At the end of 2022, a dear friend invited me to join a book club, and I was excited! I mean .. literally excited, since I've never join a book club before and I love books, so after a few tap on the phone, I am a member of a book club. After the registration … Continue reading A club

V. E. SCHWAB I read the book in three seats within a day, the book is ghoulishly good. If you wonder what the heck is ghoul having to do with this book...
