Finished 'We Are Okay' by Nina LaCour, i love the book, very simple yet full of inspiration for life, for who we really are and finding ourselves.
Next read: The Penelopiad by Margaret Atwood. Heard about the author and finally lucky enough got it exchanged with my Terry Pratchett book during the kl book on the move event smile.gif

Friend lent me this book, The Witch Boy by Molly Knox Ostertag, very easy book to read because it's comic. Interesting story, fantasy genre, content very colourful xD

Just finished 'The Song Of Achilles' by Madeline Miller, like the title, it's a story about the Greek God Achilles. In my opinion, the story very interesting, heartbreaking and bittersweet :')
Next will be reading 'Circe' also by Madeline Miller (guess i am addicted on her writing :x)

Finished The Curious Incident of The Dog in The Night, it was already but not that addictive for me...

Currently reading : The Girl Who Drank The Moon, by Kelly Barnhill
(was attracted by its cover itself, feel very magical haha)

1984 By George Orwell. The book is now in public domain in most countries except USA, so it can be found for free or bought really cheap.

A story set in a dystopia controlled by a totalitarianism government party. We get to experience the dystopia through the protagonist who starts to gain individuality and starts to rebel.

I would highly recommend this book to everyone. Even though the book was written in 1949 the themes are still very relevant and somewhat relatable today.

I like the animal farm too, by the same author 😁

Sometimes I wonder if she is still writing her own book, or she just hires ghostwriters.
But as far as her fame goes, she can write anything she wants and people will still buy it. She no longer has a care in the world about profitability!

She did! This book is her latest work, previously was Ickabog also a book for children haha

I didn't know that she has a new book out! Seems that she is always in the news for non-literary related topics nowadays 🤧
