Well, hello, dear adventurer! My name is Irena and I welcome you to my humble madhouse!
(Sorry, that was a bit corny, but I just really wanted to say it.)
Anyway, I used to be an English and Croatian language and literature student, and now I haveΒ a Masters degree and a great need for a new hobby. Hence, this blog happened. ItΒ is a place for me to write about the books and themes that interest me. I will also post some of my short stories, which I’ve never had the courage to do before. I’m also planning to write some new stories, explore different topics, genres and writing styles in the hope that it could help me improve my writing.
Besides books, I like tea, chocolate, autumn and cute animals.
Hope you’ll like it here. π
P.S. You can also find me on Instagram as irena.moone and on Goodreads.
Hi there, Just dropping by to tell you that I nominated you for a Versatile Blogger Award. You can check it out at the end of this post. http://wp.me/p60vo-4eI I really like your blog.

Glad to ‘meet’ you too π Loved your header images. I take it you’re a Murakami fan? Any books of his in particular that you would recommend?
LikeLiked by 1 person
I love 1Q84 and The Wind-up Bird Chronicle. His most well known novel is Norwegian Wood, but I haven’t read it yet. It’s less magical realism than the others, as I’ ve heard, and a good place to start, but I love when he makes his world entirely “crazy”. XD
LikeLiked by 1 person
I just got through Norwegian Wood last month. This is going to sound scandalous but I was not blown away by it. The writing (translation?) though was good enough to make me want to try again. I will have to look up Wind Up Bird. Have heard loads of good things about it π

Curious though … do you have a particular tea that you prefer? π
LikeLike
I like almost all kinds of teas, but I prefer herbal teas to fruit teas. I’d say I love white tea the most, but I’ve recently discovered this green tea blended with rose and jasmin called The Rose of Orient and it smells and tastes perfect so it’s my new favourite. π
