\nCurrently reading: House of the Spirits by Isabel Allende 📚
\nWhat really is the word to describe this kind of narration style? And then to know just how much a matter is an obvious lie, yet still love and enjoy, even believe, it.

\n📚 Finished reading: Gone by Jock. The influence of this book was clear and I loved it. Sure I felt the world building could have been a little better, but honestly it didn’t matter. The art alone is worth the price of entry, but if you like action sci-fi, then this is a great addition to the genre.

\nFinished reading: Stranger Things: Worlds Turned Upside Down by Gina McIntyre 📚
\nThis book is a triumph of the design of a physical object. It’s so cool. The making-of details are fascinating but the design elevates it.
