What I Read in June
June was a weird a month both personally and globally. On a personal level it was a very busy but also anxious time.

What I Read in February
February was a month that went by quite slowly, even though it only had 29 days. Maybe it was because of the insane amount of rain where I live, or because I avoided every single Carnaval party possible (which was a task that took around 3 weeks), or because of my choice of books. March, […]
