What I'm reading + NOTD pt. 71

Veronika is quiet and responsible girl. She was never a kind of girl who hides in the corner with a best friend and shares secrets with her. She doesn't need anyone to go to the toilet with her or share lunch with her. She was without a best friend her whole childhood and this was ok. She encounters her best friend just at the end of teenage era, a girl named Madla. Madla is crazy and wild, she is everything that Veronika isn't. With Madla Veronika finds also a new family, secret love and warmth, that was missing in her life before Madla. But not for long, there is an ugly coincidence that cuts in Veronika's happiness.


Hruškadottir is an awarded first novel of a Czech writer Jana Šramkova. She got the sward in the category Best young author. The novel was written in 2008 and published in Slovene language in 2015, but I don't know if it was translated in some other languages.

The description is a little bit off though, because we could hardly say that Veronika is a girl, with 24 years she is already a woman and she is finishing her studies. But it is also true that we follow more storylines, Veronika remembers her life when she was 18 and just met Madla, then when she is around 20 and also what is happening at the present, so when she is 24. Because of this you must read the novel very concentrated or if you won't know where in time the story is happening.


The nail polish is from Catrice, a discontinued one with the name Dirty Berry. It's a violet, with silver glitter, in the sun you can see the glitter is holographic, but it's not a strong effect. The application was perfect. Catrice has had many shapes of brushes in their polishes and I like the ones that were the first the best. They were flat and not thick and chubby, they were just the right shape for my taste. I miss these brushes.


Have a nice day!
