The 6 books and stories tied as my favourite: My favourite books

thisdreamsalive9 Comments

I don’t like making lists of my favourite books, albums, songs, movies etc because they always fluctuate. Something always comes along that makes me think “Wait, this is amazing!” or I simply outgrow what I once loved. For a long time, I didn’t have a favourite book, and felt like something was missing without one.… Continue reading The 6 books and stories tied as my favourite: My favourite books
