However, while I kept li...

The Reader Who Lives a Thousand Lives
I was so excited for this book! So, I picked it up from my library app(Overdrive). I was trembling with anticipation as I read the first couple of words!

It tells the story of several women and their misfortunes when it comes to love.The prose is heavenly. The descriptions made my heart sore. What can I say? I'm a sucker for...

You know when you catch a TV show you haven’t ever seen, but it's been playing for years? The kind when you just so happen to stop on a channel and it is intriguing and you like the hero’s face and funny one-liners so you Google it, and Google turns into Netflix and Netflix turns into buying everyth...
