Mislim da su rijetki među vama koji me pratite na Facebooku koji ne znaju da sam se nedavno selila u novi stan i da je od 40 unajmljenih kutija za transport imovine, 20 bilo prepunjeno knjigama. Knjige sam sakrivala i u neke od ostalih 20 kutija. 🙂 Naravno, neke knjige koje imam su već godinama kod mene i, kada sam ih pakirala, naišla sam na neke stare prijatelje šarenim koricama kojih se nisam ni sjećala da ih imam, ali mi je bilo tako drago što sam ih opet srela. Da ih nemam i da sam ih tada, prilikom pakiranja, prvi put ugledala – sigurno bi ih kupila. 😀
Htjela sam neke zabavne i interesantne sadržaje iz svih tih knjiga podijeliti s vama, pa je ovo prvi od XY postova koje neću računati kao recenzije. 
Ovo je nekakva zbirka citiranih dosjetki, bezazlenih i otrovnih, kojima je humor zajednički nazivnik. Svi citati su podijeljeni u kategorije, pa sam ja odlučila probrati i nekoliko kategorija i nekoliko citata koji su mi u trenutku prelistavanja bili zabavni. Here we go…
