I love stories that take place in the harsh setting of mountains. And Michelle Paver´s Thin Air combines this setting with a compelling ghost story, which makes this a truly great and enjoyable read. I really appreciated the slow build up of this novel and the almost gothic feel to it. We follow t...
This book is pretty much outside my comfort zone. Atmospheric ghost stories aren't something I'm drawn to and the only reason I read this one was because a good friend said it was one of the best books she'd ever read. I will admit that it is a well-written book and it catches you from the get-go, ...
In 1935, young medic Stephen Pearce travels to India to join an expedition with his brother, Kits. The elite team of five will climb Kangchenjunga, the world's third highest mountain and one of mountaineering's biggest killers. No one has scaled it before, and they are, quite literally, following in...
I love stories about climbing expeditions so I try to read as many as I can. This one focuses more on the ghost story aspect versus a lot of climbing details which is still great but if you are looking for a more technical perspective then you probably want to read a true account instead of this. ...

Niewiele powieści czytałam, które byłyby dla mnie całkowitym zaskoczeniem – dosłownie pod każdym względem! Każde tego typu spotkanie zapamiętuję na naprawdę długo. „Bogowie i wojownicy” to jedna z takich zaskakujących powieści – o odwadze, przyjaźni i dorastaniu, a przy tym w niezwykle magiczno-mito...
I came across Dark Matter on a random Amazon wandering, and I was immediately attracted to both the cover, and the synopsis. A ghost story, set in the Arctic during Polar Night in the 1930's ticks so many of my boxes it's uncanny. And what scarier setting than being alone, in the dark, in the ice an...
