books frome the series Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor. I've taken the first two books: Daughter of Smoke and Blood and Days of Blood and Starlight. It's a science fiction trilogy about a girl, who gets involved in a world of angels and demons. I can't wait to start reading this books, although I have pretty stuffed my "to read" list. Love, 

My year 2016 in books

Slika
Hello readers! Long time no see. I've been busy with university, so now I'm writing my "2016 reading review". This year has been very different for me, a lot of changes, good and bad things had happened, but at least I had books! At the beginning of the year, I've decided to start   2016 Goodreads reading challenge and I was determined to finish it. My goal was 30 books in one year and I've achieved that goal! I love Goodreads because you can track books you've already read, books you want to read, books you own and you can rate and review them. You can also find new friends and follow your bookworm friends for exchanging reviews. You can see my progress here: I've also read a few books twice like: After by Anna Todd An Ideal Husband by Wilde The Diamond as big as the Ritz by Fitzgerald Anna Karenina by Tolstoy a slovenian book Ločil bom peno od valov by Lainšček. For 2017 Goodreads reading challenge I've also p...

Haul: Harry Potter coloring book

Slika
Hey guys! I was surfing on Book Depository 3 weeks ago and found myself a Christmas present :) Because I am under a lot of stress lately and I read about how coloring can help to reduce it, I bought myself an adult coloring book with Harry Potter Magical Creatures theme. The pictures inside are AMAZING. At the end of the book there are also fully colored pictures so you can compare or just get help from them. I started coloring the first picture and I can say that when you color, you forget about everything and just the picture matters. It's really fascinating. You can always look on  their Bargain Shop  where the prices are insanely low. The shipping is free worldwide! Patrisha
