reading journey started: 23 november 2024
a year or so ago i finally got a library membership. to be honest i hated reading for most of my adult life, but discovered my love for it when my uncle gifted me a book for my birthday last year that i actually liked. since then i've read almost every day. i've started writing reviews for books since a month or so, i felt a great need to share my thoughts especially for books that i loved.
- my Storygraph (add me!)
- You've been traumatized into hating reading by Ismatu Gwendolyn
- Book of Lamentations - about dystopian novels and the DSM-V
- Wuthering Heights reader's guide
- The hardest working font in Manhattan by Marcin Wichary (a long but very cute read)
Book list
i try my best to find images of the covers that i have so that it looks like my irl bookcase as much as possible lol
warning: reviews contain spoilers, i discuss the story so read with caution
