The Midnight Cup of Coffee

“Anyone coming within a hundred yards of my happy ending had better pray that they’re immune to bullets.” ~ Shaun Mason. You know how so many stories end with a “they lived happily ever after” note? Well, I am pretty much writing those words in the metaphorical book of my life, eager to know what comes after…

Holidays…   Just a quick update to wish you a happy Easter – or whatever you wish to people on this occasion! Don’t give me that look – yes, I do take down my Christmas tree on late March and I am not much into religious stuff, but I am not inventing holidays, we do celebrate Easter today. And…

So.. I had a bad day, but I still found a few reasons to smile :) I decided to share them all with you, maybe we can decide together what's the best way to deal with the 'lemons' in our lives.

I will be away for just a bit, but don’t worry I will be back soon with more reviews and book news. Until then.. ..And you can always let me know what you liked or disliked about the books we’ve both read – reading a book is not enough, there’s a lot of…

Because… March, that’s why   I took down my Christmas tree a few days ago. No more Christmas for me *sigh* Don’t worry, I am not delusional, I know that most people do this in January and I know it’s late March already. But you see, I have this tradition: on the last day of skiing I take…

Finally, spring!   The 1st of March, known as “Mărţişor”, is an old celebration that symbolizes the beginning of spring and the continuity of life. Mărțișor (pronunciation: [mərtsiʃor]) is the diminutive of marț, the old folk name for March (now known as Martie), so the word can be translated by something similar to “little March” or “dear March”…

...Because there was so much love around the internet today, I felt like reading some of my favorite love-quotes.. and so I made a selection for you to enjoy as well. Happy Valentine’s Day, my dear readers!…

Soon to come   I might be living in a soap bubble (or a dark cave or something) as I don’t seem to keep up with all that’s happening in the book world. And I would gladly hear you say that you feel the same, otherwise I might be the only person in the world that didn’t…

Another year has gone by..   With ups and downs, with happy moments and sad ones, with great books to read and books that I’ve already forgotten, with stories that I will keep in my heart forever, with moments that changed me and moments that defined me, with words unspoken and dreams unknown.. And here we are, looking back to…

Happy Christmas   I am sure that you guys are all having lots of fun right now, so I will make just a quick update – not wanting to keep you away from all those joyful moments spent with your loved ones. For the first time I got to cook for Christmas (sorry pizza guy, I won’t order any…

I love holidays, you know why?   Because the world is better when we all smile, when we all want to make our loved ones happy, when we enjoy life with all our hearts. And todays I am so excited to share my “Dear Santa Book Wish” letter along with the other Sleigh Tour Bloggers.

Come 2013, come..   We’re almost done for the year, what comes next is a month of celebration and joy.. And before doing a recap of the most beautiful books I’ve read in 2012, I will let you know what are my expectations for 2013 in terms of reading. They are all so amazingly interesting for me, so I’ll…

The magic of film adaptations   I don’t know about you, but I love to see my favorite books turned into movies. Yes, it might be that I get to be disappointed more often than not (as great as a movie can be – with the sound, the clear image and the beautiful visual effects – it can…

Best gift!   I’m usually confusing everyone with the names of my posts, so I’ll make this easy for you: This is what you call ‘in my mailbox’ and all posts called ‘under my pillow’ will be about the books I was given (maybe even some that I bought), books that I can’t wait to read and feature…

Something old, something new   As some of you might know I’m trying to learn how to digitally paint. My first artworks have been posted on DeviantArt. One of them is book related and my GoodReads friends seemed to love it, so I decided to have it…

As you've probably noticed, I've been away for a few days enjoying some beautiful family moments, but I hope that the blog kept you company in all this time. Now that I'm back it is time to catch-up with some updates: movie news, books I've been reading and some books I'm waiting for. ...

Soon, soon, soon..   We still have to wait one more year for the movie adaptation of ‘The Host‘ by Stephenie Meyer. Not sure how many of you have read the book yet but I did, and I loved it, and I can’t possibly wait to see it on the big screen. With the…

Because with this, the eReading experience will never…

From book to screen   So I’ve seen The Hunger Games movie this weekend, and I am pleased to tell you that I did like it. It is not like the best movie ever, and I don’t know if the impact was similar for the people that haven’t read the book…

Books are wonderful..   Books are absolutely magical, and all the magic can be found between the lines of the never-ending stories, between those thin layers of paper, in between words that reach the very bottom of your soul, and also the very deep of your heart, bringing back memories, bringing out emotions, giving new meanings to things…

Happy Valentine's day! To be honest I am not very fond of this holiday, and I prefere to have my own special love-day, but I enjoy it nevertheless and I wish you all to be loved and love with all your heart, and to enjoy every second of being in love. This year I didn't find the time to read…

Hello everyone!   Just a quick note to let you all know that recently I’ve created a page for the blog on Google Plus. Not sure how many of you have an account, but if you enjoy keeping in touch via G+ you can find me there. I can’t wait to meet you all there…

I am not good at waiting If it were up to me I would be celebrating Christmas already. I would go buy my Christmas tree right now, I would make it pretty, I would turn on the Christmas lights, I would listen Christmas songs and I would wait for Santa to come. …With presents, lots of presents 😀…
