    • Talk about the last book you read

    The last book I read was ”Witcher” by Andrzej Sapkowski. It is a marvellous, creepy, wise and funny story. One of the best things about the book is the way the author gets you to know Gerald from Rivia (the main character). Gerald is cynical and ironic in his attitude towards everyone but somehow you love him and his big heart under the serious mask. it is a great story, with lot of pace, lots of funny situations, and a lot of magic.

    • What’s the best book you have ever read? Explain why?

    oh, this is a really difficult question as I have read so many books! but if I have to choose then I would say ”The Dark Side of the Light Chasers” by Debbie Ford. I adore this book. It helped me so much in a challenging period in my life. It is a psychological, spiritual book about our humanness. The book made me feel whole again and reminded me that every emotion is good and has a gift for us. It really shaped a lot of ideas for melt-affirmed things that I knew in my heart were true, but I didn’t have the words for.

    • What’s the worst book you have ever read? Explain why?

    One of the worst books I have ever read must be ”Watermelon” by Marian Keys. I found the book slow, boring and quite dull. Although the book is a little bit funny in some chapters, I struggled to finish it. The ending is obvious and the characters are not interesting. I do not recommend it.

    • Who is your favourite author? / Who are your favourite authors? Why do you like them?

    I remember years ago my favourite author was Magrit Sandemo the author of ”The Legend of the Ice People” series. Her books are easy to read and difficult to forget. The books made me feel so curious and excited that I devoured them all. I still remember the excitement every time I started a new book from the series. you have to read it.

    Hi Przem,

    This is all beautifully written and I found your insights intersting and thoughtful. Your use of vocabulary is wonderful. I only have one suggestions for you:


    One of the best things about the book is the way the author gets you to know Gerald from Rivia (the main character).

    One of the best things about the book is how the author helps you truly get to know Geralt of Rivia, the main character.

    Apart from that, excellent work.
