This was the first book I read by Susanna Clarke. I heard about it at a friend's birthday party, after someone gifted this book to the birthday person. After seeing how gorgeous the cover was, and hearing a little bit about the story, I decided to buy it!

This is an unusual post: today I did not finish a book, but I decided to consciously stop reading it. And yet, I give it a 3 stars out of 5, which, for me, doesn't mean it's bad. It means it is good, but it is still lacking something for me.

I started reading this book in June and, even though I was enjoying it, life happened and I started reading very infrequently. I feel like this is a cycle that happens every year: in the beginning of the year I read a lot, during winter, and spring. Then s...

This is the sequel of Before the coffee gets cold and I enjoyed it just as much. I keep the same rating I gave to the first book. It was just as good, a perfect continuation of the first book. Deeply magical and sentimental.

This book was quite interesting. Similarly to the books I've been reading recently, there's a magical element that makes this book be completely different from what I expected. In a nutshell, there's a man called Wallace that is definitely not a good perso...

This book is about two characters, Red and Blue, that stand on enemy sides of a time war. In this war, these two enemies end up falling in love until some one's boss discovers this "affair". I gave this book a 3 out of 5, not because the story is bad, but ...
