Awu's Story and So long, a letter are two of my favourites, Happy reading!
Thank you! These books have been on my TBR for quite a while now.

This clearly was not a GAR year for me... I am ending up with Zero books read 😨... Luckily there is a new year approaching fast 😊
Some years are better than others! I hope you read some other interesting books that took your fancy!
