"Wuthering Heights" has been on my to-read list for a while. It's a classic known for its passionate and complex story. I'm drawn to the dark and wild atmosphere of the Yorkshire moors and the intense relationship between Heathcliff and Catherine. It sounds like a story that will stay with me long after I finish the last page.
Oh, definitely do read it! It's my favorite classic, and desperately needs more love because of how many people misunderstand it. Anything you can possibly think of, any general theme that has haunted humanity for ages, is in there. It's got a
huge potential for literary analysis and no matter how many times you read it, new stuff will jump out at you. Kinda like poetry in that way.

I've had Deathless by Catherynne Valente on my list for a while and even bought it. The thing is, to me, every book has a specific seasonal feel, and needs to be read in that specific season for best results - and Deathless feels like a winter book to me, so I've missed my window for this year. Doesn't help that global warming made it so winter only lasted like, two weeks, so that window is only going to get smaller and smaller.
So, I guess you will start to read Deathless by Catherrynne Valente on December 21st,2024. Let us know what the book was like when you finish it. What are you going to read for the summer? Let us know. Thank you for leaving your feedback, Ludovica.
I have no idea about this summer yet. It's a season for lighter reads, so I'm thinking some YA, maybe. Right now I'm mostly reading light novels 'cause that's all my brain can handle but any recs will be appreciated!

I think historical fiction or stories about Jews, Germans, and Christianity would make an interesting reading list.

Hi, Tomy. I recently had a review published about the book entitled Do You Really Want To Know by Kate Fraser. It is a story about how the lives of Jewish and German families intersect in post WW2 New York. The events that they struggle with happened in Hungary during the Second World War. Here is the link to my review if anyone is interested.

Hi. I heard that this is the second favorite book of American readers, just behind the Bible. Enjoy!

I cannot wait to get my hands on the next Daniel Silva book, his next installment in the Gabriel Allon series. They come out each summer and it’s always a true highlight of the summer for me. ALWAYS.

Ludovica, isn’t it beautiful how the summer coming inspires us to lighten and heat up our reading? YA is so much fun for that. Each year, I subconsciously read the heavy literature in the dark of winter and the beautiful lightness in the peak of summer. Xo

Oh, you're right! I wonder why that is. For me, part of it is definitely not wanting to bring heavy books to the beach. Also, after a whole year of studying/working, I guess having a mental break is nice.
