Hi, my name is Kasia Budzowska. I am a student of English Studies at the University of the National Education Commission in Kraków, Poland. As for my hobbies, I enjoy spending time outdoors - I love going on short trips outside the city, but I like a good read too. I usually lean towards biographies, so the International Book Club’s choice seemed perfect to me! Also, I have never taken part in such a project, so I am really looking forward to our meetings. 😊

Hi, my name is Sabina Nowak and I’m super excited that together with Werona Król-Gierat and the Students from the UKEN, we will be able to discuss the Sitting Pretty with you. I hope the Book Club will help us apply the ideas presented by Rebekah Taussig to our own lives and experiences. So, let’s embark on this reading journey by sharing our thoughts and making this reading experience one to remember. I am looking forward to getting to know you better. Thank you for joining the Book Club!

Hi! My name is Karolina Pawlikowska and I am a student at a University of National Education Comission in Cracow. This year I became a full-time English teacher, yay! As of today, apart from working, I don't have time to develop my hobbies. I like reading and I'm into self development. In my free time, whenever I have some spare time, I go hiking with my friends :) I have never taken part in any book clubs, so I guess this is my time to shine and gain experience :)
