Hi, I'm so glad you asked! I'm currently re-reading Sputnik Sweetheart by Haruki Murakami and (as always) I'm really enjoying myself. It falls under magical realism, I think, and it really shows. Whenever I read any of Murakami's works I feel deeply immersed and moved by his words, but Sputnik Sweetheart is something that changed me in irrevocable ways. I really hope that more people will consider reading it!!

I just finished Midnight on Mars and submitted my review this morning. It is not really a genre that I am excited about, but do enjoy a nice Sci-Fi adventure from time to time. I enjoyed reading this particular book.

A friend just gifted me The Midnight Library by Matt Haig. Its main theme is one of choice and regret. I am pretty excited because I have heard such great things about the book.

I'm currently reading a book titled ' Beyond the Higher Grounds". I just started reading this book but I haven't picked anything very interesting. But I'm hoping that it will be interesting to me.

I'm currently reading Beyond the Higher grounds. I feel this book is a sort of adventure. I just read where the protagonist is travelling and suddenly has to stop somewhere to ask for directions. But just hold on a bit. I will give you more details once I'm through with it.
