Review: Beach Read by Emily Henry
5/5 ☕ | Beach Read has actually been such a personal read for me. Moments that were given solidity through words even if I wouldn’t even dare to think about them myself. Reading snippets that felt like I am reliving specific moments in my life.

Review: The Lightning Thief (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, #1) by Rick Riordan

Review: Sputnik Sweetheart by Haruki Murakami
Reading Murakami has given me three impressions: emotional, vintage, and surreal. With a set of curious, and almost strange characters…. Murakami made, what I think, one of his most emotionally vulnerable creations.

Review: Viva Durant and the Secret of the Silver Buttons by Ashli St. Armant
