Boris Akunin again! This time it was F.M. - a novel about Nicholas Fandorin and the newly discovered unpublished manuscript of F.M. Dostoevsky. Russian language. 2 volumes.
Book #12
Pavel Sanayev. Bury me behind the baseboard. A heart-breaking novel about a young boy who is forced to live with his emotionally unstable grandmother. Russian language.
Book #13
Ray Bradbury. Dandelion Wine. Are explanations even necessary? I am not sure how I managed to miss this book until now. Then again, I probably would not have appreciated this spot-on depiction of a year in child's life when I was a child myself.
Book #14
