More Prague photos because this city deserves it—and I'm being honest here, I'm just a bit lazy to write a proper post today. Here's the castle and Mala Strana district viewed from that famous Charles Bridge everyone knows about. Prague keeps pulling me back in with its architecture and mystery.

I'm a list person. Actually, I'm worse than that—I'm a list addict. Can't start my workday without scribbling down tasks. Every time I cross something off, I feel weirdly accomplished. So naturally, book lists are my thing. Here's a look back at 100 titles that shaped my reading life.

Just got back from a few days in Prague—this city is incredible. I wandered so much that getting back to normal rhythm feels impossible. Plus I'm deep into a 600-page monster of a book right now, so don't expect a review anytime soon. Here are some shots from the trip instead.

I don't usually struggle to write about books, but this one left me stumped. It's not exactly a novel—more like three separate stories stitched together, all featuring women navigating impossible situations. Each narrative stands alone, yet they share a brutal honesty about power, family, and survival.

For years, yellow was my color. Walls, curtains, clothes—everything. Then I moved apartments and decided red was the new thing. Changed the couch, swapped the drapes. But somehow yellow keeps creeping back into my life, including the books I'm reading. Strange how colors stick with you.

Pierre makes impulsive decisions. He ditched his Paris life, his modeling gig, his apartment, his relationship—all on a whim. This isn't new for him. He already abandoned philosophy studies and a thesis. Now he's making another break, and we follow him through the aftermath of that choice.

South Carolina, 1950s. Drought year in Oconee County. Corn dying in fields, tempers flaring. Holland Winchester, Korean War vet and local troublemaker, vanishes. What starts as a missing person case becomes something darker. Rash tells this story from multiple viewpoints, each one adding weight to the mystery.

Eleni lives on Naxos island, working as a hotel maid, married to a mechanic named Panis, mother of two. Her life is predictable until she becomes obsessed with a chess set at the hotel. This fixation changes everything. Sometimes an ordinary life just needs one element to crack it wide open.

Will Bird belongs to the Cree community near James Bay in northern Canada—polar bear territory, endless winter, snow for days. After an assault leaves him comatose, his niece tells him stories to bring him back. Boyden weaves indigenous history with personal trauma in a way that feels urgent and necessary.

Melvin Epineuse—dandy, eccentric, detached—gets hired by an anonymous client to find Bruno Bar, who happens to be his friend. His approach: you only find what you're not looking for. So he deliberately avoids looking. It's absurd detective fiction done with style, and somehow it works.
