On Books and Emotions

I haven’t posted as many book review in a while, despite the large to-read stack that I walk past everyday. This is for a couple of reasons: I keep picking up new books and setting them down again, unfinished. This is getting better, even if it is a slow process. I’ve turned to rereading well
