Book of LifeAuthor: Deborah Harkness In The Book of Life, all the threads from the previous parts finally start to come together. There’s an old legend about two powerful witches - and for a long time, you’re not sure whether it refers to Satu or Diana. As the story unfolds, secrets are revealed, alliances are formed, and everything begins to make sense. ...

Shadow of NightAuthor: Deborah Harkness The second book in the All Souls trilogy, Shadow of Night, feels quite different from the first one. This time, the story leans more toward the “vampire” side - darker, slower, and full of secrets from the past. In this part, Diana and Matthew travel back in time, which adds a fascinating historical twist to the story. They meet some key figures from both their pasts (and futures), including Diana’s parents, and we start to uncover a bit more of what the entire saga is really about. There’s definitely more magic here - and yes, some of the special effects would look pretty funny on screen - but I actually found Diana’s witch training sequences quite visually striking and well imagined. ...

A Discovery of WitchesAuthor: Deborah Harkness I think this book was probably written with women in mind 😄 - but I really enjoyed it! It all started with the first season of the TV series on HBO. I watched it with my wife, and we both liked it. The special effects were a bit funny at times, but overall, it was better than many romantic comedies. The mix of vampires, witches, and daemons appealed to me, while the romantic plotlines were more my wife’s thing - a bit of joy for both of us 🤣 ...

Catch 22Author: Joseph Heller Reading Catch-22 reminded me of the absurd humor from the TV series M*A*S*H. Not that the characters are the same, but the mood often felt similar-chaotic, funny, and tragic at the same time. What stood out most to me were the smugglers who turned the war into business opportunities. They acted like classical businessmen, caring little about the fighting as long as they could profit. Another strong theme is how far people will go to save themselves. Many pretend to be crazy-or maybe even become crazy-just to escape danger. ...
