🧑🏻‍🎨For many of us, Leonardo da Vinci is probably known primarily (or even solely) as a painter. After reading this book, however, I am inclined to think that he was a passionate architect at his core.

🐈Japanese literature always feels like a breath of fresh air—one you finally take in after spending a long time in a stifling, closed space: long-awaited and refreshing.

⚜️Although the plot itself isn’t exactly my type, I actually enjoyed the story quite a lot. Camilla Läckberg writes in a very captivating way, and the scenes somehow materialize before your eyes.

🌺I have rarely read books in which the main characters go through so many… things like those that happen to the characters here (I know it sounds vague, but I can’t say more without giving away the whole story).

🎵In my opinion, Axie Oh builds a much stronger connection between Sori and Nathaniel than between Jenny and Jaewoo. A relationship that’s not only more dynamic but also more complex. The stakes are higher—going beyond just their personal lives within the K-pop industry.

As a YA contemporary romance, 💖“XOXO”💖 doesn’t present an apocalyptic world full of ruin; it doesn’t introduce us to characters torn between the two sides of what is supposedly one, but painfully and perhaps irreversibly divided, world.

🐙A very touching and sweet story…🥹

At first, I was a bit skeptical because not much was happening, and I wondered what the point of the story would be. Maybe it was the octopus, Marcellus, that made me keep reading🫧.

In “The People Who Sow in Snow” (original Swedish title: “Folk som sår i snö”)—named Sweden’s Book of the Year in 2023—we meet Maridja, who has just learned she doesn’t have much time left in this world. She is an eccentric elderly lady, a proud representative of the indigenous northern Sami people, who has no intention of conforming to anyone or anything. Her only goal is to hide her condition from her husband Piera, who is increasingly lost in his own memories.

🫂Only 151 pages long, 🪶“This is how you lose the time war”🪶 packs so much knowledge and weirdness into itself. I don't know if I've ever read something so confusing, tangled, and fragmented, yet carrying such clear messages and ideas.🧩

❣️“Rogue Heart” concludes a gripping duology about the conflict between the old and the new, between reason and heart, these not only intertwined but also building a story of love, hope and war.

🧚‍♀️Ahh…I love this book!💖 This is the 3️⃣rd cozy fantasy I’m reading and, firstly, I’m growing to LOVE this subgenre, and, secondly, this book is the best one so far.

🐦‍🔥Double 8, Josephine, Octavia, Phoenix, Mila - all names that lead to the same girl. Yes, she has a gift, but does it really bring luck and happiness, or is it more of a curse?
