The Electrifying Story of Multiple Sclerosis by Vanita Oelschlager My rating: 4 of 5 stars *Got this book courtesy of NetGalley* It's a good little book to learn basics about what is MS. I'm not sure who is it aimed for, as at times it feels like the author is talking to a child. As I've said - it gives you basic information, but it's enough to start from. The book is a bit repetitive, but maybe that's the point - to make readers remember. I very much liked section, where the book suggests ways in which you can try feeling like a person with MS. Those ideas are good and they will make you feel like people with other neuromuscular diseases, believe me. Everything is great, but there's this: IT'S YOU ARE FFS! View all my reviews

This Is a Whoopsie! by Andrew Cangelose My rating: 5 of 5 stars *Got this book courtesy of NetGalley* That's for sure the shortest book I've read this year, but it's also most adorable one. Here's Whoopsie, a young moose, who isn't great at it. He falls a lot, can't jump and is smaller than other moose. He also has a best friend - a cute little bird. Even though Whoopsie falls often, he always gets up, which is a great lesson for readers. I love Whoopsie! View all my reviews

Alt-Life by Thomas Cadène My rating: 4 of 5 stars *Got this book courtesy of NetGalley* It's surely something else. On the one hand, it's pretty messed up, but on the other - very interesting to read and look at. Truth is the story is pretty simple - two young people entering a virtual reality world, to see how it's going to work for the rest of humanity, which will follow suit. They explore this new world of possibilities, which are endless, as it turns out. The only boundary is your imagination. Or so it seems. Perfect world is not so perfect after all... The drawings are pretty nice, I liked the colours, too. It is full of sex and sensuality, but the scenes aren't vulgar. I liked that. An intense story for sci-fi and thinking fans.

Boni The Last Bite of Carrot by Ian Fortin My rating: 4 of 5 stars I've read this book thanks to NetGalley. Life is harsh, especially for Boni, who is a cute rabbit. It's a book with pretty simple pictures, but they show hilarious situations. I honestly laughed out loud several times and giggled through the rest of the book. Good stuff, I tell you. Oh, I absolutely adore Boni's grandpa ;) View all my reviews

Breaking Up Is Hard To Do... But You Could've Done Better by Hilary Campbell My rating: 4 of 5 stars Got this book courtesy of NetGalley. I'm not sure I'd say it's a book, more like long Bored Panda post. Never the less, it's a fun read, the illustrations are cute, and most of all - we can all relate to those savage break-up shit, right? Highly recommended! View all my reviews

Upgrade Soul by Ezra Claytan Daniels My rating: 2 of 5 stars *Got this book from NetGalley* This graphic novel took me a bit longer to finish than expected. There were times when I've struggled to go on. It's a rather disturbing story, which proves that you can't always get what you want easily. Well, the truth is you shouldn't even want to get more, get an upgrade, as it might not turn out as you hoped. Drawings in the book are odd, too. They are a bit creepy; especially the faces are unsettling. Overall it wasn't entirely what I hoped for... View all my reviews

Sendlerowa. W ukryciu by Anna Bikont My rating: 3 of 5 stars Mam bardz0 mieszane uczucia co do tej książki. Zajęła mi dużo czasu i cieszę się, że to już koniec, a jednocześnie tak mi jakoś nie bardzo. Z początku strasznie mnie denerwowała narracja autorki. Taka chaotyczna i poszarpana. Z czasem się trochę przyzwyczaiłam, ale nie do końca. Nie mam na myśli, że książka jest niezrozumiała, po prostu jest, wg mnie, rozbiegana myślowo, zbyt emocjonalna. Oceniłabym ją bardziej na 2,5* niż na 3, ale niech tam. Książkę przeczytałam, ale czy poznałam lepiej Irenę Sendlerową? Nie wiem. Jest to historia kobiety, która z całą pewnością zrobiła wiele, ale nie robiła tego sama. Jest to historia kobiety, która sama tworzyła historię i historie, nie zawsze prawdziwe. Pamięć to zabawny system, który czasem pamięta to czego nie było. Z całą pewności ta książka burzy, czy raczej przebudowuje, wyobrażenie jakie posiada o Sendlerowej przeciętny człowiek. Ponownie pojawia...
