Other People’s Clothes by Calla Henkel: 3/5 ⭐️

Novels set in Berlin have been my guilty pleasure lately, and this was no exception. But, while its premise was intriguing, the middle part was tediously dragging — with the ending altogether feeling rushed, anticlimactic, and flat.

Hamnet by Maggie O’Farrell: 5/5 ⭐️

As always, I devour anything Shakespeare-related, and Hamnet is no exception. O’Farrell’s prose is — as I unashamedly described — deliciously satisfying. The plot, however, is as devastating and heartwrenching as historical events promised.

the concept of randomly getting the energy to stay up until 3am earlier just to finish a document that will (hopefully) change my life

Starting 2025 with another reading goal (one that I hope to FINALLY achieve this time lol) 🤩

Let’s gooooo

Beartown by Fredrik Backman: 5/5 ⭐️

There’s something about how Backman writes these small-town characters that reveal universal, if not slightly sinister, truths about humanity.

“Bears shit in the woods, but everyone else shits on Beartown” is a chilling way to sum it up.

my new hobby is going to bookstores and looking at the books I own but unfortunately have to leave back home 🥲
