Reading list
a year or so ago i finally got a library membership.
to be honest i hated reading for most of my adult life, but rediscovered it when my uncle gifted me a book for my birthday last year.
since then i've read almost every day. for some books, i post reviews in my blog.
warning: reviews probably contain spoilers!! they are more like a discussion piece where i talk about specific story elements or passages that i (dis)like, so read them with caution.
