Kurzbiographie: Blanka Lipinska is one of the most popular authors and influential women in Poland. She’s an author out of desire rather than necessity and writes for fun instead of money. She loves tattoos, values truthfulness, and treasures altruism. Annoyed with the lack of openness about sex, she took it upon herself to start a discussion about the many sides of love. She likes to say that talking about sex is as easy as preparing dinner.

With over 1.5 million copies of her bestselling trilogy sold in Poland, Blanka was ranked as one of Poland’s highest paid writers in 2019 by Wprost magazine. In 2020 the same magazine listed her as one of Poland’s most influential women. The Polish National Library readership survey lists her in the top 10 most popular authors in Poland and ForbesWomen magazine included her among the top female brands. Her bestselling novel 365 Days is the basis of one of 2020’s most successful Netflix movies worldwide. The film has spent 10 days as #1, the second highest in the chart’s history.

365 Days von Blanka Lipinska

Apparently this book became an instant and huge seller, at least in Europe where it is set, and was published last year, so I wonder why my comment is the first.

It is a little different with the vision, the kidnapping, and I usually don't read or watch anything about thieves, gangsters, Mafia. It's a context that doesn't appeal to me - it's a waste of talent to create media around it.

It is interesting, however, to go into the world of Massimo, the Italian Mafia boss, but only because he's so full on! Looking for 5 years for a woman he'd seen in a vision! and then kidnapping her to set about making her fall in love with him.

Polish Laura is a match for him. She's so determined to retain some power - she sees how to do it and she is probably the only person who can get away with opposing him.

The heat between the two leads is a lot about a battle of wills and a little bit romantic-with-a-twist.

Maya Starling's performance as narrator is extra good. Sebastian York's great voice doesn't fit the Italian Massimo. Too much American drawl - someone whose second language was English would have been better. And the same should probably be said about Maya Starling.

Saw the telemovie after I finished the audiobook - and I see there is also a TV series.… (mehr)

This Day: A Novel (2) (365 Days Bestselling Series) von Blanka Lipinska

Thank you to The Girlfriend Club.

I have to admit that I needed to read the first in the series for me to totally understand this book but I got a good idea though.

This book is definitely Erotic Suspense and if you are a prude (not me), skip the book altogether since there is a lot of sex and graphic scenes too. I didn't mind it since I've read books like this before.

There was another plot in between with Mafioso mostly and another kidnapping which was at the end. Olga was Laura's best friend also from Poland and she was by her side, good and bad.

The ending of the book was interesting to say the least and and it was open ended. I'm wondering if there's a sequel coming since I know there is a Nexflix movie. If the movie is as sex-ridden as this one, it should be rated almost an "X."… (mehr)
