Calendar interpretation

A long time ago I said that the Belgrade Book Fair is my third home. I feel fine there and it does not matter whether I stay there for five days or only for one day. November is a good month for travelling, and at its end I have to go to Budva (Montenegro) to receive the Stefan Mitrov Ljubisa Prize for my literary achievements.

He gave her a sack of peanuts for the road, and while she licked the salt from the big nuts and stared at the shimmering neon lights, Eva promised herself that she would go back and start over again.
