Plus+ by Bethany Rutter My rating: 4 of 5 stars *I have received this book from NetGalley* It's more of a tabletop book, which you can look at from time to time. The general idea of the book is to show that no matter the size, you should be body positive. The message of the book is to love yourself, love your body and be true to yourself. Being not only plus-size but also PwD can be challenging in a matter of finding clothes that fit, look good and are comfy. Ladies presented in the book are happy with themselves and you can definitely see it. Some of them are stunning, some gorgeous, all are amazing. Author of the book is absolutely right, that buying big sizes is possible almost only in online shops. Highstreet shops barely ever offer big sizes and more exclusive shops don't even bother to sell plus sizes. I agree with all the girls in the book, who say that it took time to accept their bodies and feel comfortable in it. For me, it took som...

The Atlas of Disease:Mapping deadly epidemics and contagion from the plague to the zika virus by Sandra Hempel My rating: 5 of 5 stars *I have received this book from NetGalley, but didn't finish in time, so I purchased it on Amazon* I'm a fan of various medical stories, the more real they are, the better. Non-fiction accounts of doctors or researchers are the best, but books about diseases are also amazing. This book is great in telling the stories of the various contagious diseases and how they spread, where do they come from and so on. Additional maps help visualize everything. Illustrations of awareness posters and art about given diseases were very interesting, too. I've learned a few things from this book and I think it's a great book to come back to from time to time, just for a short reminder of basic facts. (I've added the starting date, when I've started reading the copy from Netgalley, that was sometime in early Dec...

Guinea Pigs by Tonino Benacquista My rating: 4 of 5 stars * I have received this novel thanks to NetGalley and the publisher* It's an excellent read! It starts off slowly, with three people, who have a rather lame life. They have nothing to lose, so they decide to apply for new drug tests. They are promised there won't be any side effects, but things turn out differently. I won't tell you how, so you will need to see (read) for yourself. It surely is a story about the modern world, about how dependant we are no our magic pills and how far can we go for them. I'd love to read more of this story, some follow up would be amazing. Oh, and the cover is great :) View all my reviews

Pumpkinhead by Cullen Bunn My rating: 3 of 5 stars *I could read this book thanks to NetGalley* It's a story of people's demons, ones that hunt them. Literally. There are witches and demons and brave sheriff in this story. There's a good drawing. The story itself is pretty good, can get creepy at times. My only issue is that the Pumpkinhead looks a lot like The Alien. Otherwise - I wouldn't mind reading some more of demon stories. It felt like coming back to Sleepy Hollow :) View all my reviews
