25/100 Howl’s Moving Castle by Diana Jones

Start: 4.06.2025
Finish: 8.06.2025

A fascinating story of enchantment, love and light comedy. Despite watching its motion picture twice so far, I daresay the book has revealed many twist that were not familiar to me. This book tells us of wonderful adventures of an “ex-young” girl called Sophie, who seeks her fortune.

26/100 A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens

Start: 8.06.2025
Finish: 2.07.2025

Notwithstanding its difficult language and some political/historical background needed to understand some of the events in it, the book is impressive! Masked under the depiction of sorrow and dread of the period around the Reign of Terror, it is but a story of the tenderest and earnest love, a sacrifice and fidelity. A tale of two cities and many miserable souls. ~8/10

27/100 Dracula by Bram Stroker (audiobook)

Start: 6.06.2025
Finish: 30.06.2025

After not being able to find its hardcopy in our library, I decided to give the audiobooks a try, which I do not regret at all. Narrated by one of the best narrators (imho), the book served me the best pastime whenever I had some time to spare, be it traveling somewhere by public transport or just doing a break between tasks. The plot is well-thought and keeps you intrigued almost all the time. Mostly recommended if you want to get an in-depth understanding of one of the classics, which made a turn in the history of novels about vampires and the like, by introducing the legendary character: Count Dracula.

Duration: 15 hours give or take.

28/100 Страна Радости Стивена Кинга

Старт: 2.07.2025
Финиш: 5.07.2025

История, в начале показавщаяся для меня поверхностной. Сокрытая мистикой и тайнами на каждом шагу и в неожиданных местах, книга рассказывает нам о судьбе молодого парня, решивщегося заняться подработкой в парке развлечений. Однако, он и представить не мог, каким для него обернётся это незабываемое лето и последующие месяцы, проведённые в «Стране Радости»…

Start: 15.07.2025
Finish: 1.09.2025

A thrilling novel full of plot twists and suspense. A man's discovery of his own identity. Almost totally different from the movie adaptation, in that that the book is better.

32/100 Идиот от Федора Михайловича Достоевского

Старт: 8.10.2025
Финиш: 19.10.2025

Выдающийся писатель.
Знакомлюсь с творчеством Достоевского в первый раз и, должен признаться, я в восторге от прочтенного! Проницательность автора к деталям при описании самой сути человеческой сущности не может не поражать. Книга в буквальном смысле раскрывает ход мыслей определенных людей в определенных ситуациях, не церемонится при выражении их эмоций, и заставляет читателя сопереживать и сострадать. 10/10, рекомендуется всем.

34/100 The Dark Knight by Christopher Nolan et al.

Start: 20.10.2025

"Sometimes the truth isn't good enough. Sometimes, people deserve more."

"Why so serious?"

36/100 new moon by Stephenie Meyer

Start: don't remember
Finish: 17.12.2025

A story filled with anticipation and romance. Slightly cringy at times but overall good enough. 7/10 maybe? some of the "teenage passion" moments are hard to fathom.

39/100 Breaking Dawn (Twilight series) by Stephenie Meyer


Start: 6.02.2026
Finish: 2.03.2026

So, I made it till the end of the Twilight series. I read all of the books and watched the movies one after another. The movies help to visualize parts where your imagination fails, and books fill the holes in the script. Shortly about this book: movies show you how it looks, the book tells you how it feels. We don't get to understand or see the tension, feelings or thoughts of characters in a movie but books perfectly describe each small detail, and this is what Breaking Dawn does; it gets you through everything.
