 Hey everyone, I hope you are doing well. This week, I read "Money to Burn" by Ricardo Pigila. I had high hopes for this novel, given the themes of mystery, deception, the creative process, and, most interestingly, criminal activity. Still, I like... read full post >>

“you have fuck-all to do and so you read” (74) That was me this past weekend. Well, not quite, I also had studying and work to do haha, but there was also lots of time to read.
