Bunny ♡ Mona Awad
This one is probably one of the weirdest book I have ever read in my life (and I have read quite a bunch of weird books) and as of right now, I am still not sure 3 stars is the right rating. To be honest, I do not even know if I liked it or…

5 Ways To Read A Book In A Foreign Language For The First Time ♡ Learn A New Language.

Letters to a Young Poet, Rainer Maria Rilke.
This is by far one of the best books I have read (actually, listened to). I had never read anything by this author but had heard wonderful things about him. As a lot of people recommended starting with this book, that is what I did without really knowing what I would find…
