Hello, welcome to this weeks blogpost, and technically the last post about an actual book, this week I read “Faces in the Crowd” by Valeria Luiselli. I had some pretty high expectations for this book, partially for being one of the last ones of the semester, but mainly because it was written by a Mexican … read full post >>
