List of favourite books/novels/etc.
That awkward moment when you're broke AF but you still choose to spend your money on books instead of food and survival, but you know, it's all good. As long as I'm alive LMAO
I've received a question on ASK, asking me who are my favourite authors outside of AFF, so I thought that I should might as well just make a blogpost about all the books I have read since I was younger until know, and that I actually liked.
