Yes, for me books have got special powers. The most important one is that they make me feel at home, wherever I am.
If you didn't know yet, I am currently abroad for one semester in Bratislava, Slovakia. When I first arrived, I didn't feel comfortable at all, everything was so different and new. I started getting really homesick, especially because my second day here was a public holiday and I didn't have anything to do.
Those of you who have been away from home for a longer period might know that boredom is best friends with homesickness.
So I decided to walk around the city center which is absolutely beautiful in comparison to the area where I used to live until two days ago (yes, I arleady moved after one month of my stay but it was a good decision). I was already feeling better after my sight-seeing tour but I only got over my first phase of homesickness when I went into a bookshop the next day.
