Ljubuški (Sights to See, Places to Visit / Znamenitosti za vidjeti, Mjesta za posjetiti)

What a lovely place this is!  Do you remember it? If you don't, don't worry because I'll leave you with two little reminders i.e. links to previous posts ( here and here).  Can you recognize it now? If you are a first time visitor, I don't mind repeating myself. This is Ljubuški, a small city in region of Herzegovina, country Bosnia and Herzegovina. These photographs were taken back in February but since the weather has been a bit on the chilly side lately, I don't feel weird about posting them now. I originally planned to post a book review to go along with this post, but I couldn't think of anything nice to say about the book in question, so I gave up. I reviewed it a long time ago on goodreads and all I can say after reading it again is that I feel the same way about it. The concept of this book is great but it is written so badly. End of story. How it managed to win an award for the best novel of the year is beyond me. Anyway, it hasn't been translated to English, so you wouldn't have heard of it anyway. The cover is pretty so at least that makes me feel like I didn't waste my money. I don't regret buying it, I usually don't regret buying books. I strongly belive that in order to support writing we need to buy books (in whatever form) and that is especially the case with works of young writers. I'm always the first to buy someone's first book. As the provers says, let's support live artists not the dead ones. So, unless I'm really broke, buying books is a part of my routine. What is a part of your routine?

Kakvo je ovo divno mjesto! Sjećate li ga se? Ako ga se ne sjećate, ne brinite se jer je ovdje i ovdje mali podsjetnik. Možete li ga sada prepoznati? Ukoliko ste me posjetili po prvi put, nije mi problem ponoviti. Ovo je Ljubuški. Zadnji put kada sam ga posjetila bilo je kada sam ovdje bila na ručku s mužem.Ove fotografije su uslikane prošle veljače ali pošto je vrijeme bilo poprilično hladno u zadnje vrijeme, uopće mi ih nije čudno objaviti sada. Planirala sam objaviti i ogled knjige s ovom objavom, ali nisam mogla smisliti ništa lijepo što bi rekla o ovoj knjizi, pa sam odustala. Davno sam pisala o njoj na goodreadsu i sve što mogu reći o njoj nakon što sam je pročitala ponovo je da imam isto mišljenje. Koncept ove knjige je odličan, ali je napisana tako loše. Nije mi nikako jasno kako je osvojila nagradu za prvijenac godine, pogotovo jer mi pada na pamet barem nekoliko mladih autora koji su to više zaslužili. No, iako je roman Anđeli će samo zaspati  Merlite Arslani bio razočaranje, ne žalim što sam ga kupila. Ako ništa drugo barem je naslovnica lijepa. Skoro mi nikad nije žao što sam kupila knjigu. Mislim da moramo kupovati knjige ako želimo potaknuti pisanje i spisateljstvo, pogotovo je važno pogurati mlade spisatelje. Ja uvijek poletim kupiti nečiji prvijenac pa makar i ne bio najbolji. Kao što jedna izreka kaže, živi umjetnici su ti koji trebaju našu potporu, ne mrtvi. Tako da osim ako sam baš u minusu, kupovanje knjiga mi je dio rutine. Što je dio vaše rutine?
